When you create your workout plan, chances are you’re thinking about ways to strengthen your arms, legs and back, not your fingers. But for frequent typists, fingers and wrist muscles can become overworked and fatigued, just like other parts of the body.

Simply slip your fingers into the holes and open and close your hands in repetitive movements. The three bands come in graduated levels of resistance, so it’s easy to tailor your workout to your specific needs. $9, amazon.com.
