Kneeling Forearm Stretch

What it is

This movement is a static stretch designed to improve flexibility and release tension in your forearms and wrists. You will kneel on the floor and place your hands in a specific position to isolate these muscle groups. It helps to lengthen the forearm flexors, which can become tight from daily activities. This beginner-level stretch is performed without any equipment.

Technique tips

• Kneel with your palms flat, fingers pointing back towards your knees.
• Slowly lean back until you feel a gentle stretch in your forearms.
• Keep your palms pressed firmly into the floor throughout the stretch.
• Avoid lifting your palms or fingers off the floor as you lean back.
• Breathe deeply and evenly as you hold the position.
• Hold the stretch for the recommended duration on your program.
