Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

Hiii! Cane grip anon here again :DD i would absolutely appreciate the stretches that you do if it's not too much of a problem :DD

it's no problem! hopefully i explain this good haha

first you'll pull each of your fingers back as far as comfortable for two seconds. then you'll pull all of your fingers back for five seconds. do this on each hand

after this you'll push your hands together in a prayer like motion (🙏 this) and raise them above your head. then shake them out. do this five times

then shake your hands out for a few (three or so) seconds and rub your forearms, wrists, palms, and fingers.

if your hands feel warmer after you're doing good! the blood is flowing to your hands

hope this was helpful! /gen

Prepping your Body!

Since we have already talked about goals and motivation, lets talk about some warm ups!

Warms up are a crucial part in any sport. It helps warm up the body and muscles before starting your workout. It also helps prevent injuries. Some different ways to warm up are listed below:)

Dynamic stretching= arm circles, leg swings, torso twists

Light cardio= jogging in place, jumping jacks

Static stretching= shoulder stretch, side stretch, hamstring stretch, touch your toes

Do not forget to hydrate as well! Drinking water before you swim helps keep your muscles functioning properly. Always make sure you are stretching before any workout, so your body is prepared. Remember it also helps prevent injuries!

Happy swimming 💙!
