TL;DR: Keep your hands strong and healthy with a three-pack of FlexEx® ultimate hand exercisers for $9.99, a 33% savings as of July 21.
The human hand consists of 27 bones, 29 joints, and at least 123 named ligaments. And believe it or not, those 10 extremities attached to your hands have no muscles at all. Instead, the muscles in your palm and up your forearm move the tendons in your fingers. Fascinating, right?
While you probably rarely, if ever, think much about those things at the ends of your arms, you’d truly be lost without them. One way to work on keeping them healthy and strong is with a wonderfully wacky device called the FlexEx® Ultimate Hand Exerciser.
Great for musicians, athletes, writers, and anyone who regularly uses a computer or smartphone, the FlexEx® is like a resistance band for your fingers. Repetitive use can help you strengthen and rehabilitate your hand’s fingers, and forearms, and ultimately maximize your performance in whatever you use your hands for.
It comes in three colors — yellow, red, and blue — and each shape offers something slightly different. The yellow FlexEx® offers the lightest resistance of the three. It’s best used for physical therapy, rehabilitation, and for those with weakened hands. The red one is for medium resistance and is suited for those hoping to strengthen their hands and fingers (think writers or constant typers). The blue, which offers the heaviest resistance, is suited for advanced users who wish to further strengthen their fingers, hands, and forearms (think musicians).
The design is ergonomic, lightweight, and non-cumbersome, so you can easily pull it out on the go and get a little workout in. You can get the yellow, red, and blue FlexEx® Ultimate Hand Exercisers in a triple pack (three of each type) for just $9.99 (regularly $14) for a limited time and give those tiny bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles in your hands a workout just like the rest of your body.
