Exercises to improve hand strength

Track and field athletes, gymnasts, boxers, and MMA artists all make extensive use of their hands everyday. Alongside regular exercises, they need to do some exercises exclusively for their hands. Of course, there are plenty of hand exercise strengtheners available in the market today. These work on specific muscle groups and strengthen the muscles of your hand. Here are some simple hand exercises that you can do anytime you feel like. All you need to do to strengthen our hands is to spare a couple of minutes each day for these hand exercises. You will notice the improvement within days.
1) Clasp your hands behind the head. At the same time, pull your shoulder blades together and the elbows back. You can repeat the exercise a couple of times. Next, apply gentle force with your right palm to bend the left hand backward. Hold the position for about 3 seconds. Repeat about times for each wrist. You can perform the exercise in reverse position. Bend both the right and left hand forward by turn.

2) By keeping your wrist straight, touch the thumb to each fingertip in such a way that it makes the shape of letter "O". Try to form "o" with each finger and then relax your fingers. If required, you can take help of other hand.

3) Try and touch the finger tips to the palm entirely. After touching the finger tip to the arm end, relax for few minutes. Then, begin to bend the fingers joints closest to the finger tip. Now curve the joint of knuckles. After taking rest, perform the exercise in reverse position.

3) Try to squeeze a rubber ball for strengthening your hand. While performing this exercise all your fingers and thumb should contribute together.

4) Join the palms of both hands. Imagine you have a lemon between your hands. You need to apply force from both the hands to squeeze the lemon. This is a good exercise to build up muscles.
