    Rice Bucket Grab


    This exercise is a traditional hand-strengthening exercise common in Eastern martial arts. Fill a bucket with rice or fine playground-quality sand, and place it on the floor or a low stool. Keep your fingers straight, and plunge your hand into the bucket as deeply as possible. Keeping your hand in the bucket, close and open your fist against the resistance offered by the contents. Continue until your efforts begin to weaken, and then change hands.
