You might not think you have time to do carpal tunnel exercises, but really, you do. Three minutes out of every hour you're awake can be all it takes to keep it from carpal tunnel syndrome. 45 minutes is a lot of time, true, but not if you do three minutes every hour for 15 hours (about the time you're awake during the day). This requires a little bit of dedication, but it beats getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
 
 The idea here is to be smart about when you do your carpel tunnel exercises. There can't be an excuse as to you not having time, because we know you do. How many minutes do you spend on your cell phone a day, check emails, or converse with co-workers? The time is there, you just have to find it. We're about to show you a couple exercises and give you times throughout the day to do them.
 
 Three minutes to relief
 
 Every hour, do at least one exercise. Depending on what you do at work, you can even do them for up to five minutes. Start small and increase your efforts as you go, though. And if you feel like you're straining your arms such that you're getting "carpal tunnel syndrome" symptoms, stop. Do an exercise such as we'll lay out for you and then continue with work. If you're having no problems, just do the exercises once every hour.
 
 Circles with your wrists
 
 This excise is really easy, and therefore it's one you should like. These are among the easiest of the carpal tunnel exercises, and so they're a good way to start out. Have you ever watched an umpire call a homerun? That's very similar to what you're going to do here, except you extend your index and middle fingers and circle clockwise. Do both hands, alternating between them.
 
 You can alternate the fingers for a really good workout. Use the middle and index fingers for the first set, and then the middle and ring fingers for the second set. Do this exercise until you've gone to reach of the fingers, but make sure the fingers are always adjacent to each other. Your wrists should feel much better when you're done.
 
 Forgetting to Remember
 
 If you forget to do your carpal tunnel exercises, don't worry. Starting off with wrist circle exercises is very easy and should get you into the habit without feeling like you're exercising at all. And, it's a good way to fight getting carpal tunnel syndrome but still continue to work as efficiently as possible throughout your day as usual.
 
 We also recommend that you do a couple carpal tunnel exercises in the morning when you get up and before you go to bed. It's just a good way to start and end your day. If we can teach you to think smart about your exercises, then the routines will come natural. The end result is you will prevent yourself from having to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome all together.
