Using the Duo is easy. If you want to use it with an elastic band or a weight, just attach them to the Duo to add some extra load for your fingers. Or, you can hang it on a quickdraw or a tree branch and let your body weight do the work. When using it, make sure your hands are clean and dry to get the best grip. Don't over - train at once; start with a few sets and gradually increase the intensity. To keep the Duo in good condition, store it in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for a long time, as this may damage the recycled rubber wood material. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a damp cloth.
