Reading the news just got physical

Read the news? Great, now here's what you can do with the newspaper. Take the paper and tear it in half right down the middle. Now, ball-up the newspaper in each hand until it becomes a tight mass and then discard it. Take another piece of paper and do the same thing, until it becomes a tight ball of paper. You can do the same thing with an old phone book or magazine.

The benefit, you are strengthening your hands, fingers, and your forearms. Bruce Lee did this all the time (for you Kung Fu fans) and so can you...right at home. Make sure to limber up your fingers and wrist before and afterwards so your intricate muscles can reap all the benefits. Then, wash your hands (may be some ink residue on your fingers) and let them rest.
