I received the wrist weights a few weeks ago, so I have had several opportunities to try them out. I have used them in my turbo kickboxing class, running outside and on the gauntlet (stair climber). The best attributes of these wrist weights are the 1) the thumb holes which help to keep them tight around your wrists and able to have good control of the weights, 2) soft - the wrist weights are filled with sand or some other substance that is granular. This distributes the weight nicely around your wrists which is more comfortable and safer for use in classes. you can really hurt someone if you were to accidentally hit them with even a one pound solid weight, especially if you are using them for any type of cardio class. 3) I can wrap them around my ankles and also use them as leg weights as well. 4) the amount of weight (1 lb each wrist band) is perfect for what I use them for, anyway. Anything more would strain your shoulders and elbows during a fast paced cardio class like kick boxing. 5) they are easy to put on, take off and adjust during a work out
I use these weights to increase the intensity of my cardio work outs.
They wrist bands do slip a bit during workouts, but I find that when I tighten them too tight, that is even more uncomfortable. The thumb holes while completely necessary, can be slightly uncomfortable and take a bit of getting used to (kind of like new flip flops between your toes). I am not marking my review down for this because there really is no way to have 1 lb weights around your wrists and feel perfectly comfortable.
In my opinion this is the best option for wrist band weights out there and I use them all the time!
I wear these all the time when boogie bouncing on a trampette. They are just right for my wrists, don't move atall and give me extra strength in my arms.
5つ星のうち3.0wear them on the opp hands so Velcro faces outwards (which makes for poor fit), or have to run with my wrists ...

Comfortable/Secure fit, but the rough side of the Velcro is on the wrong side. After running short distances (3-5mi) a few times they have destroyed the sides/belly of a sweatshirt that I run in so now I either tape them, wear them on the opp hands so Velcro faces outwards (which makes for poor fit), or have to run with my wrists out slightly, which may be a better workout anyways... idk.
I bought these for my wife who has stick insect wrists. They are on the smaller side and fit her well, but I was surprised to find they would also fit my average male wrist - although this makes them just a little tight for my liking. Some people might like a tighter wrap in which case they will like these weights. Only had them a couple of weeks, but the material and construction quality seems excellent, and they are comfortable around the thumb. They are a little more expensive than other options available, but I think they are worth it and expect a long time of happy use.
