I am looking for adjustable weights for ankles (my use for ankles only) that can range from 1 to 5 pounds on each ankle. Will this product do that?

Yes, it can. However, these go up to 10lb each ankle. You can pull weights to keep it in the 1-5lb. range, but if 5lb. will be your maximum weight, then save by buying 5lb. max wights.

Not really; these weights have 5 pockets on each, each pocket has a two pound bag of sand in it so the lowest you could go is 2 lbs per ankle weight. I was not happy with the sand bags as the leaked, they are plastic, albeit thick plastic, but sand leaked from the seams. I replaced the bags using my own creativity to make 1 lb tubes that I could then completely customize the weight distribution.

If you are looking for ankle weights to do leg lifts etc. in place without running or walking, these would be perfect. They do not tighten enough for a person who wants to jog or run.

I would say probably not. The one we got for my daughter just fits her ankle. She's about 18 pounds. You might want to just get a necklace instead.

There are straps that fasten to ankles for resistance weight just like the hand straps for for resistance band weight lifting. It works great without all the weights to move around.

Sorry don't know. i use it for ankle weights. But i doubt it as it would interfere with wrist movement.

If you try to run I think they will shake all over the place. I don't think it's good to run with ankle weights...if you ask me. I use them for hip and butt exercises and the work great. If you want to add weight to your running the get a weighted vest or wear a heavy back pack. Good luck.

You're right, Liz. It TALKS about the other choices, but only ALLOWS you to choose the one-pound weights! That IS a problem. Perhaps you should choose from other velcro ankle weights?

Yes, each leg weight has 10 metal weights in it, each about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide (each weight fits into its own pouch). You can easily adjust the total weight by removing these individual weights as needed. Another bonus is you take out all 10 and can easily wash the fabric part. I have been very satisfied with them. Too bad I can't post a picture or I'd be able to show you :-).

The weight listed is total. You'd by the 10lbs version for 5lb each ankle...

The price is for a pair of ankle weights, each is 5 lbs for a total of 10 lbs for the pair.

Well, I can tell myself; who is 55 years old and had plastic surgery from a horrific car accident that I use these ankle weights for short periods of time of exercise but under no circumstance should you use these for walking around the block or in the park. Only use these for " short periods of time " period.... Remember that I also have damaged ankles (broken left ankle and broken right foot with broken right leg )and other assorted maladies.

Biomechanically running and walking wearing ankle weights is bad on the knees and feet. It would be better if you used them to do leg raises on the floor to strengthen all the muscles around the hip and knee, and also for abdominal work. Good luck!

On the sets that we bought, they were the larger ones than the wrist units. Each side has five of the one pound weights. We use them on wrists and ankles, as do most of the people in our "Silver Sneakers" class. You can add or remove up to five of the one pound weights per right or left side.

On each ankle, there are eight slots for weights. This totals five pounds. So you can take them all out and have no weight (don't know why you would do that...), have one in and have .625 lbs, two in and have 1.25 lbs., and so on.

I have a "regular" that fits average people of average buoyancy (adjustable belt goes from skinny to pretty heavy easily). These are not shoes like my older set, they are ankle wraps as far as I can see. No weights, floatable foam (resistance from water gives you workout, not weights. Same for dumbells- foam. Youtube offers videos of product.

That would be the one area you get what pay for in the cheaper model. They could really improve the ankle system easily. I have to wear boots when I invert to make it so my feet don't extend and end up supporting all my weigh improperly. I feel that the bottom foot rest and upper bar are too far apart and feet slide down or I have to flex my feet which I can only do for 5 min at most.

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

Hi Arlene. There are small 1/2 pound bars that you can slip in/out of pouch on the ankle strap. Each ankle strap holds up to 5 pounds.
