The Firm: Weighted Cardio Gloves Kit

Love these and use them often, I would have preferred that the weighted part are in the palm of your hand instead of made to be on top of your hand but maybe that is the way they are to be. Love the DVD, it is fun to work out with them and have totally felt a difference in my arm strength since using them. Anyone that wants to firm up their arms, both lower and upper will want these weighted cardio gloves. Loved that they came with a DVD.

I purchased these gloves to use with my Strike kickboxing videos where 1 pound weighted gloves are used to intensify the workout. The first thing I noticed after opening the box was that one of the gloves had dirt smudges on it (as if it had been previously worn), even though these were supposed to be new. Since I knew they would be getting sweaty from me exercising, I decided to let it go. However, when I put the gloves on, I was surprised at how tight the fit was at the wrist. I am lean and my wrist are very thin (size small), but I still felt like I could possibly tear these gloves trying to fit them over my wrist. Then, I noticed how loose they felt around my thumb and palm area. No matter how tight I tried to adjust the velcro, the glove still felt loose. I decided to give them a try since I already had my workout set up, but within 15 minutes I was annoyed and pulling them off. The sand/gloves shifted up and down, left and right (basically all over the place), while I was punching, and it was so aggravating and distracting I had to rip them off. Please take my advice and don't bother with purchasing these gloves. They're a huge waste of time and money.

I was hoping that I would get more of an upper body workout since this DVD came with gloves. Overall, this gets my heart rate up and keeps it there throughout the workout. I feel like I get a really good workout during the 20 minutes. I use it once or twice a week in addition to other workouts. I would recommend it as an addition to an exercise regimen.

This is a fun work out but the gloves are very loose. Gloves seem to be made for people with big hands.

Okay...I admit it, I only bought this for the gloves which are awesome. Did not expect to like the DVD as well. I bought another DVD workout and only tried this one to see if I like the workout. Well I liked the workout also. So I'm losing weight and getting in shape. My son is also doing the workouts with me. I like to switch up my workouts and having this one included with gloves was an added bonus! Worth the money. Would recommend to a friend.

I have small wrists, and I cannot secure the wrist straps securely so the gloves don't "slosh" around with movement. Furthermore, I'm really not crazy about how the gloves fit on the hand. Your thumb has a hole. Your index, middle, and ring fingers go through another hole. The pinky finger then sticks out of its own space. I really don't like how the index, middle, and ring fingers get squeezed together. I'm returning these gloves. They appear well-made, but they should also fit well for their given purpose.

The video is good if you just need to get a quick workout in and can't make it to the gym. Love the gloves and they are the perfect amount of weight

This is more difficult then you think it's going to be, 20 minutes and I was pretty sweaty and out of breath. Great buy and she is a good trainer, non-irritating.
