Guest guest Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 http://www.bodytrends.com/exercise_instructions/gripmaster_RSG4.asp http://www.isokineticsinc.com/ One of the oldest and simplest consists of holding a sheet of newspaper by the corner using your fingers with your arm stretched straight out in front of you. Using the fingers alone, attempt to ball up the newspaper into your hand while keeping the arm stretched out straight. Try to do this as fast as you can and repeat it with a fresh sheet of newspaper (if no one needs to read it!) until your arm, hand, and fingers become fatigued. Gradually, this will help you build endurance and speed. Use the large sheet from a NY Times or Chicago Tribune-type paper. Crumble a newspaper sheet with one hand. Don't use the other hand for help. Do this for a few dozen sheets for each hand. What are some other exercises you do? I practice scales on my piano and also do hand-finger water exercises, each finger touching my thumb fast, like the test neurologists have us do sometimes. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
