Finger-thumb opposition

With one hand, point your fingers and thumb straight up. Your wrist should be relaxed, following the line of your fingers and thumb.
Touch your thumb to each finger, one finger at a time. This will look like an "okay" sign. Try to make the circle as round as you can. And try to keep your other fingers as straight as you can.
Repeat 8 to 12 times with each hand.
