Henkelion Adjustable Ankle Weights will help me rehab
Bought the 10 lb version. Arrived today. Wearing them now. 100% better than the old ankle wts I've had a long time. Way easy to put on. Good tight fit so won't slide around. Perfect weight. Hardly even feel it. I noticed some users had issues moving the weight packets in and out. I found it easy. Any problems might relate to the upper cover. It wants to hold on to the weight packet a bit, but is quickly freed. I'm 85 years old, played competitive sports since 4th grade, and now doing rehab from a recent bike accident. For my current objectives, these weights are just the ticket.

Good for home workouts
I just finished P/T and wanted to continue the exercises at home, so I bought these adjustable ankle weights. I wanted to be able to add weight as my strength improves, so I picked these. I'm currently using 3 lbs and doubt I'll need more than 5 for an effective workout, so these fit the bill, and the price was reasonable. I found it relatively easy to remove and replace the bags in each compartment. Each removable weight is a 1 lb bag of sand-type material in a plastic bag, encased in a black fabric bag that should be fully stitched closed on both ends. On two of the four bags I removed, the stitching had come undone, leaving that end partly open. Not a big deal since the sand is in a plastic bag but I'll probably restitch it closed; I deducted one star for that missed detail. I'm 5'2", with a small frame, so I was concerned that they would be too bulky or that I wouldn't be able to get them to close tightly enough, but the Velcro closure gives me a snug fit. They are a little bulky, but not uncomfortably so. I like the color and fabric. I think they'll work great for what I need. I recommend them if you're looking for this type of weight.

Easy to use
So far I’ve only worn the weights on my ankles while exercising. The weighted inserts are 2 pounds each in my 10 pound weights (ea.) It’s easy to slip the excess weights out to start with less weight and work up. The whole ankle or wrist weights stay secure with Velcro and are comfortable to wear.

Needed for physical therapy exercises
I am about to have hip replacement surgery and my physical therapist recommended 3lb. ankle weights for my pre- and post-surgical exercises. I’m still in the pre- stage and am having no issues using them. I can tell they are doing what needs to be done to help add some build to my muscle strength. Luckily, I am on the younger side of this surgery. I might even come back and get a set of 5lb. weights.

Exceptional quality. Will correct any issues with walking quickly. At least it did for me.
I read all the reviews before ordering. The one star reviews claimed the weight bags leaked sand. There were many good reviews, so I ordered them. Love them. I had suffered a minor stroke and my left leg tended to drag a little when I walked. So I started wearing these around the house. I went one day on all day and one day off all day. After the first day the dragging was gone. Looks like I am walking normally now. These exercise your core which is great. They make you breath a little heavier which is also great. Hopefully the bags will not leak sand. But so far they are great. They are so beneficial that if the bags leak I will request a replacement. I highly recommend buying these. They fit great. You can adjust the weight easily. The strap is strong as stays right where you put it. No slipping or coming apart. No slipping at all. Easy to adjust. The quality is exceptional. Very durable. They fit great. I will never be without them.

Great Product
They were easy to use.I love the purple color, size and weight. The weights can be adjusted according a person's body and strength. Most of all there wasn't any sand leaking from the seams.

Two velcro panels were not enough
Let me start with the positives -- item was exactly as described. Nice light blue, easily removed and replaced one pound weights, five in all. I was looking forward to using these in exercise.But never got that far. The problem is that there are only two velcro panels for the strap to fasten on. And that's exactly like the product pics at the top of the page. But when I tried to fasten the strap on my wrist or ankle, I could not get the strap to fasten to more than one of the two panels -- the unit is so long that the strap overshoots and only lands on one of the panels.What is very interesting to me is that I also ordered the 10 lb version, and those pictures at the top of the page show just two panels for that version, too. But thank God, as you can see in the photo I have supplied, I got three panels on mine. And that means the strap on that one lands on two panels.The difference is huge if you plan on using the weight straps in any vigorous exercise or even full range of motion exercises as a single panel cannot keep the straps from coming loose or moving as well as two or three panels. And with the 5 lb version, I had to wrap it around my bicep to get two panels on the strap. Am I out of shape? Sure, lol, that's why I bought 5lb straps with removable weight bags, so I could start with less than 5 lbs.If you have wrists that match my biceps, then God bless you. Why are you buying 5 lb weights again?Anyway, I am returning the 5 lb'ers and keeping the 10'ers for now because with the strap secured to two panels, it should be safe for light to moderate exercise. Still not sure it would be safe enough for running, but I am willing to try.
