There are two common signs for "hands" in American Sign Language (ASL):

1. The "H" handshape with a slight twist:

* Start with your dominant hand in a "H" handshape (thumb extended, other fingers closed).

* Twist your wrist slightly so your palm faces inward.

* Move your hand from your chest outward, as if you are pushing your hands forward.
