  • Hand Strengthening Exercises
    May 18 2026

    Did you know that our grip strength is one of the most reliable predictors of how long and how well you’ll live?

    Research consistently links stronger grip to lower all-cause mortality — it’s one of the simplest measures of overall health we have. And the good news? You can work on it from your sofa with a tennis ball.

    This short hand strengthening class takes you through a series of ball squeezes, pinch grips across every finger, and some gentle rolling and throwing work for dexterity.

    Grab a squishy ball if you’ve got one, a tennis ball if not, and let’s get to it.

    Please note: this is a general strengthening class. If you’re managing any pain or a flare-up in your hands, check with your healthcare provider before starting.

The first episode is coming on Wednesday 13th May where I’ll be talking to the world class actress and local legend herself, Jill Halfpenny.
