Gaiam Hand Weights for Women & Men Soft Dumbbell Walking Hand Weight Sets with Hand Strap

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.

Easy to walk with! Great hand weights! Cute color! Easy to grip handles !

I absolutely LOVE these. So comfortable and easy to use while I do my daily walks! GREAT item!

I could have picked a heavier weight but I enjoy these for stretches as I walk. A little weight helps pick up the heart rate. These are easy to hold as you move.

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 walk with. They are comfortable and nice to hold. My husband likes them.

This were a gift for my mum who at the time was 50 yrs old She wanted some weight on her power walk but not to heavy that would hurt her wrist Workout effectiveness Softness Size perfect for hands Over all it’s a value for money Quality is presentable

Very nice walking dumbbells I use while walking to build muscles

I was "influenced" by a fitness that I watch/follow and so far, her suggestions never miss. These are awesome. I use them for fast-paced cardio kickboxing and even for pilates. They're really soft and easy to wrap in your fists. I am considering buying the heavier weights once I outgrow these weights.

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.
