If you need to get started improving your grip strength but are not into doing weight lifting or exercising much, or maybe your are older and just want to maintain some basic strength for chores around the house, there are a few exercises that you will be able to do with what you may have around your house. Just a few times a week is all that is needed, any more and you could over do it.
The more popular exercise is to squeeze a ball, you may have a small rubber ball or tennis ball already. If not somebody may have one they could give you or just buy a cheap rubber ball, it’s best to get one sized to fit fully into the palm of your hand.
You can just squeeze the ball while watching T.V., driving in the car (be careful) or just about anytime that is good for you. What you can do is squeeze the ball maybe 10 to 20 times, let your arm rest a for a moment then do another 10 to 20. How many sets you do is based on how how strong you feel, as you get stronger you can do more. Another thing you can do is just squeeze the ball as hard as you can for a count of 5 then release. As you get stronger you could squeeze for a little longer.
Take a bath towel and twist it using your forearms and hands. Your hands will twist the towel in opposite directions, twist this way for a while then switch directions. Twisting this way in two directions will exercise different muscle groups. I would also suggest doing both towel twisting and squeezing the ball during each exercise session so you fatigue more muscle groups at one time.
Make sure you exercise each hand equally so you develop them together. Your forearms may hurt at first but as you get stronger it will get better and you will find that you can do a lot more work with your hands.
