How to strengthen your hands: 5 simple ways

Our hands do hard work every day, but we often forget about their health and strength. Doing the exercises incorrectly can lead to painful sprains and wrist injuries. To avoid these problems and strengthen your hands, you need to know how to practice correctly. In this article we will talk about five simple ways to strengthen your hands.

Method number 1 - Expander

This simple exercise does not require any special time to practice. You can use a simple rubber ring or ball for 25 UAH. Squeeze it for 10 minutes every day, anytime, anywhere. This exercise will help strengthen the muscles of your arms and hands.

Method No. 2 – Powerball hand trainer

Powerball is a technically advanced resistance band in the shape of a ball that rotates. By applying your force to the ball, you trigger the mechanism inside the ball and it begins to rotate. The more you rotate your wrist, the more the ball moves. On average, such a simulator costs from 150 UAH, but there are also more expensive models with backlighting, display, rotation counting, etc. This exercise will help strengthen your hands and improve their coordination.

Method No. 3 – Yoga for hands

Many power yoga poses utilize wrist strength. To strengthen the hands, they practice a complex called mani-bandha-shakti-vikasaka. Stretch your arms forward, clench your fists and rotate them forcefully, trying to reach your wrists with your fists. In the same starting position, bring your fingers together and sharply bend your palm up and down. Do these exercises for 5-7 minutes every day. This exercise will help strengthen your hands and improve their flexibility.

Method No. 4 – Horizontal bar

A horizontal bar or wall bars will help strengthen your hands. Just hang with your arms outstretched, trying to grab a stronger grip with your fingers. Do several approaches and try to increase the time of each approach a little each time. This exercise will help strengthen your hands and improve their endurance.

Method number 5 – Jump rope

Jumping rope will help strengthen your hands and burn extra calories. While jumping, actively rotate your hands back and forth. This exercise will help strengthen your hands, increase their strength and endurance, and improve your cardiovascular system.

In conclusion, strengthening your hands is not only a way to prevent injury and illness, but also improve your overall health. Remember to exercise regularly and correctly, choosing exercises that are right for you. If you have any medical conditions or health problems, be sure to consult your doctor before starting exercise.
