Inspiration: The trend of home fitness training is becoming more and more popular. Dumbbells and hand grippers are very common basic muscle training equipment at home. However, most of the products currently on the market are made of metal, looks tough but rough, and each of the dumbbell or hand gripper comes only a single weight or grip strength, this caused a single product cannot meet the needs of the whole family, especially the elderly, women and young children.
