1. An exercise grip, comprising:
a wrist strap having an open loop on one side, wherein the open loop is configured to receive an opposite end of the wrist strap; and
a protective portion that has a palm end and a finger end, wherein:
the palm end is located closer to the wrist strap than the finger end;
a first width of the palm end is larger than a second width of the finger end;
a first side of the protective portion is closer to the open loop than a second side of the protective portion;
the first side of the protective portion is configured to cover a portion of an ulnar side of a hand when the wrist strap is affixed to a wrist with the open loop on the ulnar side of the hand;
the second side of the protective portion is configured to be closer to a thumb of the hand when the wrist strap is affixed to a wrist with the open loop on the ulnar side of the hand;
a first convex segment defined by a first edge of the first side of the protective portion is closer to the wrist strap than a first concave segment of the first side defined by the first edge of the first side of the protective portion; and
a second convex segment defined by a second edge of the second side is closer to the finger end than the first concave segment of the first side;
the second width of the finger end is measured at a location of a first axis that (i) is parallel to a bottom edge of the wrist strap located between the first side and the second side, and (ii) passes through a vertex of the second convex segment;
a vertex of the first convex segment is located outside of (i) a rectangular plane defined by the first axis, (ii) the bottom edge of the wrist strap located between the first side and the second side, (iii) a first side axis orthogonal to the bottom edge of the wrist strap and extending between the bottom edge of the wrist strap and a first intersection point of the first axis with the first side, and (iv) a second side axis orthogonal to the bottom edge of the wrist strap and extending between the bottom edge of the wrist strap and a second intersection point of the first axis with the vertex of the second convex segment; and
a vertex of a second concave section defined by the second edge of the second side is (i) closer to the palm end than the second convex segment of the second side and (ii) inside the rectangular plane.
