During our training session JY told me about this amazing new device for hand strength. It is called the 'powerball'... Now this blogger does not endorse products , but I thought I would tell the trainers of the world about it because it was the first I had heard about it and sounded intriguing! This is something a trainer rarely does because we focus on the larger muscles, not realizing of course that is the weakest link in the chain that stops a client from acheiving more out of their workouts. We focus on abs (sorry to be politically corect... Core), the arms in men, the waist in women but we often forget about the little muscles. It is also important to note tha the hands contain very small muscles and we need to maintain not only strength but also dexterity. Please if you use something like this gyroscope do not forget to add some tactility skills for your client. PohFolk
