  • Will It Go Round In Circles?

    We've looked at these exercise devices before, but I thought I'd bring them around again. Keep those fingers LIMBER, people.

    DynaFlex Gyroscopic Exerciser




    The Dynaflex allows you to achieve the competitive edge no matter what instrument you play. This hand held gyroscope builds and conditions hands, wrist and forearms while also increasing hand speed and endurance. It’s like having personal musician’s gym in the palm of your hand.

    Simply start the rotation and then with a rocking motion, build up the gyroscopic speed and feel the burn. Great for keeping the playing muscles toned when away from your instrument or for pre-show warm up.

    I think I'm gonna get me one of these.

    It develops muscles, increases flexibility, and even improves your sense of timing, because you have to have rhythm to keep it moving.



    She goes for between $25.00 - $30.00 online...more for some of the deluxe models.

      I've been using this same one for a couple of years now to build up my hand, wrist and forearn strength for tennis. I guess I received the added benefit for bass guitar.

      I also have a pair of solid baoding exericse balls that help to build strength but also dexterity of the fingers. Got mine here if you're interested. They have some good video's on the site to show how to use them.
