Question Tone-y Bands wrist weights

Have you heard of this weighted bracelet? Do you have one? Would you recommended? Looks like something I could use with my walk, dance and cardio step workouts, weights are removable too, they have pairs of 1lb and 0.5 lb.

Amazon have other models as well.


------------------------------------


From their Amazon description:


Describe your product in 3 words.


Fun-ctional. Fashionable. Effective.

How did you come up with the idea for this product?

We came up with the idea while putting away the dishes wishing we could get some benefit from the 1000's of hours we spend in our daily life doing dishes/laundry and other household chores. As we played with the design, we knew it had to be comfortable and light enough to wear for long periods of time, and yet heavy enough for exercise. That making it adjustable, an ounce at a time. Then, we had to make sure it was easy to clean and waterproof. And, it needed to look good so we could wear it all day long.

What makes your product special?

Tone-y-Bands look good and feel soft so people like wearing them whether its throughout the day or with exercise. With just one workout, you can feel the difference in their arms and the intensity of the exercise. The weights are easy to adjust to customize it to the activity you are doing. They are waterproof and easy to clean. No matter how much you sweat, they don't smell. Tone-y-Bands makes every move count!

What has been the best part of your startup experience?

Hearing from people who use Tone-y-Bands to steady their hands with tremors has been the most rewarding part of this invention.

I don’t think I would like these. I can’t see where I would need adjustable 1-pound weights. One pound is about as low as I would ever go and I can‘t see wanting to adjust to 7 or 10 ounces or whatever. Also, having all those little pegs to change would be more little pieces I wouldn’t use. Plus the $49 price tag for a 1-pound pair of weights is a lot.

I find them pricey too. I have several 1 lb weighted gloves. But for the workouts I want to use them the most like Zumba, Cize, etc. I think 0.5 lb would be great. If I find a cheap dupe, I might give them a try.

A little Update:

I bought a pair of weighted bracelet that looks exactly the same as the tone-y-bands, just it has no brand on it, they are pink, they are cute and confortable, I have super small wrists (5.75 in) and they fit me well, I was scared they would be a bit too big. The ones I got are 0.5 lbs each, I have tried them out with two Zumba workouts and they were perfect!!! I felt a little extra burn while dancing, I love them! And I am glad I bought them.

As I mentioned, I have several weighted gloves that I love using for kickboxing, but when I use them with Leslie or any other cardio that is not boxing/kickboxing, I always take them off in the middle of the workout, I like my hands free if they are not in a fist position. So, I think I am going to use my new bracelets to walk with Leslie and my cardio step workouts too.

Cost was $32.50 CAD (around $27 US) including shipping vs $85 US (40 + 45 shipping to Canada + conversion... That would be around $100 CAD) for the tone-y-bands.

AsSweet - glad you like your bands. Which bands did you purchase? Can you share a link? I’d like to increase my weights in .5 to 1# increments so this may work.

Hi T2B, mine are 0.5 lbs each they can't be increased to 1 pound (no sure if that is what you are looking for?), I just used them as is, I didn't want heavier ones, and the seller I bought from didn't have heavier ones either. I bought mine from AliExpress, but he shipped it from the US. He took almost a week to ship them, and then they took another week or so to arrive. I know some people doesn't like ordering from AliExpress, so let me know if you still want the link. I have seem the same model on Amazon as well. I know the original ones have options of 1lb and 0.5 lbs each.

ETA: Mine look like this:



If you prefer 1 pound each, maybe something like this would be good to check: https://www.amazon.com/Ting-Chan-Adj...1107837&sr=8-7

AsSweet - thank you!!! I like them both but would probably go with the 1# weights, if I were to buy. I’m going to TJ Max today to see if I can find some ankle/wrist weights to use.
