HEALTHYMODELLIFE Ankle Weights Set by Healthy Model Life - 1lb, 2lb, 5lb and 8lb Sets - As Worn by Victoria Secret Angels - Used in Top Gyms in New York

Return to what works! Perfect.(I am an active 60+ y/o male. I don't care that these were advertised for women.)1. I had soft ankle weights like this (brand unknown, though they were gray with orange trim). They were super and were easily more comfortable than my 'removable lead slug' style(that I had many years ago-> tough on the ankles when tight).2. When they wore out and left bb's in my sneakers, I opted for soft with a 'nylon strap around the middle', still 'soft'. There are many of that style and they are all a FAIL according to me. The velcro strap is hard to thread through the metal loop while on your feet as the upper weight area flops over the strap. The soft weight upper half rolls over the mid strap during exercise, so just finding the end of the velcro strap after exercise is a horrible chore when you're beat. This common style has nothing to recommend it to me. Oh...and the strap needs to be tight to prevent weight 'flapping' in use, thus the strap hurts your ankles.3. After MUCH searching I stumbled on these from STRONGER. Perfect, just like my old weights. One big tab to put on, one big tab to rip off to open, and the weight is evenly distributed longitudinally around your sneaker and your ankle. There is no identifiable single pressure point.Finally..Great Product. Superior in all ways.Reliability: TBD. I only have them one seek. If the velcro is not aggressive enough for long term use, I will report.

As a first time ankle weight user, I realized that these were going to be too heavy to wear while going on a walk/run, but I love to wear them around the house doing normal household chores-my legs are sore every time I use them! The velcro is strong and I've had no problem with them staying on (and I have worked up quite the sweat wearing these!)

I'm a 4'11" petite woman with child-size wrists and ankles so it's difficult to find gear that fits properly. I bought the 5lbs set and 2lbs set to use for both ankles and wrists. They wrap around and stay put without scraping my skin. The material is fantastic even while I'm drenched in sweat they stay in place on my tiny wrists and ankles. I've had several great workouts and my husband is able to use them as well. They are durable and comfortable and I highly recommend!

For YEARS I have searched for ankle weights that are comfortable and ones that do not loosen, and ultimately drag on the ground when I walk. I've used these Stronger Gym Gear weights for a week, briskly walking an average of six miles a day. Therefore I feel I can offer an informed evaluation based on my use.I am happy to report there have been zero negative issues with them. I LOVE these ankle weights and without hesitation, recommend them.All of that said, I surely wish the company would design and offer a set of these identical ankle weights that are a bit heavier, i.e., either 7.5lbs or 10lbs.Don't hesitate to buy these. Finally a product that does what it advertises...how wonderful.

These are cool. I have a low impact glider which has zero resistance so i needed a little extra challenge. The ankle weights offer that additional challenge on the machine, but I do have a hard time just walking around with them. It's not that they are too heavy, but rather they are bigger and more cumbersome and so hurt a little for walking. Maybe put them over socks or sweats. Other than that caution, they are well made and the Velcro holds well. I'd recommend them to a friend who wanted more of a challenge than the 2 or 3 lb weights.

These ankle weights are filled with sand or something like sand and when they are worn, the material inside all runs to the bottom. I have to wear these upside down sometimes to make the filling drop the other way. There's no way I could have known this without wearing them, but then I couldn't return them. On the outside of these in large lettering is "Healthy Model Life" in pink and white, which is not something I want written on anything I wear. As a female, having that written on ankle weights isn't that bad, but a male would not want to purchase these. I do not recommend this product.

I love these ladies ankle weights! I never knew they made these just for women. I had been using men's ankle weights for years. They were so bulky and heavy. Not to mention, ugly! These things are so comfortable wrapped around my ankles. In fact, I keep forgetting I still have them on when I am ready to switch to another part of my workout that doesn't require me to wear them. I have to pause my tape to remove them. That's all good with me! It's a wonderful reminder of just how comfortable they are on me. They are very soft and wrapp around my ankles quickly when I am switching to a part of my aerobics that requires them. They remove just as quickly. I was afraid they would be too bulky. But I was wrong. I'm so glad I descided to get these.

Update: the fabric is much cheaper than I anticipated. When you wear them on your ankles, if the fabric rubs even just once per workout, little lint balls start forming where the fabric rubbed. Tears form near the seams and the weights fall out. Mine lasted 4 months with use 4x a week and one has completely fallen apart since. These were expensive so it was a total waste of money. Not usable on the ankles or anywhere with potential friction.Love these! Only problem is the fabric is sensitive and a bit cheap for the price, if you wear them on your ankles the material will wear thin and accumulate little lint balls. These are comfier than some of the other weights I purchased though, but definitely cheaper materials.
