 These are great. August 10, 2010

I like these a lot, they are comfortable and they are easy to work with. My only issue with them is that I'm small and sometimes they slide around on my ankles and arms, even when I pull it as tight as I can. If you have a small frame, you might want to try them over some pants or a shirt or something wrapped around your arms so they don't move. I don't blame the product for that, though, I'm just a very small person.

I have a hard time with them turning and the metal on the bracket digging into my ankle but it's probably just me.

The ankle weights are helpful. Some confusion about the weights of each unit. We thought each bag was one pound, but it is 1/2 pound, which actually suited us better. The velcro is very hard to release, which would be needed if used for walking or running. It is a little frustrating when only used for lifting and old fingers find removing difficult. Overall we are satisfied and they are effective.
 Works Well But Not Enough Weight May 24, 2010

The two 2-1/2 lb ankle weights are good for arms, but too light for ankle weights. I would recommend the two 5 lbs weights instead. Please note that when you buy the 5 lb weight, your buying a set of 2x2.5 lbs weights. These are bulky items and wouldn't recommend them for women. The velcro straps are heavy duty and I don't think they'll fall apart.
Great quality! March 29, 2010

These ankle weights are 2.5lbs per leg. Not 5lb per leg. I loved using these the first week. After that I got too used to them and it was like wearing nothing at all. So I started wearing the 10lb ankle weights, which is 5lb per leg.
I bought these because I wanted to add a little more into my routine, but don't really have the time to add. I can wear these all day long and I am in the hopes that it helps some. I walk alot, especially at work, so I figured these my give me a little more oomph as opposed to doing nothing extra at all. The first few days that I wore them I felt a slight soreness in the backs of my thighs.. the kind of feeling you get after working out. I thought they were supposed to work on your calves, but I didn't feel anything there. That is ok in my book though because my thighs are what needs the most work lol! They fit me comfortably. I literally wore them all day long. From the time I woke up, until I went to bed and I never had any soreness or irritation from the weights themselves. I am not sure how other people are wearing them that they are uncomfortable or cause pain. I didn't experience any of that. The velcro is strong and stay put. They don't pop open or get caught on anything either. They seem very well made. I don't expect them to fall apart or "wear out"
I have bumped up to the 5lb per leg ankle weights (made by this same brand) and they fit great/comfortably too.
