Could they be used for Zumba Toning? My gym does not have hand 2-3 weights available/on hand.

These gloves should be fine. They fit snug so they do not move when doing Zumba or any other aerobic activity. The weighted part of the gloves is on top of the hands so you can still do push ups, hold other weights, etc. I am very happy with the gloves and I use them for walking/step workouts regularly.

I use it for regular zumba as an extra weight for myself. For the actual toning zumba classes I attend, I use 3 pound dumb bells.

They are very easy to use once you get the hang of it. Enjoy & have a kick-ass workout! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX-Daef9fSQ

Yes, you can use weights instead of bands. One of the young women assisting the exercise guru uses/demonstrates weights instead of bands for this very purpose.

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

They'll work with any kind of dumbbell as long as the handles are round. The hooks cradle the dumbbell handles, not the dumbbell itself. Sounds like a nonsense answer but that's the best way to put it. My only concern while using them was putting them back on the bar. I found the view somewhat obstructed so I had to kind of fell my way back to the bar. It depended on how wide of a grip I was using on the dumbbell press. Overall, they're worth the money. Good luck with them.

I would not use for free weights you sink to far into them like deadlifts and stuff , I would use just to put under cardio or free weight machines

I suppose you could try but you would ruin them pretty quickly. They aren't designed for moisture beyond sweat in a workout.

I've only used for tennis and doing exercises with 1-5 lb weights in ladies exercise class so I have no idea if it would be adequate for the training you describe. I did mention in my review that I think the support would be significantly increased if these were available in a longer length. 4-5 inches longer would be great. I do like that the palm is left uncovered for gripping.

These are ankle weights--of very high quality--but sized for ankles. Unless your wrist circumference is very large the ends of the weights would likely overlap. I don't know how this would feel; it would look a little strange. On balance I think you'd do better to get a good pair of wrist weights.

Yes, absolutely. I use them for 30-minute kickboxing workouts which require a somewhat tight fist so they would defintely work for making a loose fist for jogging.

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)

I don't think you need big hands. my hands are average size and can use these. I recommend starting simple with dumbbells and then when your strength increases use the barbell. using the barbell first increases the chance of losing your balance. hope I could help

I had ordered these and my therapist tried to get them tighter because my wrists also small and we could not. If not tight enough they kept slidding. If you are just going to use them as weights to strength the arms they are ok, but if you are wearing them for a workout ass running an such, I would say no.

I am a medium-built woman and I found it too easy. They don't have much resistance at all. As pointed out by another person, they are not marked, there is no scale mentioned. And I suspect they will loosen up too after some use. I returned the pair I bought.I guess, it depends on what you are looking for - something simple for mild exercise of your hands, or something 'tighter' for a good exercise.

In my opinion they would work fine. I have used them for every bag in my gym. Jim

The bar is too thin, so the fat gripz won't be gripping tight the bar. You can still somehow use them, but it's far from ideal.

Yes, they made a huge difference in toning my arms so far. I do at least 25 count backwards and forward since I am a beginner. Combined with 4 to 5 pounds weight training and mostly push ups and tricep dips � love it!
