Wrist weights are weighted devices worn around the wrist to add drag to one's regular movement. They are usually made up of a heavy filling covered in a nylon or neoprene case. Wrist weights are commonly used to replace or enhance dumbbell exercises, and provide a more casual form of resistance training.
Slip-on Wrist Weights resemble thick bracelets and can be slipped over the hand onto the wrist. They are generally more secure than Velcro weights, since they have permanent closures.
Ankle-wrist weights
Velcro wrist weights are wrapped around the wrist and secured with Velcro straps or buckles. They are larger and bulkier than Slip-on Wrist Weights, and usually come in heavier weights for more rigorous training. They can also be used on ankle weights.
Fit: Choose wrist weights that fit properly over your wrist. Make sure they will not snap open or slide along your arm during your exercise. Look for one with an adjustable closure to help you find the best fit.
Maintenance: Choose wrist weights that will not easily rip or stain. Look for thick, durable fabric casings. Choose a pair that is washable to help get rid of stains and spots.
