    What's the story

    In the modern world of hustle and instant communication, your typing speed on a cell phone can be a game-changer in productivity and efficiency.

    Whether you're crafting professional emails or keeping up with your friends, fast and accurate thumbs can save time and minimize mistakes.

    Here are 5 exercises that will build up your thumb muscles for speedy texting.

    Stretch

    Thumb stretches for flexibility

    Thumb flexibility is crucial for quickly and accurately hitting different keys.

    Hold this position for five to 10 seconds before releasing.

    Repeat this exercise three times for each thumb to improve flexibility.

    This exercise improves thumb dexterity, making them glide over your phone's screen like Olympic figure skaters!

    Go slow at first, then pick up the pace for a comfortable challenge.

    Repeat this 10 times with each hand.

    Squeeze

    Squeeze ball exercise for strength

    Turns out, there's a super easy way to build up your typing stamina: Thumb exercises! Apparently, stronger thumbs = more texting power (and less fatigue when you're deep into that gossip sesh).

    Just grab a small squeeze ball or a stress ball, and give it a good squeeze with only your thumb and fingers for five seconds, then release.

    Do three sets of 10 squeezes with each hand every day.

    Pinch

    Pinch strength exercises

    Enhancing your pinch strength is vital for accurate key selection on touch screens.

    For this exercise, you need a soft foam ball or a folded piece of towel that fits comfortably in your palm.

    Pinch the object between the tips of your thumb and each finger individually, holding each pinch for three to five seconds before releasing.

    Do two sets of 10 pinches with both hands.

    Wrist stretch

    Wrist flexor stretch

    Wrist flexibility helps in hand movement and fast typing on your cellphone.

    Hold your arm out straight, palm down, and gently pull on your fingers with the other hand to stretch your wrist and forearm.

    Hold for 15-20 seconds, then switch arms. Repeat this three times on each arm to keep your wrist flexors flexible.

    Done!
