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.

No, not to these weights. In the water the fully loaded anklets are too much for me. If I were you I'd try them first before looking for more. You might be surprised.

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

Just go with your own fitness level. I generally use a medium one but on some of the moves a stronger one offers more resistance. However, on some of the moves you really have to stretch the band to the limit and the medium works great !!!! I tried with a stronger one but it was too tight and required too much effort. I couldn't get the stronger one to stretch enough to effectively perform the move.

No you don't need to use them. We have had our scale for over 2 years and have never used them. The purpose of the weights, my understanding anyway, is for weighing objects over 350 lbs. They are used for multipliers to go beyond the 350 limit of the scales. Hope this helps

Yes, you can change the resistance. The resistance bands come in different weights (I believe it starts at 2.5 lbs and each band is graded from Level 4 to Level 9. Each level represents an increase in resistance of approximately 2.5 pounds compared to the previous level. Level 5 is standard equipment that came with my chair. I purchased the other levels all in one package). I love this chair! It has helped tremendously with my flexibility and stretching. I am not stiff all the time like I used to be (especially after sitting for long periods of time at work). I actually take a band to work with me and use my feet to hold it down. I work alone on third shift as a helpdesk rep. I highly recommend this chair!

You choose the weight when you buy it. The weight of the band is what it is. It does not change and is not adjustable.

They are good as wrist weights if you don't have small wrists. I have small wrists and they slip right off if I am not careful, but it I still use them anyways.

No weights. You gotta have your own weights and if u have olympic weights u gotta buy converters for them. Hope that helps.

I used Gold's Gym ones I got at Wal-Mart or Target. They aren't the same as the ones they use in the video, but as long a you have a band I don't think it makes a big difference.

Yes. The way the rack is designed, it has areas that you can attach some sort of weights on it. I'd suggest going to You Tube and put in "adding weights to The Rack". There are several videos on there that show people who have added weights to The Rack. Hopefully this helps!

No you do not. You can either use it as just a scale or create a new account with Fitbit and have it auto load your weight into your account for tracking purposes.If you are considering it, the Fitbit Flex is awesome!!!

No dumbbells! It comes with a workout band that in all honesty, is a lot better because it's "adjustable", meaning you can fix the tension during your workout and still get a great workout. Would not suggest dumbbells at all.

not weight but resistance...you will see when you get your own pair...wonder why it took you so long to find them, use them! Strengths muscles for sure, there is a difference when I don't use them, I feel I get twice the workout with the foot gear. I also bought 'floaties' for even extra resistance...great non-impact exercise!

You can use this step with or without weights. If you are in good shape I would use 5 to 10 pd weights. If you are just beginning you might want to wait and work your way up to weights.

Yes, you can use either. There is a plastic sleeve that slides on if you are going to use olympic weights.

I don't think I'd do it. All I have ever done with mine is to pull the weights out of the pockets and just hose the thing off. The reason to pull the weights out is that they are metal shot inside the pouches and you might start them rusting/corroding.
