I am recovering from a serious knee injury and am limited with what I can do to workout.  These add some resistance for my waterwalking, jogs and crosscountries so that I get a decent workout without hurting myself further.

I USE THEM ON MY FOREARMS TO INCREASE RESISTANCE AND BOYANCY FOR WATER JOGGING.  I HAVE LARGER CUFFS FOR MY LEGS.  THEY WORK WELL BUT I DO WISH THERE WAS A LARGER SIZE OF CUFF AVAILABLE FOR INCREASED RESISTANCE.  I WAS USING THE LARGER DUMBELL AND THE RESISTANCE WAS GOOD BUT IT HURT MY HANDS (ARTHRITIS).  I WILL NOT GO BACK TO THE DUMBELLS SINCE THESE DO NOT HURT MY HANDS.  IF THEY DO MAKE ONE WITH MORE RESISTANCE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.  FOR NOW I'M SET.  

THANKS

Overall, this is a quality product. However,  I am approximately 50 pounds overweight, and wanted these for running in the pool to help with my continued weight loss.  But , because the straps do not stretch enough (or come in a larger size,), they will not fit comfortably around my ankles. The company would be wise to put suggested ankle measurements that this product will fit in their description. Potential buyers should call customer service to ask what size ankles they can be used on.  Otherwise, I do like how they provide resistance for use on my forearms. .

I use the product in swim aerobics  - I wanted more resistance on my arms.  This product does not add much - also I have small wrists and found the X-cuff to be very big w/o any way to adjust the size.  I am not happy with the preformance at all.

adgustable strapes would make it better for not all people are the same size....

These bands were listed to be used on both legs and wrists.  I wanted the bands for water resistance without having to grip a dumbell.  They were too large and seem to have little effect.  I used them on my ankles, they work better and did provide resistance, but the hook-up buttons tend to dig in.
