“We’re so inspired by the iconic and nostalgic workout videos of the 80’s and Candy Crush Saga® was the perfect partner to bring that vibe to life through Thumb Gym,” Coco from Bob’s Dance Shop said. “The best part is, these thumb workouts can be done anywhere and with a fun, jazzy twist! We’re certainly ready for a summer of crushing it.”

The workout video provides a fun and interactive way to stay active and improve finger dexterity and strength, complete with Candy Crush “thumbells”. Within the video, the stars of Bob’s Dance Shop showcase thumb exercises that are easily replicated by players at home including warm ups like jazz hands, thumb stretches, lifts and taps – all proved to improve thumb strength.
