The details

This two-pack of hand strengtheners features an adjustable resistance of 22 pounds to 132 pounds, making it ideal for any fitness level. It’s made of heavy-duty plastic that’s reinforced with metal alloy to create a durable and safe product that’s comfy on your hands and fingers.

To use the NIYIKOW grip strengthener, just select your desired resistance and start squeezing it; it’ll help to strengthen your hands, forearms, wrists and fingers. It weighs under half of a pound, so you can easily toss it into your backpack or purse to do strengthening exercises while you’re out and about.

What the experts say

According to Harvard Health Publishing, grip strength was found to be a better predictor for death or cardiovascular disease than blood pressure.

Research that tracked the grip strength of adults in 17 countries found that each 11-pound decrease in grip strength was linked to a “17 per cent higher risk of dying from heart disease, a 9 per cent higher risk of stroke, and a 7 per cent higher risk of heart attack.”

In order to build muscle strength, experts recommend resistance training two or three times per week. For daily muscle building, experts say that simple things like lifting your milk carton a few times before you put it back in the fridge could help.
