Valeo 10 LB adjustable weights October 29, 2009 Sauna Bought these to do my physical therapy exercises. Work fine and I like that they are adjustable. They are just annoying to take weights out of and put back in. They are also annoying to put on and get a strong grip if you have small ankles.
Love them! October 7, 2009 A. Berg I love these weights. I read some reviews saying that they are not good for small people, but I am 5'3" and 110lb and I can wear them on both my ankles or wrists just fine (it all depends which loop you put the strap through. The weights stay in place, and the velcro is strong enough to withstand quick movements. I would definitely recommend these!
Ankle / Wrist? I don't think so October 7, 2009 Kutang Kim (Albany, NY) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a cross country runner. In the midst of the season, I decided to get into 5:30 min a mile speed.
In order to do so, I decided on an ankle weight purchase that could help build both strength and stamina.
For my ankle, these are very nice.
---Comfort---
I do not know why people are saying that this is uncomfortable.
Material feels like that of a North Face vest. It feels nice and I feel great jogging with them although
I had to get used to the feeling of extra weight.
---Weight Adjustment---
Adjusting weight is little bit tedious but not as bad as some review points out.
Only thing that bothered me was the strong stickyness of the wrapping belt? which I had a hard time trying to open.
Weights were consisted of sand material, thus, pulling it out and putting it back wasn't that difficult to do.
HOWEVER, I must point out that when you are adjusting weight to 2~4 pounds, you must make sure you positioned it on your ankle so that
it feels balanced. Otherwise, it will feel unbalanced and will move during running in terrains.
---Wrist...---
This is not a wrist weight. You must buy a wrist weight if you want to use it for your wrist.
You could wrap around your wrist, but it will feel awkward.
Also, you cannot have five pound on your wrist because unless your arm is big as body builders, it will not fit in your wrist.
I have a decent sized forearm and four lbs was the maximum weight I was able to tightly fit on my wrist section of forearm.
---Overall Conclusion---
This is a good buy and probably one of the best bang for the buck weights.
Quality feels durable and I felt like I would purchase this product again.
However, I gave it a four star due to poor description (each weight is 5lbs/pair not 10lbs/pair)
and poor usability as a wrist weight.
For ankle weights, this is perfect for any type of trainers, athlete, or regular exercising.
Not comfortable at all September 16, 2009 Mor and Tookie (NY) The velcro on them is good and they stay securely on your wrists or ankles BUT they are very uncomfortable to wear, and even when fastened as tight as possible, they still slip off of my wrists.
I read the other reviews before buying this product and saw that many people said they were too large but I figured it wouldn't apply to me since i have fairly large hands, for a woman. sadly, i too, am affected.
Bottom line is that I would not have bought these if i had the chance to try them on first.
Just what I wanted September 12, 2009 kindergarten teacher 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The weights arrived quickly. It would be helpful if the description said each weight is 5 lbs to eliminate any confusion about whether each weight is 10 lbs for those of us who don't shop for this type of item often. Very useful and easy to use.
