 Bulky and cumbersome Sep 14, 2007
By GymGoddess

I've been weight training for years and even do competitive stairclimbing. I bought these with the idea that I would use them to train for stairclimbing.
I'm not a small woman...5 feet 8 inches, 135 lbs, but these weights were almost impossible to keep on my ankles...they just don't seem to be made for an average woman's ankles.
I may pass these onto my husband who is 6 feet 2 and 220 lbs. I would not recommend these for an average sized woman.

 Heavy, Heavy, Heavy, but Adjustable Mar 23, 2007
By D. Buxman

While ten pounds on each wrist or ankle may not sound too extreme, any extended period of time with these weights on is going to fatigue just about anyone. Having said this, it should be noted that adjusting the amount of weight is a simple matter. Given the range of weight options, the overall appearance is somewhat large and bulky. If you are wearing these things, you really can't hide it. However, if you want to give a turbo shot to your daily walk or other activity, these things can't be beat.

Adjustable weights is great feature but hurts if worn snugly Jan 17, 2010
By E. Adams
The ankle weights were a Christmas present for my daughter. She likes being able to adjust the amount of weight. The one con is that she has to wear them loose because the sandbags are firm and hurt her ankle bone if she tightens the straps. The price was great, and Amazon's free shipping for Christmas delivery was the best!!!

 Disappointed May 02, 2009

I bought these with the idea of doing various exercises I had been doing at physical therapy. The bulkiness of the individual weights was not what I expected. The first time I used the weights, I had a bruise the size of an orange on the back of my leg.
I still use them, but wish I had different ones.

Nice Weights Mar 23, 2008
By Mr Pink
I use these as wrist weights while using a Nordic Track Ski Machine. For this purpose they are great. I took four neoprene soda can coolers and slit them down the side to use as inner padding, two on each wrist. Stacking a cotton wrist band for sweat absorption, can cooler, can cooler, then pull the wrist weight tight on each wrist and they fit nice and snug and don't move around at all. Took a few times to get the sequence right but now it's a snap. Not sure the material the product is made of will last a real long time but I'm happy with the product and the price is right, plus ten pounds on each arm for an hour will give you an awesome workout.

After using these great weights for a time I can offer some advice on handling. Be gentle with these. If you toss/drop them on the floor after you take them off you'll eventually rupture the plastic sand bags inside and leak sand out a little at a time. Still-- a very nice product.
