Getting Stronger: Let Your Fingers Do Exercise

By Bakers North


If you work in medical billing, you must come home to having sore hands every day. Many people don't realize all of the typing that goes on in a single day. A lot of people do typing in different jobs. However, billers have to do coding and often put their hand muscles to the test. Here are a few tips in order to keep your hands strong and less sore throughout the day.

Doing pushups every single day is important. Many people that do pushups say that they have a difficult time with them. However, this only means that your upper arm strength is weak and needs some strength training. Doing a pushup also helps your hands to get stronger. When you type, you can often feel like everything is working out well for you. Typing is a way for people to feel like they have accomplished much. Our strength is often associated with our weaknesses.

Learning how to stretch your fingers properly is the best way to feel better physically. Take the tip of each finger and bend it back for around a minute. Since you have ten fingers, take your time in stretching each one out. You will find that your fingers are less sore throughout the day. This exercise is also good for anyone that types a lot. If you spend many years in typing, your fingers do get more tired. It is not uncommon to feel sore after a long day at the office.

Another great exercise is to take a bowl of cold water. The bowl should be big enough to put your hands in. You need to fill it with ice. Once you do that, wait around five minutes. Once the water is cold enough, dip your hands in there and move them around. You will find that by doing this, your fingers and joints begin to loosen up. It is important to put your hands in the water for around 20 seconds and then pull them out. Do this around ten times for each hand. As you pull your hands out each time, wiggle your fingers around and your wrists. You will find this to be soothing.

It is important to look at your own personal needs. Remember that exercise is not just about lifting weights and stretching. It is also about bouncing. Many medical billers use rebounders. They jump on it for around five minutes a day in order to increase oxygen going into the body. Over time, the body begins to feel a sense of happiness because it feels more energetic. People often go through stages in which they feel sluggish throughout the day. People that use a rebounder say that it actually causes your mood to get happier.
