I've used the bells for about 15 years now, having gotten sick of always being sore after weight training. There is no piece of equipment that compares to them. I have taught dozens of fellow gym members the proper use (that is, how to pour all one's effort into an overwhelming total body workout for range of motion, cardio, coordination and POWER). Any person of any fitness level can use them: I have taught a senior who rehabbed her arthirtis in 2 months and regained full motion and strength, a golfer who added 20 yards to his stroke, and have recently taught two powerlifters and one female bodybuilder who could not believe how theiy were tested by this simple product. In 2009 I met a man at the pool who weighed 370 pounds and could barely walk: in 9 months he was down 40 pounds on the scale and had at least 25 pounds more muscle and bone mass. Not only could he walk, he could RUN.

Do you want to get in serious shape? Buy them, find a pool, rent a Tai Chi video, and do those moves in the water. Hold them under the water and do cross-country skiing, moving thru the pool or remaining staionary. Hold them together and do cable-rows. Keep a good posture from your shoulders to your hips, extend your legs into a long stretch, and PUSH. Don't bend over, LUNGE! (WHEN DOING TURNING MOVES, STAY ON THE BALLS OF YOUR FEET SO THEY CAN PIVOT WITH YOU. IF YOU HAVE YOUR FEET FLAT YOU WILL TWIST YOUR KNEES) CAVEAT: the enclosed instructions do not do them justice, and advise that you do not do back-twisting moves. This surely is to avoid liability. The whole advantage is that you can, with proper form, push the power in your legs, hips and core, up through your trunk and out through your shoulders into a workout that can have you doing hundreds of reps per hour with all major muscle groups at once. You cannot imagine the strength this produces, if only you are willing to push yourself. GET THEM NOW.

I saw these at a spa, the instructor was teaching a water class. I asked her about them after the class she said they could not
be ordered anywhere, anymore. I checked out Amazon and there they were. They are a great workout in the water for you arms. I use
them everytime I am in the pool. They are sturdy and will last forever..........go ahead and buy them, you won't regret it, but
you HAVE to use them to make them work!

17 years ago my boyfriend (who is now my husband) introduced me to this work out system. I lost 26 pounds in just a few months by doing a 30-40 min work out in the pool five days a week. 17 years later, we still use the same bells we bought back then and have since bought a second pair (both with leg pairs) so we can work out together in the pool. I rotate my work outs between a jog, walk, do elliptical, and swim laps . . . and on the days I swim, I top it off with a good 2-3 sets of Hydro-Tone arm/ab work outs. It's unbelievable for toning my arms and my abs. I've now lost 70 pounds total and the compliments I've received on how great my arms and abs look at age 46 makes me feel wonderful! And they still hold up after all these years!

I was using the cheapie foam weights and they did a great job but wore out after one summer. I decided to purchase these as a replacement and I can tell you you will be impressed after you get use to them. I found them slightly cumbersome to use in the beginning but quickly adjusted to the much bigger size compared with the foam. Also word of warning do not over extend your arms when using them the resistance is very strong and you will hurt yourself. If you are serious about an effective water workout these are well worth the money.

So far excellent in helping my range of motion. Very easy and relaxing to work out with! A bit pricey but worth it!

I got these for my these for my water aerobics class. I really like them butt, I am afraid of hurting someone in my class. I really think they are too big and bulky to have in a class with other people. Annette
