By doing so, it is intended to avoid boring due to one-handed exercise, to be able to train not only both hands, but also both arms and chest, and to apply an acupressure effect to the palm of the hand.

[0008]

The above-mentioned document (1) has a problem in that the number of projections provided on the main body is small, and the body is small and light, so that the effect of stimulation, change, or expansion is problematic. In addition, since a sufficient acupressure effect cannot be expected, or the manner of use tends to be limited, adverse effects such as the inability to achieve general-purpose use and the possibility of being reluctant are considered.

[0009] Further, in the document (2), since the configuration of the disc-shaped sphere and the connected body is a monotonous shape, the method of use is limited, and there is a possibility that general-purpose use cannot be achieved and that the user is dismayed. There may be adverse effects such as
