Parks & Recreation, Oct, 2001

OPTP introduces the new Fin & Flipper Exercise Logs for aquatic exercise. These easy to use, buoyant exercise logs provide added resistance in the water for upper and lower body exercises. The Fin & Flipper Exercise Logs can be used on either the hands or feet. Simply slide the hand or foot through the innovative Fin & Flipper slot and begin to exercise. The unique soft foam is comfortable and the grip-free design does not require grip strength. This grip-free position creates a more stable and comfortable position for the wrist and allows you to be more relaxed while exercising. These features make the Fin & Flipper a perfect item for those with arthritis or stress related concerns. Fin & Flipper Exercise Logs can be used as a gentle flotation device or use the resistance in the water for muscle strengthening and conditioning. Available in two sizes: small or large, with the large size offering the most resistance. Each pair includes sample exercises.
