I have no idea what I would be able to do.

Do you use a handgripper on a daily basis or have you in the past? Even a wal-mart gripper or one from the dollar store?
If you have I would start off with the Sport or Trainer. If not, you may want to start with the Guide even though I find it way too easy. If you go to the gym a lot and think you have pretty decent grip stength you could start off with the No. 1 but expect some trouble. I closed the No. 1 with each hand the first day I tried it but I had been using a Guide for over a year.

Hell yeah we do that at work also. Once a day (sometimes twice a day) a coworker and myself do 20 pushups, freeweights, benchpress, and other miscellaneous resistance training in the gym at work. Just enough to make a difference but not enough to sweat. If the people at work can do their 15 minute smoke break every 2 hours then I will work out for 15 minutes!!
BTW these Captains of Crush grippers really get some conversations going at work. So far 6 out of 25 people have been able to close my No 1. Only three people have been able to do it with the left hand (myself included).
