    I came across this video that had some good hand and wrist exercises.  I found it to be very useful, but also find it challenging to add another exercise  to my daily routine.

    Do you feel overloaded with all the things we are told to do with respect to exercise (eg; strength training, endurance work, practicing balance, stretching etc.)  What is your exercise routine like?  Do you ever feel overwhelmed trying to fit it all in?

    Yes, I do hand exercises, but I incorporate them into my daily routine:  When stopped at a red light; while walking from parking lot into store.  I hate exerecise classes so I try to make exercise part of life like vacuuming, dusting, yardwork,.  I also do some floor exercises and stretches at night.

    I do these exact exercises every day and have found them very helpful—well worth the effort—especially for handwriting and kitchen duties.

      thanks for your feedback.  my handwriting is getting worse, so I think I will have to look at doing these more consistently
