Strength in Your Hands: Why bounti's Hand Grips & Orb Are Workout Essentials

At bounti, we’re constantly evolving to ensure every product and workout we create deliver functional, science-backed benefits that go far beyond surface-level fitness. Our two accessories; the bounti Hand Grips and bounti Orb, are no exception.

Both tools may look compact, but don’t be fooled by their size. When integrated into your rebounding or strength training sessions, they unlock deep muscle activation, enhance neuromuscular coordination, and support healthy aging... Particularly through grip strength, which is one of the most powerful (yet often overlooked) predictors of long-term wellness.

Let's explore how each accessory works, why they’re especially effective when used together, and what the science says about their benefits for your body, brain, and beyond.

The bounti Hand Grips: Squeeze Your Way to Better Strength!

Designed for accessibility and effectiveness, the bounti Hand Grips are soft, oval- shaped resistance tools that gently challenge your hands, wrists, and forearms. Used during rebounding, they help enhance the mind-muscle connection, which is that vital neurological link between your brain and the muscles you're working.

The Science of Grip Strength

Research has consistently shown that grip strength is more than just a hand function. It’s an indicator of:

• Longevity: A 2015 study in The Lancet found lower grip strength to be a stronger predictor of mortality than systolic blood pressure.

• Cognitive Function: Studies from the NIH link strong grip strength to improved mental processing, especially as we age.

• Musculoskeletal Health: A weak grip is associated with increased risk of falls, fractures, and reduced mobility.
  

Mind-Muscle Connection in Action:

• Individuals aged 50+, where grip strength begins to naturally decline

• Those looking to improve control and coordination

• Anyone wanting to build total-body strength from the fingertips up

The bounti Orb: Small Tool; BIG Gains

While the bounti Hand Grips target muscle engagement and endurance through resistance and repetition, the bounti Orb brings strength, control, and power into the mix.

Weighing in at 1.5kgs, the bounti Orb is a game-changing alternative to traditional dumbbells. Its compact size and ergonomic shape make it perfect for rebounding, strength training, or functional floor work.

What makes the bounti Orb unique?

• Ergonomic Shape: Activates both large muscle groups and the often-neglected stabiliser muscles in your fingers, wrists, and forearms.

• Grip Focus: The ridged, non-slip surface keeps the orb secure in your hand (even in sweaty sessions) while forcing your body to stabilise it with precision.

• Functional Strength: Improves your ability to lift, carry, balance, and stabilise, which are skills we use every day.

Biology Meets Functional Fitness: How These Tools Work Together

Used individually, the bounti Hand Grips and Orb offer powerful, targeted benefits. But used together, they create a full-circle approach to functional hand strength, upper body conditioning, and total-body control. Here’s why:

• The bounti Hand Grips support muscle endurance, circulation, and neurological control, helping establish and strengthen motor pathways.

• The bounti Orb challenges the body with external load and dynamic stability, pushing muscles to generate power and maintain precision under resistance.

• Together, they target both intrinsic (small, fine-control muscles) and extrinsic (larger, movement-based muscles), which is a rare combination in conventional training tools.

This synergy is particularly potent during our bounti rebounding sessions, where your body is already engaging in rhythmic, low-impact movement. Adding these accessories takes your bounce from cardio to neuromuscular conditioning... Without compromising joint safety or mobility!

Why This Matters (ESPECIALLY As You Age)

Aging doesn’t mean you have to lose strength or coordination. In fact, targeted resistance tools like the Hand Grips and Orb can slow down the aging process, improve functional independence, and even protect cognitive health. Key benefits include:

• Boosted grip strength, reducing the risk of falls and injury

• Enhanced neuroplasticity through fine motor coordination

• Improved reaction time and muscle response

• Better circulation and joint integrity in hands and wrists
