Weights only work if you put them on.
Keep them by the door, not under the bed. A pair you can put on without thinking is a pair you will actually wear.
"Ankle weights always looked so dorky."
Looks good. Adds resistance.
Eight soft silicone plates on a flat black band. One colour, nothing printed on it. It reads as a bracelet, not as gym kit.
"How does a row of solid plates go round a wrist?"
Moves with your wrist, not against it.
The plates are not one bar. Each is a wedge, and they alternate, so the outside of the bend opens and the inside closes.
"Do I have to buy a separate pair for my ankles?"
Ankles today. Wrists tomorrow. Or both.
Wear the pair on your ankles for leg work, or on your wrists for arms. Same two bands either way. If you want both at once that is four bands, not a different product.
"I do not do Pilates."
Walk the dog, do the dishes, take the class. It all counts for more.
A walk, a class, a lap of the pool, leg lifts from a chair. One pound on each limb asks a little more of whatever you were doing anyway. It does not need a mat, it does not need a plan, just wear it.

Wrap & Go.
There is nothing to assemble and nothing to adjust. Putting them on should take less thought than finding your shoes.
Wrap
Lay the band round your wrist or your ankle with the plates facing out, and press the tail flat onto itself. Snug enough that it does not travel, loose enough that you are not aware of it.
Go
Do the thing you were going to do anyway. Most people forget they have them on, which is the point.
Why not just hold a dumbbell?
We have never handled a rival, so we will not compare one. Here are the two things people do instead.

| Works on wrists and ankles | No | Ankles mostly | Both, same band |
| Looks like something you would wear | No | No | That is the point |
| You can add more weight later | Yes | Some do | No, the load is fixed |
Questions people ask
Is it 2 lb per band or 2 lb for the pair?
2 lb for the pair. Each band is 1 lb.
Will the hook and loop keep holding?
It holds at first and softens over time. You notice it as the band creeping round your wrist, then as a weight working loose mid workout. Sweat and heat speed that up, so hot classes wear it fastest.
Will they fit my wrist?
Most, yes. The band is 29 cm laid flat and closes at anything under that. A very slim wrist is the limit: the band is one length, so on a small wrist there is spare strap left over and it can slide down.
Are these suitable for older adults?
Yes, and they work sitting down. On the ankles they add load to leg lifts, marches and knee extensions from a chair. Two limits first: a very slim wrist or ankle leaves spare strap and can let the band slide, and the fastening needs a pinch and a firm pull to close.
Are the measurements exact?
Each band is measured and filled by hand, so length varies by 1 to 2 cm / 0.4 to 0.8 in and weight by 0.01 to 0.03 kg / 0.02 to 0.06 lb.
Will the colour match the photographs?
Close, not exact. Colour reads differently on every screen, so take the pictures as a guide rather than a match.
Can I swim in them?
Yes. The plates are sealed silicone. The hook and loop softens faster wet than dry, so rinse them in fresh water and dry them flat afterwards.
Do they smell when they arrive?
They can for the first few days, from being shipped sealed in plastic. Air them for two or three days and it goes. If it does not, tell us and we will refund you.
How do I clean them?
Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let them dry fully before the next wear. Do not put them in a washing machine or a tumble dryer.
