I work out a lot, do strength training and sports but never really gave much thought to grip strength. As one ages (ahm, that must mean me :) I notice my grip isn't exactly what it used to be. After reading this book I found it an important reminder how very important our grip is, not just in strength training but as we get older. I don't want to be one of those old people who can't even open a jar of peanut butter.The author gives dozens of amazingly simple grip exercises that you can do at home, the gym or anywhere. I loved the way he listed numerous sports activities and how you can increase your grip for each of those sports you might be into; like golfing, tennis, baseball, basketball, even mountain biking and snowmobiling, and more. We often take our grip for granted, but really with a strong grip you can improve your performance in any sport.I use kettlebells at the gym but never thought about them for grip strength. I'll be doing a lot more of that now that I realize how important it is.This book is simple, easy to read and to the point- something I also appreciate, but with a huge amount of information to digest. Overall, a great little book that I intend to put to use immediately and incorporate into every workout I do from now on. Highly recommended.
