Try it yourself

This is best practised in the real exercise, where you click, drag or tap yourself.

Practise this

Watch out

  • You pull your whole hand down to reach the v.

    Curl only your finger and keep your wrist still.

Tips

  • Think of the curl as the opposite of the reach.
  • Return to the bump after every curl.

Why it works

The bottom row is a curl instead of a reach. The v is below the f and the m is below the j. Your index fingers know these places from the bumps. Keep your wrist still.
