Fitness Mad Adjustable Wrist and Ankle Weights Set for Women & Men - 2.2lbs Each - Workout, Running, Walking, Aerobics, Home Exercise & Gym Training

I do a lot of walking - I try to do half an hour a day most days, and we have a lot of hills where we live - so it's an excellent way to keep fit. I have also had operations on both feet and my right knee because of physical issues stemming from childhood, so running is out of the question. However, I felt I needed a bit more on my walks, so bought these weights in both sizes (I have left a similar review on the heavier ones) and tend to use the lighter ones on my arms and the heavier ones on my ankles to just 'up the ante' a bit.You soon get used to wearing them. They are comfortable, fit well with no slipping (I do have quite big wrists, but my ankles are normal!) and - thankfully for this tomboy - are not garish pink in colour! During the tail-end of our unseasonably cold and wet spring, I wore them under my boots so I could even get some use out of them going up and down the stairs at work! They seem well-made - no leaks or lack of stickiness in the velcro straps so far - so all-in-all I'd say they are well-worth the money if you're looking for some entry-level ankle and/or wrist weights. Sometimes, for my arms (I do my arm exercises in front of the TV at home!) I even put both weights on at once for a greater resistance! So they are flexible enough to do quite a lot with them, and didn't cost the earth.Would definitely recommend.At the moment I have an exercise routine that involves a cross trainer and lifting dumbells (2 x 4.5 Kg). I wanted to increase the load without having to fork out for more dumbells.These certainly make a big difference, I could really feel it as soon as I put them on. They are fastened with velcro and will fit fairly small wrists (which mine are). It is possible to fasten them tight enough that they don't slip about. The material does absorb some sweat, but I dry them after use by laying them flat.As always, be careful that you don't strain anything (particularly your back) when using. I found that I really had to tense my stomach muscles when lifting weights with these on.Overall, a good product and recommended.I have used various ankle and wrist weights over the past for my regular walks (1+hr).So far these seem excellent, comfortable and have been used as ankle weights and haven't yet split. Iuse the sand-filled power gloves as well.Other ankle weights which were similar price or cheaper may have been as comforatble but one pair of ankle weights split open on the 3rd use = rather unpleasent having to remove loads of sand from my trainers and socks when I was in the middle of nowhere and it was raining :-)Based on the use so far I'd recommend these and will defiantely consider buy more.Trying some new in 2021 lockdown. Walk with these weights on is slightly harder than I expected, walk my first 4 km, got there-took them off on the way back, to much hard work!!Easy to put on and take off. I have seen somewhere, walking is better with some weights on you. That bit is true, back got vet sweaty. Do work so I am off out.Very pleased with these, tighten around ankles and wrists perfectly, I use them for walking around my ankles and around my wrists when running on treadmill. They would move a bit when running on either wrists or ankles as you can only tighten them so much otherwise you would cut of your blood supply. When I held one in my hand and thought, nothing to these maybe should have got heavier ones, I was wrong after you run a while with these you definitely feel it. Well made, it's Velcro fastening so hopefully will last.
