Research
Grip strength and weight training have a very important relationship with health or rehabilitation. Presently most of the dumbbells or grippers are emphasize on functionality and were made of metal and spring, looks tough but rough, may not suitable to all age member in the family, even may cause accidental injuries. This design it’s a weight adjustable dumbbell plus gripper, the very first fitness tool for hand and arm muscle training that integrated dumbbell and gripper in a single fitness product to be made in silicone material with different grip strength and weight.
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.
