5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the expense, August 26, 2008

By

This review is from: 5 Lb Swim Ankle Weights (Misc.)

I have been doing serious water exercise (aerobic) for over 10 years, both shallow and deep water. I have used buoyancy cuffs in the past, without much effect. Deep water became less and less challenging, so I ended up just shallow water jogging, which satisfied the aerobic component of my workout, but my legs needed strengthening.

These really do the trick. I started with only 2 of the maximum 8 weights per leg, and could feel a big difference. My only complaint is that they are a little too large for my abnormally small (8") ankles. Wearing a pair of socks under them helps, and keeps them from chafing the skin. Fortunately, I am an older woman, past the point of caring if I look like a dork.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific addition to water workout, August 29, 2007

By 

Janie Austenlover "practically unknown writer" (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

These ankle weights for water exercise are comfortable and definitely add to the workout. An excellent feature is that the amount of weight you can carry is modular: there are four slots on each side of each ankle-band, and you can utilize either no weights, or 1, 2,3, or 4 in each side. Manufacturer recommends starting with none, then adding 1 at a time... Good insructions, simple to use, and I liked the construction.

5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS SWIMMING ADDITION, August 17, 2009

This review is from: 5 Lb Swim Ankle Weights (Misc.)

I've been a swimmer for decades. I added these ankle weights to everything I do in the water and now I can't imagine swimming without them. I was able to use them as packaged, full weights, right away (decades of swimming paying off). I use webbed gloves on my hands along with them. I've used these swimming the side stroke, breast stroke, crawl, underwater, swimming on my back, treading water doing leg lifts and even upright dancing in the shallow end to music. I use these in both deep and shallow water. I also do surface dives with them. I now feel strange swimming without them. I miss the resistance if I don't include these weights in my swim. If and when these give out, I will be buying a new set within hours. Two caveats: one, make sure these are snug on you as if they are loose they interfere with swimming; two, you must be a very strong swimmer to use these in deeper water. A weaker swimmer might panic with the added weight with disastrous results.
