Gaiam Soft Walking Hand Weights with Strap, 4lb Set Women Men

They’re great! Way easier to hold than dumbbells!

I use these weights all the time for figure skating, and they’re fantastic. The added resistance gives extra force to spins and turns, but also challenges your balance and technique in a good way. Pulse plié jacks on spread eagles are no joke with these—my heart rate spikes about 40%. Highly effective for building strength and control.

These are great for light toning of the shoulder, tricep, bicep, and upper back muscles. I use them at least five days a week while walking, and they can be used for both power walking arm pumping swings or tighter 90° angle short arm swings. I don't recommend them for typical arms-at-the-sides arm motions. They pull on the shoulder joints then. I also used 2 pound weights, but found that after extended walks, say, longer than 3 miles, they started to pull on my shoulders. I can use these for up to 5 miles without too much strain. I walk at a pace of approximately 3.8 to 3.9 mph, so my 5 mile walk takes about a I can use these for up to 5 miles without too much strain. I walk at a pace of approximately 3.8 to 3.9 mph, so my 5 mile walk takes about an hour and 20 minutes. By the end of the walk, I do sort of feel it in my shoulders, but I never feel any pain in the morning.These are much better designed than my former pair and have just enough room to slide my hand in. The fabric seems to be moisture wicking, and the material within is both stable and a little flexible. I don't recommend squeezing the weights, as this puts pressure on the fingers and wrists. I pretend I'm holding a chicken's egg and keep my thumb and fingers relaxed so that I wouldn't crush the egg. These are by far the best weights I have ever used, and I feel sure they could be used at home for rehab exercises or gentle weightlifting. Well worth the price. You get what you pay for.

These would be 5-Star but for the luge of me I cannot understand why they dont have these labeled as to how heavy they are. They would not register on their own on our scale, so I weighed myself and then again holding both weights - these weigh TWO POUND EACH. Another review says 1lb, but they are indeed 2lbs each as one will find after searching in the product description.

These walking hand weights are just what we were looking for. My daughter is using them to keep her hand motions sharp for cheer. Good quality, fits perfectly in your hand and has a strap. The green weights are 2lbs each.

At 60yrs old, I'm trying to do the best I can with what I do, chair workout. These light but oh so useful weights are perfect. I put then on and use them throughout my workout adding a little resistance, grip and flexing to my simple routine. After about 2 weeks 3x a day, my shoulders, arms and wrists were stronger. These are very good size and fit and add just that small extra to your workout.

I walk about 4 miles/day as my workout and ordered these 2lbs/each weights to add an upper arm workout to my routine. The strap makes them easy to hold onto while flexing and after a couple of months of use, I can see the difference in my biceps and added strength in my arms. I'm a senior woman who had good upper body strength for years but as of late, am noticing age taking it's toll on my muscles. These weights have certainly helped with that. They seemed heavy when I first started out but after a few weeks, they seem too light. I am ready to up my routine by a pound or two for each arm if I can find weights like these in a heavier version. Well worth ever dime it costs to purchase.

These are easy to hold with no worries about accidentally dropping them. Great if you have arthritis in your thumbs and gripping a barbell shaped hand weight is a challenge. My hand fits under the loop and I don’t have to grip tightly. 2 pounds isn’t heavy but is just enough to require a little more effort while doing an otherwise easy exercise.

The Gaiam soft dumbbell walking weights are very comfortable to use and well designed. The hand strap makes a big difference, keeping the weights secure without needing to grip tightly, which is great for longer walks or light exercise sessions. They are soft, well-padded, and don’t dig into the hands like traditional hard dumbbells. This makes them ideal for walking, gentle strength training, rehab exercises, or low-impact workouts at home. The weights feel balanced, durable, and easy to clean. They’re also compact and easy to store or take with you. Perfect for beginners, seniors, or anyone looking to add a bit of resistance without straining joints. Simple, effective, and very comfortable — highly recommended.
