Make a gentle fist with your thumb curled under your fingers. Let your wrist drop downwards.
Using your right hand, put your thumb running across the left wrist and wrap the fingers around your left fist. Gently pull the left fist towards your body. Hold this stretch 20 seconds.
Do not let your shoulder rise up as you do this.
Relax for 15 seconds and repeat this stretch twice more.
