TheraBand Ankle Weights, Comfort Fit Wrist & Ankle Cuff Weight Set, Adjustable Walking Weights for Cardio, Home Workout, Ankle Strengthening & Physical Therapy, Blue, 2.5 lb. Each, Set of 2, 5 Pounds

These are very quality, they look like they will hold up for a long time to come. Just know that the weight they show is the total, so if it says 3 lbs then you are getting (2) 1.5 lbs wrist weight, or if it says 5 lbs then you are getting (2) 2.5 lbs weights.

I like the concept, my only complaint is that the velcro is not adjustable for smaller wrists. I am an average sized woman 5'6 136 lbs, but I have smaller wrists. Thees cuffs would work okay for my ankles, but I don't use them for my ankles, only my wrists. Pulling them as tight as I can, leaves too much space, and they flop around on my wrists. I don't know a solution for that adjustment problem. If someone has an idea, please share.(Added 7/15/2017) I solved the problem of the cuffs being to loose on my wrists by buying stretchy wrist wraps that I put on first. Then I put on the Thera-Bands on top of the wrist wraps. Now they stay in place. So, if anyone else has the problem of the cuffs to loose on their wrists. The stretchy bands are an option.I also want to mention that I have had these cuffs for a couple of years and use them almost daily. They have held up well with only minor wear and tear. Nothing ever leaks from them, as some people were concerned about. I use them only on my wrists, and I have noticed improvement in my arms' muscle tone.I fractured my left arm about 5 years ago. I was not able to get surgery done right away because it was in the midst of a holiday season. I lost a lot of muscle tone in my left arm having it wrapped for several weeks with little movement. My muscles atrophied quickly. Then there was the surgery and weeks more that I was not able to use that arm.it was difficult for be to not be able to hit tennis balls with the force I was used to.. But using these cuffs has helped those atrophied muscles become strong again.

This is my first wrist weight set. I bought the 5-lb set, complete with 2 2.5-lb wrist cuff weights. They were a lot bigger/bulkier than I had anticipated, but I guess that's where they get the weight. The inner lining is made of a somewhat soft terry cloth - not cashmere, but nothing to scoff at. The velcro strap was long and adjustable, but because the cuff itself is large, it will only tighten to a certain extent. I by no means have delicate, feminine wrists, hence the need to work out, but even when tightened until it would tighten no more, it would still slide up and down a little. With my arms hanging by my side, it was no problem. There was some pressure due to them being weights, but nothing uncomfortable. I also liked how they didn't have removable sand bags so no fear of things sliding out and bruising poor unsuspecting toes.However, I was using these for the Wii Active and though there is some resistance training with measured moves, there are other more intense workouts like boxing. With the intensity from trying to hit every target, the cuff would knock back and forth. The terry cloth softened the blows but towards the end, there was some slight redness and irritated-looking skin. If the workout was twice as long, perhaps even the beginnings of a bruise. I had purchased this to replace the torn resistance band that came with the game and I thought it could also have other uses, so I wouldn't have to drag around the resistance band (since having weird, heavy pillows on my wrist are much more portable).All in all, I'm still fairly satisfactory with this, but I would use it more for things like walking, stretches, or even housework to help tone the arms. With the Wii, perhaps I may try it as ankle weights or I would pick and choose which activities it would work best with.

These are a good weight. I'm 5'3" and about 125 lbs and they won't hardly tighten down all the way around my ankles. Sometimes when exercising, they slip around, which is really annoying. After about a year of only moderate use, the threads started breaking on the part where the sand is and instead of staying where it's supposed to and keeping the size of the band uniform, it all clumps up into a big ball around one area. It only happened to one of them, and it still works, but makes that one fit even less accurately.

Let me start by saying that these are very well made. I have gone through a number of weights that have torn and sand goes everywhere and I end up throwing them out or I get them home, try them out and they are so uncomfortable I cannot even use them and end up returning them. These are the best I have ever purchased and am thinking about purchasing the next weight level as well. I have had these for quite a few months and have used them a great deal. I have used them primarily on my ankles and they have held up beautifully to brisk walking, biking, Pilates, yoga and aerobics.The only draw back is that if you are wearing them with no socks or very low ankle socks, the Velcro strap can dig into your skin which is quite uncomfortable and can leave a mark (never broke the skin but felt like it got close) I tried the strap in the front and the back and found I had less issues with it in the front. I ended up trying the strap on the inside of my ankle (had to wrap it relatively tight to prevent it moving but it was not uncomfortable) and it is perfect! It rarely moves from that spot. If I was only going to wear them with socks then I would have given them 5 stars.

I wore these every day at work (rope access) until they began to fall apart... which was from external abuse on the sand bad material and it all became one lump. took about 4 months. Worth the investment for what I got out of it...

The Theraband weights are quite convenient to use.

Fits nicely around my ankles and wrist hood for walks and everything
