Champion Sports Soft Adjustable Ankle and Wrist Weights

I bought these to walk and exercise in and they work well for that use. These will not work for running. I use them for leg lifts and high kicks, but they will shift throughout the workout. The Velcro strap may rub your skin, just a head’s up. If you’ve wanted a pai and think these are a good deal, I would suggest getting them.

Most non-adjustable weights are packs of sand separated into different "compartments" by lines of stitching. This is the third brand I've tried, and both of the others were lower-weight and packed lightly enough that each compartment was a hard bulge. They might as well have been solid instead of sand, and the way they pressed against my wrist or ankle was uncomfortable. These, on the other hand, are more loosely filled and conform to my ankles comfortably.I'd give them five stars, except that the 10 lb weights have only one strap each. That's not really enough given their size and weight. Oh, they stay on well enough, but they tend to fold up around the strap. I suspect that they'd stay put better and maybe last longer if they had two straps. But since these are both the heaviest and most comfortable sand weights I've found, I'm not complaining too hard.

nice 5lb(2.5 each) ankle weights. you can really feel the difference after walks. the quality seems very good so far. the only downside, which is completely due to me and not the weights, is that my extremely skinny, bony ankles hurt quite a bit with them on. My ankles developed light bruises after one 30 minute walk, but I am quite sure that with a couple of the Velcro wrap around ankle-supports just to act as a buffer, these will be perfect. If you have normal ankles and/or thicker skin/higher pain tolerance it probably won't be a problem. Thick socks probably would also do the trick, but I don't want to go on walks when it's getting warmer out with thick wool socks on. I am also convinced that these weights are a better option than the kinds with removable hard weighted plates. just thinking about those rubbing against my ankles, hurts.

...the weight given for a pair should be divided in half. The 2 pound weights are 1 lb. each; the 5 lb are 2 1/2 lb each and the 10 lb are 5 lb apiece. Otherwise they are very, very nice. They are extremely comfortable with no annoying scratchy bits. If the description was clearer - a widespread problem - I would have given this 5 stars. I thought I was getting the given poundage per individual weight, not for the pair. This is the kind of thing that people may think is obvious but it is not so to everyone who does not like to assume. I don't see what the problem is in giving a clearer description especially for a good product.

When I can't make the time for the gym or between workout days I bring out these ankle weights. I have the heavy set that's 5 pounds each (10 pounds total) and they have been vital to my lower body exercises. Since they are adjustable they can fit perfectly and snuggly everytime without fail. I wear either longer socks or leggings and pull that strap tight to prevent any moment while they are on. I tend to do a series of leg and glute exercises with these and the 5 pound weights end up feeling like 20 pounds by the time I'm done!These are perfect if you're looking to do home workouts or add to your regular rutine. Your booty and legs will thank you!

I bought a set of the blue, red & green ones from a different company - they are okay but I found that I needed more weight on my legs, 5 lbs each instead of 2.5 each. These work really well. I do walk around in them. I even go outside and down the road to get the mail with them on, taking the risk of someone thinking that I'm escaping from house-arrest or something. But I leave them on almost all day to tone my legs without thinking about it.I am very small, 5'tall, and the straps work great. The weights are tight enough, I can even adjust them so that they would be "too-tight", so when I set them just right, they are truly secure. There's plenty of extra strap for larger people too. So glad I found these!

They're filled with a granular substance, so they're soft, flexible, and much more comfortable than the weights with the metal rods in them, but that's not to say these are perfect. I wear them every morning for an hour walk,and need to replace them at least once a year when the surface fabric wears down at the back and the fine granular filling begins to leak. It's inconvenient to order another pair, but such a minor inconvenience I'd still give them five stars.

The Champion Sports Soft Ankle Weights are just 'okay'. I have never used any other ankle weights so I don't have anything to compare them to, but I would have liked them to be softer and more comfortable - I am very excited to take them off by the end of my workout! They are incredibly stiff, not soft and rub on my ankles. Also they aren't filled equally either - one of the ankle weights I received is very full and very stiff (making it hard to strap on) and the other is filled less and is too loose on my leg which causes it to slide around. If you are looking for cheap ankle weights that will get the job done - these are probably for you. I think next time I will invest a little more money and get better quality ones.

fit good

It's nice to finally find a set of heavier training weights that are also black/dark. I suspect they'll eventually wear out and leak sand like an old set I had years ago unfortunately.

would not fit around my ankles

Easy to wrap around your ankles and good Velcro on them

Good value for price!
