Here is a trick I learned biking around in cold Las Vegas nights to warm your hands. Squeeze whatever you are holding hard, (or make a fist and squueze) in pulses about a second apart. It will force the blood through, like a miniature heart, and your hands won't feel cold at all.
- venomsnake 14y agoThat is an old trick while donating blood. It is good to see that it has alternative uses. Never thought of it that way.
- bcbrown 14y agoAnother trick that I learned from my ski team was to do arm circles. The centripetal force forces blood into your extremities.

Don't use any other joints. Each down move of the shoulder will pump blood into your hands with high pressure. We call it the penguin dance.
