The exercise aid is a strong loop fastened to an adjustable padded wrist strap. To hold an exercise machine the loop can be slipped over the handles of the machine.
To put on the aid slip it over your hand so that the
loop lies in the palm of your hand. When not under tension the aid easily slide on and off the machine, allowing complete individual independence and ability to ‘let go’ during rest periods.
