Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights

I was very pleased with my purchase of adjustable ankle/wrist weights. They came in a timely fashion and will be perfect for my rehab.

Very good product!!!

I used it often for my students and it works perfect and they get the perfect workout!!!! Highly recommended!!!

Clunky things

2008-05-22
These are heavy, clunky things that are hard to put on. The velcroe strips make this ripping noise, and it's really awkward to make them snug and secure on your ankles. I didn't like them from day one and ended up giving them away. Forget this product.

Does the Job

I purchased these Valeo weights because I was very weak after spending 3 months in the hospital & 1 month in rehab. I use them on my legs & do a variety of leg workouts to strengthen my leg muscles. I like that you can remove some of the weight simply by opening a velcro closure & pulling it out but I find them a bit awkward to put on but once on they are not going anywhere! I recommend these to anyone who are looking to improve muscle tone in either their arms or legs.

Not Easily Adjustable

2008-04-07
As other reviewers have noted, the cheap plastic, made in China, SAND filled bags are difficult to put back into the pockets, making the weights less "adjustable" than they should be. It took me about 5 minutes to squish 2 bags back into the slots, all the while fearful that the bags would burst sending sand everywhere. This greatly interrupted my workout. They are also made to fit around fairly large ankles, so they may be loose on petite women. When they break (probably soon), I will look to see if they still make the metal ones I remember my mom having in the 80s.

just unfortunate you can't run or jump with it since it doesn't stay in place. but if you don't mind it moving around as much as you, then more power to ya. great for wearing around the house all day.

A little awkward on the wrists, but very useful weights.

These are a pair of 5 pound weights, for a total of 10 pounds. The advertising for this product may not be clear, so i thought i'd say that from the start.

I use these as wrist weights, because i have ten pound ankle weights already. As wrist weights, they are a little awkward to wear. Though they are advertised as "Ankle/Wrist" weights, they are clearly designed with the ankles in mind. I am 5'10", with 7.5 inch wrists (if you put a tape measure around my wrists), and it is difficult for me to keep the weights from moving around or slipping down to my forearms.

That said, the slipping does not take away from my weighted workouts (i use them for boxing). If you are worried about the weights moving around on your wrists, i would say avoid these weights, and buy weights with a thumb hole for better stability. Otherwise, they are among the best for their price, and you will enjoy your workouts with them.

good product

no complaints except the title says 10 lbs, thats both weights together, not ten pounds each!

good for walking

Really, this is a great product for walking, or cleaning, or just being around the house...But don't run with these since they don't stay in place. I like mine, and use them in spurts.
