--Lyraina, try putting on more sweaters. When you don't have enough body heat your body tries to huddle it all in your core to keep your immune system up. I have poor circulation and stacking sweaters makes my body have enough heat that it sends enough to my hands and feet : )

--My brothers like that in the winter, he constantly goes to the washroom to run warm water over his hands lol.
11 Jan 10:26
--Lyraina: maybe sit on them a while, or bring up your core's temperature with a warm vest. I can ask my classmate from Russia or Norway what they do?

--but I am exercising, eating healthy and never smoked, and still have icy fingers all the time :(
11 Jan 09:35
--it might be an overall health thing cause when i quit smoking i also started eating better and training again
11 Jan 09:33
--to be honest when i was smoking i had very cold hands and feet and since ive quit it seems i have better circulation

--coffee, tea, ginger, other herbs, and alcohol briefly solves the cold fingers; physical exercise solves it for longer duration
11 Jan 08:38
--it's more to do with circulation, fingerless gloves aren't too effective, unfortunately

--eh i dont pay attention to it that much. its weird because my hands sweat alot too like when i start a paintings or doing something really technical i get anxious and my wacom looks like a slip n slide! D: lol
11 Jan 07:34
--yeah, I'm one of those cold-fingered people too, but normally I don't really mind.. but it's annoying while painting
11 Jan 07:29
--i get complaints from people saying my hands are too cold all the time lol. i think its a circulation thing
11 Jan 07:25
--I don't want to heat up the whole room just because my fingers grow cold all the time :/
11 Jan 07:25
--speaking of wrists, does anyone else have the problem of hands/fingers growing really cold (and as a result stiff) while painting?
11 Jan 07:16
--sounds like ridiculous commerical gym personal trainer theories to me. back when i was doing strongman and powerlifting stuff i was always taught that basic exericses are the most effective, especially full body movements like squats and deadlifts. i never did any "grip exercises" back then but i can assure you my wrists were strong just from pulling and pushing large amounts of weight. and from my personal experience i think that bodyweight exercises such as push ups and dips are also effective. just my opinion though

--not your forearm, not trying argue just pointing it out. yea you work grip strength with pull ups but that only works extensor muscles not flexor or the forearm
