A solid grip has been long understood to indicate  a longer life because folks with strong hands tend to lead a physically active life.


Hand or grip strength is also important for daily tasks that become harder as you age, whether you're opening a jar or catching yourself to avoid a fall. Despite this, it's not something many people go to the gym for, or think about much at all.


"Hands are this important body part that's not on our exercise radar," said Katy Bowman, a kinesiologist.


“People's hands are becoming weaker overall, possibly because of the way we use smartphones and touch screens,” said Dr. Erin Nance, a hand surgeon in New York City.
