Very durable and easy to put on
So, I use these as ankle weights when I am at work. They are super easy to put on and they actually stay on unlike a few others I have tried. I didn't think the 3 pound(1.5 pounds per ankle weights) would be enough to give my legs a good work out but I was wrong! It's a perfect weight for my leg work out! I also use them around my wrists when I go for a long walk and they are great! I've gotten to the point where I basically use them every day.

For the first year of use, I would have given these a 5 star rating. However, after a year of use, the velcro is fraying badly and turning onto itself so harder and harder to put on smoothly.

    Overall great product! i would def. buy again.
    They work great, soft around the ankles. Also it says on each weight how heavy it is which is important when you have several pairs of weights.

    Worth it
    So comfortable affordable and looks so nice, not even ashamed to wear them out to walk in or jog down my neighborhood. Great choice.

    Misleading pounds for eact unit or set
    Very misleading it says 3 lb..set or a 5 lb...set..I got a 1.5 lb. Each unit...that is for the 3lb set....I WANTED TO BE A 3LB EACH UNIT. NOW I HAVE TO RETURN THE 3LB SO IT COULD BE 2.5 LB EACH UNIT THAT WOULD EQUAL THE 5 LB SET.

    Perfect weight
    The first thing I like about these is they are a great starting weight for a beginner. At 2.5pbs they are so heavy it kills you to start wearing them regularly. The other nice thing is they are super easy to put on by yourself. The Velcro closure works very well and stays in place even when your moving around. I've even worn up and down our stairs several times with them on my ankles. If your confused when you first open them the part you need to pull on to use the Velcro is right next to the buckle. It's good heavy duty Velcro so you'll have to give it a firm tug. I am really happy with these and look forward to when I can move up to the next weight size.

    Great for a light workout!
    This is so cute and easy to use. If you can't something to give a little more spice to your work out this is it. When you get it take it out the box and let it unfold. There will be this folded black strap., go to where the strap bends and pull, it is velcro, Once you do that you take the weight and put it around your ankle or your wrist, wrap the strap around and loop it in the whole. The process is like a velcro shoe. I used these while I was doing a plank and leg lifts and I felt a difference. You could easily wrap these around your ankle and go for a walk! I enjoy these so much. Another. good thing the box is so small you can store it anywhere

    High Quality Weight Set
    These weights have excellent workmanship. They are made of great material and they are very high quality. I exercise most days and wearing these on my ankles pushed my heart rate up very quickly in my routine - thus in the same amount of time, my calories burned nearly doubled, due to the addition of the ankle weights. This also increased my muscle tone for my leg exercises because of the addition of the weight. These were wonderful fit for my ankles. They did not turn, nor move nor slip. They stayed in place perfectly, through leg lifts, jog in place, run in place, and knee lifts. These weights are also designed to go on your wrist. They did not fit my wrist at all, so I could not use them in that way - bummer. They were just too big for my wrists and they slipped down onto my hands and even off when a lot of arm movement during exercise. My final review is these are excellent to use to increase your exercise intensity.

    Great for a workout
    The Athletic Works 5 lb Pair Ankle & Wrist Weights are a great thing to use if you want to build muscle in your legs. I had problems getting them on but once I did they were great. I like that they are lightweight but heavy enough to help build muscle. The soft fabric makes them comfortable against your legs and ankles so yes these are fantastic to use during a workout.
