Fast Rubbing
Fast rubbing provides a frictional component that produces heat and helps to mobilize the tissues of the hand to encourage blood flow.

You can perform these exercises in two ways:

Palm-to-Palm

Step 1: Simply place your hands together from your palms to your fingers.

Step 2: Rub your hands together vigorously for one minute. This counts as one set.

Perform three sets, allowing one minute of rest between sets.

Palm-to-Dorsum (Back of Hand)

Step 1: Place one of your hands on the back of your other hand.

Step 2: Rub the back of your hand vigorously for one minute. This counts as one set.

Perform three sets with each hand, allowing one minute of rest between sets.
