o Strength Building GripGi provides resistance, helping to strengthen the muscles in your wrists, hands and fingers. This is beneficial for improving grip strength and overall hand health, both which are essential for performing all kinds of daily tasks. Forget about sports and fitness – think about how many times a day you use your hands to button a shirt, lift a fork, or type on your computer! o Dexterity and Range of Motion The pliable nature of the putty allows for dynamic hand movements, aiding increased dexterity and a broader range of motion. This is particularly useful in rehabilitation settings or for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries. o Fine Motor Skill Enhancement Regular use of GripGi Grip Performance Putty can enhance fine motor skills. This is valuable for activities that demand precision and coordination, such as typing, drawing, or playing musical instruments. o Rehabilitation Support GripGi can be hugely beneficial within rehabilitation programs for conditions like arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or after hand surgeries. It aids in regaining strength and functionality, contributing to a speedier recovery. o Stress Relief Help relieve daily stress by squeezing and manipulating the putty to provide a therapeutic outlet for tension, making it a useful tool for relaxation! o Customizable Resistance Levels GripGi Grip Performance Putty comes in three resistance levels – light, medium, and firm – allowing you to use a different resistance depending on what you want to achieve. For example the light putty can be used if you’re recovering from a hand injury, or if you’re looking to warm your hands up ahead of a training session whereas the firm putty can be used following that to work on increasing grip strength. o Portability and Convenience GripGi is compact and portable, making it easy to incorporate into daily routines at home, work, or during travel. Its convenience encourages consistent use, maximizing its benefits over time.

This will very much depend on your starting grip strength, and the purpose of why you’re using GripGi. For example - if you’re on your way to a training session and want to warm up, you can use the light or medium resistance to mobilise your hands. If it’s strength endurance you’re looking to improve upon, stay on the medium resistance and focus on longer sets. Conversely if you’re really keen to work on pure strength, use the firm putty and focus on fewer slower reps. All three products can (and should!) be used interchangeably. When choosing the resistance level: Start Low: If you're new to hand grip exercises, start with a lower resistance level and gradually progress as your strength improves. Listen to your body: Pay attention to how your hands feel during and after using the putty. If it's too easy, you may not be getting the full benefit. If it's too challenging and causes discomfort, you might need to switch to a lower resistance. Consult a professional: If you have specific hand or wrist conditions, or if you're using hand grip exercises as part of rehabilitation, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a physical therapist. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs. Remember that the goal is to challenge your hands appropriately without causing pain or strain. Consistency in performing hand grip exercises is key to seeing improvements over time.

Your hands are often one of the first points of contact with anything that you do on a daily basis, whether you are jumping on the mat for a jiujitsu tournament or gearing up for a day at the office. Strong hand muscles play a crucial role in daily activities and overall well-being. Not only do they support fine motor skills and dexterity, they’re crucial for maintaining hand strength as we age which helps prevent issues like arthritis. Grip strength is also used by medical professionals as an indicator of how strong the rest of your body is, both from a mobility and immunity point of view. Finally, robust hand muscles contribute to overall arm and upper body strength, which is essential for maintaining balance and preventing injuries. Whether in sports, daily chores, or professional settings, having strong hands enhances performance and reduces the risk of strain or discomfort.

GripGi Grip Performance Putty is for anyone looking to maintain or improve their hand health, including children and those recovering from injury. It works equally well for those using it for training and sports-related purposes as for those looking to optimise hand health for daily activities or jobs of all kinds.
