These weights really help make the stationary bike feel less grindy and more fun. The one pound weights are excellent for kickboxing hiit workouts. Perfect weight for each hand and are not cumbersome to hold onto while walking.

Even if your hands get sweaty, they are easy to hold. Use while walking to add arm exercises to daily routine, without adding extra time to exercise regime. Works out your arms at the same time increasing difficulty on each dance move while in class.

Hand grip becomes strong because you have to constantly keep it grasped during exercise. Easy to hold for 91 year old needing strengthening.

I find these 3 pounders very bulky compared to another brand of weights i own. These weights leave bruises on the back of your hands. Grease and dirt marks on them, along with little cuts and chips out of the rubber finish.
