Simple Ways to Work Your Forearms

In many articles devoted to physical training in the office, the problem of overstraining small forearm muscles is in general discussed—as a result of carrying a static load for an extended time (like holding a pen while writing) or, on the contrary, various types of more dynamic work (for example, working at a computer). The result of both is the tiring

More and more women prefer to sit in the traffic jams than to push other people around in the subway or to freeze while waiting at a bus stop outside. As soon as it is financially practical, they buy a car.

But not everyone should buy a foreign car, the driving of which you doesn’t require considerable effort. That’s why many women buy domestic cars, which to all appearances are manufactured generally for men, whose foreare muscles are well developed to hold a steering-wheel. If, during your first driving lesson, you found it a bit hard to turn the steering-wheel and have not thought about buying a foreign car with power steering, you should begin to strengthen the muscles in your forearms. Doing so will also give you confidence and safety while on the road.

To do this exercise in the office you need an elastic band or a shock-absorber, which you can buy in any drugstore or fitness shop.

Exercise

Sitting on a chair, lean forward with the forearm on your thigh so that your head can hang down. Then put one end of the elastic under your foot and take the other end in your hand(photo 1).

From the starting position bend the arm at the wrist, straining the muscles of the forearm as much as possible (photo 2), then slowly return in the starting position.

At the end of the exercise stretch the worked muscle by turning the arm as shown in photo 3 and pull on your fingers to stretch the arm.

While this is a good exercise, don’t do it too often and try not to breath too hard. We remind you again to always take a breath as you perform each repetition. Returning to the starting position, do not relax the muscles and do not “throw” the forearm.

Try to find an elastic or shock-absorber with enough length and elasticity to do the exercise five to 15 times for each arm. Make two to three intensive approaches. Your muscles should “refuse” to weaken. Such intensity is necessary for the muscles to become not only firm, but also strong. Do the exercise on the morning and evening of every working day, and after a month you will feel much more confident holding the steering-wheel.
