Getting or leading an intense workout session doesn't have to mean buying a lot of expensive nautilus or cardio equipment. Although these are valuable pieces of equipment for a fitness facility, many exercisers can derive almost as much benefit from the addition of inexpensive weighted gloves or ankle weights to their aerobic workouts.

With little extra effort or instruction, individuals can use weighted hand gloves, ankle weights, vests or other body weights to bring new intensity to their usual workout regimens. Challenge advanced pupils or clients to work harder and build muscle and greater endurance with the addition of weight gloves to their usual fitness activities:
- walking (consider ankle weights instead of weighted exercise gloves to more safely intensify a walk)
- boxing - train for a more powerful punch
- kickboxing - add calorie burn to your workout
- rowing - weight gloves help build upper-body strength through added resistance
- aerobic dance, elliptical and stepper workouts - balance a good lower-body workout with weighted hand gloves for an upper-body burn
- resistance training - add hand and leg weights for better body building
In addition to weighted gloves, Fitness First also carries a number of other comfortable body weights for the dedicated fitness pro. Pick up an affordable set of wrist or ankle weights, or augment your walking with an adjustable weighted belt. Bicep weights target the rotator cuff and shoulder girdle, while thigh weights work out the hard-to-tone thigh muscles. We even have in stock comfortable weighted vests capable of holding up to 40 lbs. in additional weight. Fitness First's weighted exercise gloves, ankle and thigh weights, and vests are constructed to be comfortable for people of all sizes and shapes.
These products can be paired with a variety of instructional materials focusing on weight training, and make a fantastic gift package for a fitness enthusiast or personal trainer. (Any applicable discounts for these products are automatically deducted during checkout.)
