When most people work out they focus on arms, legs or even the core but never really think about how important the hands are. The hands provide you with the ability to hold, grip and squeeze and if they aren’t taken care of, those abilities may suffer.
As with most parts of the body, as we age we need to become more mindful of certain things and hand health is one of them! A decrease in hand function is likely if the hands are not cared for in both men and women.
It may seem tedious to add one more thing extra into your day, however, these exercises don’t take long and a little goes a long way. Hands are healthier and stronger if worked out daily and the muscles in the hand, fingers, and wrist benefit immensely.
