Soft Hand Weights Set with Reflective Straps Walking Dumbbell | Anti-Slip Reflective Strap, Jogging & Running, Physical Therapy, Aerobics, Seniors, Indoor & Outdoor, Portable

It is not easy to find 1.5 lb and 0.75 lb weights, so we were thrilled when we finally found this high quality set! Easy to grip, soft to touch. They are perfect for anyone who has injuries or chronic health conditions and are looking to build strength. The weights are shaped well so that they fit snugly in your hand. They mold to your hand and provide a stable, comfy grip. We use them daily. In fact, after using them for several weeks, we ordered another set. One nice feature is that the weights are assigned a color based on how much they weigh. For instance, the 0.75 lbs is orange and the 1.5 is grey. One very minor suggestion: we would have appreciated it if the weight amount was also written on the sides of the dumbbell (in addition to the hand strap), so that when the weights are stacked, you can easily tell them apart. We noticed that some other weights have the amount of lbs written on the side but not on the strap — having both would be great. We used a sticker to write in the weight and it really helps.

I am using the 1/2# weights for my Zumba/Toning Class. I am quite strong but due to a permanent neck injury, I found I was getting headaches later in the day when using the 1# Zumba weights due to our fast changes in movements as well as the portions of the exercise that have the weights out in front of me, it is such a drag on my neck muscles. Therefore, using just 1/2 # still gives me the extra tension of some weight and along with proper alignment and concentration on doing the exercise properly, I feel that I still get a good workout. I am a fit 71 year old who is a gardener so still get lots of weight bearing exercise carrying bags of soil, planting shrubs, carrying my dog, and so on.

Comfortable to hold, you can feel the effects. 2 pound weights are more effective than you might expect

I bought these for my mom to use for her therapy. They worked great.

Very soft. Easy to hold.

These .5 lb weights work great! I’m starting off really light. But these type of soft weight seem to work better for seniors. I may even tuck these into jacket pockets when I do my walks, to build up bone density. I will next order 1.75 lb weights.

These just barely fit over my feet to use as ankle weights. I don't' like the strap kind that are too fussy to put on and off, wanted a slip on style. I wear them all day, for just a bit more effort in walking and stairs for stronger legs and burn a few extra calories and sleep better. Starting with half pound on each leg. Will move up to 3/4 pound when these get too easy.

Easy to hold and great for my Zumba class. 2lbs was enough for me to have to catch my breath
