As a tip for a shoe gift, the X-Stretch
Encourages stretching with both hands
The x-stretch Glitter feels pleasant and - like a kind of elastic - entices you to stretch between your hands.
Stimulating resistance
The resistance of the stretching feels pleasant and encourages you to continue.
Activated
It has an activating effect and immediately gives a feeling of fitness . According to the product description, the Stretch Glitter can be stretched to a length of 3 meters. I could not try that because my arms are not long enough for that. The span of my arms was about 1.40 meters. When stretching, the last bit gives more and more resistance.
Feel the muscles
You can clearly feel the muscles of your arms, shoulders and upper back. You only get this effect if you stretch the Stretch Glitter between your own hands, not if you and someone else pull on one end.
Suggestion: fold in half
I also liked folding the Stretch Glitter in half and then stretching it lengthwise for more resistance.
In summary
It is very suitable for both children and adults to maintain alertness during sedentary activities, for example when you have to listen to something or think about something.
