can anyone please tell me the measurement of the weights, like how big around, a friend that has rather large ankles if they could wear them, thanks!

I set the ankle weights to the largest fitting and measured it at 23". Hope that helps

The circumference is about 14 1/4" with the ability to expand a few inches because of the velcro strap.

Each weighs 5 lbs and is extremely painful to wrap around the ankles, at least for me it was. I just threw it away, simple!

hello, I am also a small size woman, 104 lbs., with small ankles. I wear the band-weights on top of my exercise socks and cuff pants, for comfort as well as to minimize any rubbing on my ankles. The adjustable ankle Velcro is fine to wrap around. So far I am almost to the top of the weights and I have not had any problems. You should however, start with a low weight and gradually adjust it up, as you gain strength while walking. Try as much as possible, not to change the stride or do any unfamiliar twists on your ankles. This will minimize or eliminate any muscle /tendon pain. Slow weights/speed increases as you walk is always better. Best wishes, Carmen Sofia hello, I am also a small size woman, 104 lbs., with small ankles.

It will fit the average Male, and will go down to fit an average female. We do not use these with people who are excessively large around the ankles. Anyone more than 100 lbs over ideal weight would use something else.

For a man these would be easy to wear around neck after awhile....for a woman I believe they would be a little too heavy after awhile.....I tried to weigh them on my scales but they wouldn't register. My daughter loves them! Hope this helped you.

Judy,I bought really small ones at a sport store, and because I have arthritis and my ankles swell twice there size I bought these and they have always been plenty long enough with strap left over. I think you will be satisfied with them. Florence

I don't find them too big. I measured them just now. They are 3/4 of an inch in length and 1/4 of and inch thick. If you really want to try them, you will figure a way to get them down.

I just bit the bullet and purchased two new 20 lb all pro adjustable ankle weights. I used my previous pair (nearly every other day) for 15 years until I became too frustrated to deal with my worn-out cuffs. Obviously the actual 1 lb weights did not wear out, but I wasn't able to purchase replacement cuffs. If you can figure out how to get replacement cuffs then you are the man, but I think you will end up buying a new set like I did. Shipping is now free compared to 6 years ago when I first wanted to replace the weights. Keep that in mind as a consolation*

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

My wrists are also 6" around. They do slide a little with active wrist movement. It may be best to get the lighter ones, which I think are smaller. I use mine on my ankles. They are so comfortable, the others I have hurt to wear very long, but not these.

You're right, Liz. It TALKS about the other choices, but only ALLOWS you to choose the one-pound weights! That IS a problem. Perhaps you should choose from other velcro ankle weights?

I am traveling and do not have my weights with me to measure. However, I would say give these a try. The velcro tightens quite nicely to fit snugly around ankles and wrists.

Hi Patric, I no longer jog/run as I used to. I use the weights while walking with no problem. I cannot tell you for sure, but you probably could run with them, slowly increasing the weights and making sure to wear thick socks to protect the ankles. Or you could try speed-walking first. The weight designer does not recommend them except for static exercises, but most people do walk with ankle weights without problems. Take care, Carmen Sofia

The ankle weights I bought several years ago fit a small boned ankle quite well. Not sure which product to which your are referring.

Is a single weigh. But the ankle weights are really good, good material, don't scratch the skin, it's like leather. My 15 lb one have almost two years and are like new. It's a really good buy.

The weights I purchased weigh 3 lbs. I have thin wrists. I tried them on my wrists and they were a little loose. Hope this heps.

Yes. I purchases these weights for my granddaughters. We have tried several different leg weights and they both say that these weights are so comfortable. One plays basketball for her HS. And her sister is on the dance team. They both run 2 miles every day and love these weights. My basketball player uses them during practice.

I have the weights that have 5 2-lb. weights for each ankle. Though it might vary depending on how many of the weights you've inserted, I just measured one that I had 2 2-lb. weights in... It can be tightened enough for my 7 1/2" ankles and loosened to accommodate 22"! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to tighten them enough, but I found that I can fold back the part with the rings (only using one set of rings) and get them tight enough this way. They're good weights and easy to use!
