Most of us traders suffer from wrist and arm strains when trading for a long time, especially when sitting in front of the Monitor. I recently came accross this method of keeping the arms and shoulders fit and in peak condition - Remember as a trader you need to be fit in all areas! here is an article I recently came across.
Some good advice!
This article was on an exercise suggested for Traders, to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on to some of my friends. The article suggested doing it three days a week.
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax.
Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks. Then 50-lb. potato sacks, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks;
but be careful.
