Don't want to carry 3lbs weights to Zumba Toning..Thinking about getting these gloves? Will this give me some resistance?

They should be fine. I got 1.5 or 1 lb each ( can't remember) and they are a little too heavy for me. I use them for about half the work out. 1 lb should be fine. Most the of women in my class use .5 lb.

Some resistance , I would preferred 2 lbs each. I box with these. They are fine

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

well I use them for weight lifting,, I think they may be too heavy for racket sports,, maybe try baseball gloves..but the womens are probably fine for racket sports since they are not as heavy

If you are not already rough with your hands, then your grip strength doesnt actually matter IMO. you must toughen up your hands. These things are metal and cut in a diamond texture like a weight bar. You should really get a Trainer model if you don't already have somewhat beatup hands. Even if it proves to be easy to compress, you can always slow down the rep to improve effectiveness until you pick up the #1.

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

Hi Agb, I had no problem doing push-ups with these gloves on the gym's wood floor.

Absolutely!! I'm a woman and I purchased a small and they are by far the best gloves I've purchased to date for weight lifting training and Bootcamp.

I can't say for sure but I think they would be okay for that. My problem was with gripping the weights and the fingers stretching out that the material bunched up at the ends of the fingers.

Gina, you can definitely use these to lift. I do. But if you aren't doing any boxing, I wouldn't recommend getting these simply because of the cost. If you are boxing, then definitely get these. It saves time not having to change gloves!

I think it would have plenty of support, but if they are too tight I find they cut circulation off to your hands. I use them for heavy dumbells and unwrap them when I am done a set for that reason. You may consider the shorter ones which would not be as tight

Definitely would NOT use these for yoga.... as far as resistance training with machines, they are good to use on your heaviest sets. =]

I don't think so. The grip with these kind of gloves will be so thick... I use them for gym.

Yes and no...yes if its just bare hands...bt no if you have like fingerless gloves or hand wrap on them..i use workout gloves along w this stuff bt my fingertips still get very sweaty n i cant hold onto equipment as well.

Hi there, I think probably better than cloth wraps, because there is a little bit more padding on top with some time of gel. But I take a kickboxing class and hit the bags and I wish I would have gotten a better glove with more support. There is a slightly bigger version ( I think Amazon also sells it). I will keep them though because they are good. I think if you wear regular cloth wraps, you would probably like these because they are not bulky and just offer better protection than just wraps. hope it helps

I do have a little trouble with my hands so I do think the fitness gloves would be a big help. I have problems with one of my knees so I kneel on a pillow. The extra cushion helps.

16 oz is good if you are a beginner, plan to do a lot of heavy bag punching or otherwise want more protection for your hands. The lighter ones like 12oz, 14oz etc are also good but offer less protection to your hands and specially the knuckles...with the lighter gloves, my hands would end up being a bit sore at the end of the workout session. Got myself the 16 oz recently and that problem has gone away.

The gloves feel heavy but not because of padding. I would only use them for weight lifting.

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.
