Hands: Stir the Pot
Laura Brooke: This hand movement is called stir the pot.
This one's one of my favorites because my thumbs – I don't know about yours, but my thumbs feel the aches at the end of the day after all my texting, all the things I do with my thumb.
So what I want you to do is to just imagine you have a little pot of warm oil. And you're just stirring that pot with your thumbs, big circles.
Your pot can get bigger.
It can be a small one.
Don't forget to stir the other direction.
Oh, yeah.
Both directions, big circles, big as you want, stirring the pot.
You'll feel that all the way up through the thumb, maybe even up into the inside of the arm.
You can do this when you're waiting at a light behind the wheel of your car, at your desk, just any time.
Stir the pot. Really working that thumb.
Stir the pot.
