This depends on the exercise. Generally, exercises target multiple muscles, so it is best to consult a fitness professional or research the exercise to determine which muscles are targeted.
The proper form for hand extension exercises is to start by sitting or standing with your arms outstretched in front of you. Then, slowly extend your arms out to the sides, keeping your elbows bent slightly. Hold this position for 10-15 seconds before returning to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 10-15 times.
It is recommended to do hand extension exercises at least 3 times a week. However, if you are looking to increase strength and flexibility, you should aim to do them every day. Be sure to rest your hands in between sets to avoid overuse injuries.
To do hand extension exercises, you will need a resistance band or tube, a door anchor, and a hand grip. You may also need some other equipment such as a foam roller or a massage ball.
