The Posture Up Grip Sack
The PURE study (2015): The Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study was a large, longitudinal, population-based study of nearly 140,000 adults across 17 countries.
Key finding: Researchers found that for every 5 kg decrease in grip strength, there was a 16% higher risk of death from any cause and a 17% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality, regardless of other factors like age, smoking, or exercise.
Significance: This landmark study showed that grip strength was a more accurate predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality than systolic blood pressure.
Why grip strength is a reliable biomarker
The scientific evidence indicates that grip strength is valuable not because squeezing an object makes you live longer, but because it is a key indicator of underlying physiological systems. Weak grip strength reflects:
Loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia): A decline in muscle mass and quality, which is associated with frailty, a higher risk of falls, and mobility issues.
Decreased neuromuscular function: Poor nerve activation, which can indicate issues with the brain and central nervous system. In fact, after a stroke, grip strength is a key metric for recovery.
Systemic inflammation: Chronic diseases often cause inflammation, which leads to the breakdown of muscle protein.
Cardiovascular and metabolic health: Strong grip strength is correlated with higher lean muscle mass and physical activity, which improve cardiovascular health and prevent conditions like insulin resistance.
Cognitive health: Numerous studies have found a positive association between stronger grip and better cognitive function, memory, and attention in older adults.
Fatal diseases that have preventable risk factors kill 270,000 Americans each year (CDC, 2014). It seems life often gets in the way of health so we treat disease rather than prevent it.
Real Recess flips this scenario using the Compounding Effect. Small habits compound, resulting in magnificent benefits. Try adding a Posture Up Grip Sack to your daily tasks. Place them by the door and carry them to and from your vehicle. Or, walk around the block with your sack.

Exhale and extend the hips, knees and ankles to stand.

Exercise Snacking
Improved Cardiovascular Health and Body Fat: A meta-analysis published in the journal Sports Medicine found that accumulated exercise (multiple short bouts) led to greater reductions in body fat and LDL cholesterol compared to a single continuous session, even when the total duration and intensity were the same.
Blood Pressure and Glucose Control: A small study on prehypertensive individuals found that doing three 10-minute walks per day lowered blood pressure more effectively than one single 30-minute walk. Additionally, research on "exercise snacking" has shown that short bouts of exercise can be particularly effective at controlling blood sugar levels and improving insulin sensitivity, especially when performed after a meal.
