Expander exercises

The expander develops well the muscles of the hands, especially the shoulder joint, as well as the trunk. Exercises can be done to warm up or exercise in the morning. The expanders that are manufactured at the factory are made up of many parts. Namely, from springs, but rubber bundles attached to two handles can be used. It is also possible to increase the load each time, additional springs are included.
