Hands and arms. Let us move now to the hands. The first thing that I should like you to do, with both your hands at the same time, is make very tight fists (See Fig. 12.5). Tighten your fists and arms together. Ready? Begin. Clench your fists very tightly. Tighter. Hold it, and relax. This exercise is excellent if you type or do a lot of writing during the day. Now let us repeat. Ready? Begin. Clench both your fists very tightly. Hold it, and relax. To work the opposing muscles, simply spread your fingers as wide as you can (see Fig. 12.6). Ready? Begin. Spread your fingers very wide. Wider. Hold it, and relax. Now let us repeat this exercise. Ready? Begin. Spread the fingers wide. Wider. Widest of all. Hold it, and relax. Concentrate on the warmth or tingling in your hands and forearms. (Pause here 20 s.)
