Grip Training for a healthy life
Did you know that a strong grip strength makes everything that you do in your daily life more comfortable – from carrying your purse or briefcase or luggage to carrying groceries, using a screwdriver, painting, maintaining better control of your dogs on a leash, and picking up or playing with your “children”?
Backed by research
2011: A group of kinestheticians found that grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of overall muscle strength and endurance.
2015: Researchers found an 11-pound decrease in grip strength correlated to a 17 percent increased risk of cardiovascular death, a 7 percent increased risk of heart attack, and a 9 percent increased risk of stroke.
2018: A group of physicians discovered that grip strength was also an accurate predictor of cognitive function in people in the general population and those diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Grip Training for a healthy heart
Did you know that a 12-minute isometric handgrip training a day can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) by >6/4 mm Hg, respectively? In perspective, this is equivalent to losing 12lbs of weight to see a similar drop in systolic BP.
Backed by research
In a study published in the Harvard Newsletter, many participants showed a significant decrease in their systolic blood pressure of 14 points on average.
The American Heart Association recommends a 12–minute isometric exercise to regulate your blood pressure. AHA Journal

Grip Training For A Healthy Mind
Grip strengthening exercises help to refine and improve your motor skills. Fine motor skills aid our cognitive growth and develop continuously throughout the stages of life. These skills involve using smaller muscle groups to perform smaller movements with the wrists, hands, and fingers. These motor skills become rusty if we don’t use them often as we age.
Backed by research
A UK Biobank study established that grip strength is significantly associated with cognitive functioning in the general population, particularly for working memory and processing speed. UK Biobank.
A study published in ScienceDirect concluded that muscle strength as measured by hand grip strength is associated with improved reaction time. ScienceDirect
How Can Squegg Help?
Hand and mind coordination
Squegg allows you to refine your fine motor skills and retain them as you age. With gamification techniques, you can improve cognitive function through mind-muscle coordination.
Information processing skills
