Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights with Strap for Men, Women, and Kids - 1-10 lbs/Pair by Boveker

Connor: They’re great, and amazing for training, just remember to put on long socks while using them, the Velcro can scratch up your angle a ton.

Ross Binkley: I'm using these just to add some extra intensity for cardio workouts with VR games (e.g. Beat Saber.) The design on these doesn't allow them to hold their position on your forearms if you're moving your arms rapidly (which I obviously am for this use case.) These do work fine for my use case if I strap them to my actual wrists (where the larger diameter of my forearm and hand prevent them from being able to slide,) but they really don't work at all for this use case if I try to wear them higher on my forearms. As soon as I make a fast movement, these will just slide down my forearm to my wrist.

If you don't mind wearing these actually on your wrist or you're not making any fast arm movements while wearing them, these should be fine and they are reasonably comfortable. As long as I just wear them on my wrists, they work for my purposes (and do add significant intensity to fast arm movements.)

The only other issue I have with them is a much more minor one: It would be nice if the soft side of the velcro extended farther. Since I have to wear these all the way down on my wrists for them to not slide, I have to have them adjusted much narrower than if they were higher up...

Nicholas: I bought this product to use for working out with my Oculus Quest 2. It's perfect for The Climb, but I struggle in Fit-XR. I have them tightened to the maximum possible setting, but they still slip back and forth on my wrists when I am trying to punch. This is made all the more frustrating in that when they hit the back of my thumb it causes me to press a button which pauses the game! I am willing to pay more for a solution that slips less. I am thinking about gluing foam rubber on the inside. There are other brands which have a glove built in, but even at 4 lbs per cuff I feel like I could be handling much more weight.

K. Karrottop: I can't attest to how they affect excercise, as my personal situation has changed and right now I need to put them away for another day, when I can put them to proper use ...which is basically adding to the weight of the small dumbbells I use. (Indoors only, for my wrists only -- I'm not walking around with these, and you might do best to read up on that before you do so). But for what I was looking for, the do fit the bill. A bit confusing how to put them on for the first few times (no instructions at all in my box) -- but basically you make sure the brand name shows outward, and after you pull the strap thru the first loop, you pull it in the other direction to finish.

Mari: Love these; so glad I found them; I'm trying to regain some *strength after many illnesses over the last six years; being older and going through these illnesses, I have no *motivation for lifting free-weights so I decided to buy weights to wear that make me lift them with just everyday normal things I do (getting out of bed, fixing my meals, using restroom, etc.) I bought four with 2LB weights in each; I wear one on each ankle and one on each wrist; they fit and stay in place with *strong Velcro straps; I've been wearing them for 3/4 days now (taking them off only when I shower and taking off only the ones around my *wrists when driving, for *safety purposes); they are helping I can tell because of mild to moderate soreness; I plan to wear them like this for a month and see if I can move up to 3LBS each next month and then keep going up whenever I am able to until I can wear the ten pound weights all the time; I don't know if I'll be able to do that but that's the plan I am trying.
