Fabulous--Switched from Dumbbells to These Oct 09, 2009
By carol irvin
"carol irvin"
I used the ankle version of these all summer long for swimming and they were great. No injury of any sort while using them. However I used dumbbells when I worked on my arms. Big mistake. Because after a summer of swimming every day for an hour or more, I had a rotator cuff problem in my shoulder. So I stopped using the dumbbells, bought these wrist weights and began swimming with them. They work great and now I swim with both the ankle and wrist weights and get tremendous resistance with my swimming, the only thing the swimming experience lacks if you swim without using equipment. I could feel the pain in my neck and along my spine when I used the water dumbbells but, like an idiot, I ignored it. I have noticed no pain when I use these wrist weights instead. One added plus: if you use webbed gloves, and I do, you can continue wearing them with these wrist weights.

 work well Aug 09, 2010
By Deborah L. Ludwig
They are pretty comfortable and easy to put on. The weights are snug, so it takes some effort to get them in/out, but I like that the weight is adjustable. I thought they were a little expensive, but so far I am happy with the purchase.
Great Work Out Mar 16, 2012
By Leanne D. Martin
This item is great for working out the arms - just don't wear them the same time as the ankle weights if you go into the deep end of the pool unless you want to drown!

Nice to use in the jacuzzi Sep 21, 2008
By Karri Garcia

I love how comfy these are. VERY adjustable. I also have the ankle weights. I do NOT use these for swimming. I use them in the jacuzzi because they hold me in place over the jets. The jets in our backyard jacuzzi were strong and I would float all over the place. Having the ankle weights and wrists weights on allows me to stay slightly anchored so I can enjoy the massaging jets without floating around. They are actually fairly lightweight under the water so it's very easily move around in them, but it is enough weight to keep you in place better. They are also an incentive to go ahead and do some leg lifts and arm lifts for exercize while I'm enjoying the jacuzzi. Very happy with this purchase. I dont have a pool, but I think they would be fabulous for doing pool aerobics! If you have very tiny ankles, buy the wrist weights for your ankles. The weights are easy to make lighter by taking out some of the slide-ins. I don't know why you would want to do that unless you were using them for aquatic-based physical therapy and needed very low weight. Either way, these are very versatile and comfortable.
