Exercise

There are several natural signs for exercise. One looks like you are pulling up some dumbbells at the gym, doing bicep curls: starting with your arms down and both hands in fists with thumb and fingers facing you, bend your forearms at the elbow, then pull up toward your body and repeat a few times. Another sign for exercise looks like tricep pull-ups, where you start by holding both fists on either side of your head, fingers facing out, then push them upward aligned with your head and parallel to each other, repeating this up-and-down motion a couple of times.

A third alternative ASL sign for exercise is to rotate both letter 'X' (or hooked) hands on either side of your head, as if you are mimicking jumping rope.
