The CanDo Hand Exercise Grips in Yellow (X-Easy, 3 lb) are the lightest level in the CanDo ergonomic grip sequence. The ergonomic grip shape fits comfortably in the hand for controlled, consistent squeezing exercises, and the progressive CanDo resistance sequence provides a clear, structured path for advancing grip strength. Sold in pairs.
Occupational therapists and physical therapists who need a progressive hand grip strengthening tool for clients will find the CanDo Yellow X-Easy 3 lb the lightest entry-level option in the CanDo ergonomic grip sequence, sold in pairs for bilateral training. Users with very limited grip strength who need the gentlest starting resistance will find the Yellow 3 lb an appropriate entry point before progressing to Red 6 lb and higher levels. Home exercise users who want a structured, color-coded grip strengthening system with measurable progression will find the CanDo sequence practical for tracking improvement over time. DME providers and medical supply retailers that stock CanDo exercise products will find the 10010A a consistently available Yellow X-Easy 3 lb pair of hand exercise grips.
How does the CanDo resistance sequence work?
The CanDo grip sequence uses color coding to indicate resistance level, with the force requirement doubling at each step — from Yellow (X-Easy, 3 lb, lightest) through Red (Easy, 6 lb), Green, Blue, and Black (X-Hard, 48 lb, heaviest). This progressive structure allows therapists and users to advance resistance in a controlled, measurable way as grip strength improves.
Who should start with the Yellow level?
Yellow (X-Easy, 3 lb) is the lightest level and is designed for users with very limited grip strength who need the gentlest starting resistance. If you can barely close your hand against resistance or are just beginning grip strengthening, Yellow is the appropriate starting point. Always follow your therapist's recommendation for the correct starting level based on your strength assessment.
How do I use hand exercise grips correctly?
Hold one grip in each hand with the ergonomic shape fitting naturally in your palm. Squeeze the grip fully, hold for 2 to 3 seconds, then slowly release. Perform the number of repetitions and sets prescribed by your therapist. Avoid gripping so hard that you experience pain — some muscle fatigue is normal, but sharp or joint pain is a signal to stop and consult your therapist.
Can I purchase other resistance levels separately?
Yes. The CanDo hand exercise grips are available in all five resistance levels (Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, and Black) and are sold in pairs at each level. Check our store for the full CanDo grip sequence to build a complete progressive set or to find the next resistance level when you are ready to advance.
