FYI
These are the same set of medicine balls my personal trainer uses. I LOVE them. They are bumpy rubber like a basketball and roughly the same size. The 12 & 10 lb. are about the size of a basketball, while the 8 & 6 lb. are slightly smaller, and 4 & 2 lb. just a bit smaller than that. It seems like such an easy workout but surprisingly you can really feel the workout in your core. They are NOT the same as the Weighted Fitness Ball which is about the size of a softball. My whole family uses these medicine balls, it is a great workout we can all do together.
I'm very happy with this medicine ball. It seems well made, and its deeply textured surface and medium/small size (8.5" in diameter) make it very easy to handle. When I bought this Valeo 8-pound ball, I also ordered a TKO 12-pound ball, which has some distinct differences. The TKO turned out to be much larger: at 11" in diameter, it's even bigger than a basketball, and the texturing on the TKO is not as deep.

Looking for 10 lb weights that won't mark up the floor or carpet?This is the set for you.These are 10 lb each, for a total of 20 lbs. They were packed well and no damage to the box during delivery.
They do their job and are sturdy despite being plastic. They can carry my weight (134 lbs). I guess they will be functional for many years.
I've been using the weighted vest now for 5+ weeks.I began with just power walking in it 5 days a week.Then added running of stairs in it for 2 minute intervals and then occasionally jogging in it.Within 2 weeks I noticed a large rip by the chest area on the left hand side.Luckily it is not a structural rip, but does make me nervous that it will not last so I've been reduced to only power walking with the vest 5 days a week and no running at all, as the material does not seem to be able to handle the added stress of bouncing.So if you are only going to be walking in it and not bouncing then this will work great for you.About Valeo

The good thing about the Valeo Weighted Toning/Fitness Balls is that they are ALL 5 inches in diameter, regardless of the weight size (2lbs up to 10lbs). This means that you can hold 2 10lb. toning balls (one in each hand) while exercising. This is not true of the other toning fitness balls (i.e., gofit and danskin). With the Gofit and Danskin balls, the diameter of the balls increase as the weight increases. So the diameters of the GoFit and Danskin balls are roughly as follows: 6lb=a little under 6 inches, 8lb=a little over 6.5 inches, and 10lb=roughly 7inches versus 5 inches for all of the Valeo balls.

I have also purchased weights called 'The Cuff' & another brand - but they don't compare to the Valeo weights. Not only can you remove individual weight packets from each weight attachment - but the entire design is SUPERIOR:Valeo weights close with a 'D' ring plus velcro straps, so the straps don't stick out (I wore a rubber band around the other designed weights to hold the strap down, lest it catch on something &/or come loose) & the Valeo's are SECURE & SAFE!They stay exactly where I put them around my ankles when I walk through brush, etc.The Valeo's don't twist or loosen, regardless of what I'm doing.I would recommend these over all the just 'wrap around velcro straps' closures, without the 'D' ring design, to everyone considering buying any wrist or ankle weights.Don't waste money on the inferior designs (that actually cost MORE!).

Another reviewer had noted that these weights are small, and I agree.I'm pretty thin, and these fit perfectly and are very comfortable to use.If youhave a lager build, these probably aren't for you, but I love them.
I have two different "standard-size" barbell bars: the spin lock, and a bar bought as part of a set from Modells several years ago.These collars fit the spin lock barbell and dumbbell bars beautifully and prevent the weights from moving to any large degree (but they've been tested at 100lbs. limit).However the collars are way too large for the other "Modell's" barbell set bar.About Valeo

great belt looks coollovethetancoloritsasolidbeltthatgives goodsupport !
The rope was very long when I received it, but then I unscrewed the handles and cut the rope and shuved the remaining of it with the not inside the handlebar, which was fairly easy to do, now it's perfect length and the weight really helps with the strengthening of your arms/shoulders, it's definitely a great workout!
Valeo's foam belt line main value is the "memory foam" within the lining. Sampling its use, I tried a bodyweight squat, the movement was uninhibited and the range of motion was smooth. It didn't stop my hips coming up nor stop me from stretching at the bottom. I purchase the belt to protect my spine and increase plate poundage to squat(least used and most misunderstood exercise-review Starting Strength 2nd and Squat Rx on You Tube), deadlift(lumbar strength) and power clean(explosive movement). True to its "memory foam" claim Valeo's belt conforms around your core immediately rather than over time after a couple or several workout sessions. Although, I question the plastic buckle longevity; one year of use seems realistic, but if in two years I'm still using the same belt then clearly it should be in every olympic, power, and bodybuilding lifter's backpack.
I bought this rope for my 7-year-old son who has taken a recent interest in jump roping.The rope is adjustable, although there are no instructions for how to adjust it - I had to figure it out for myself.He has been using it frequently for a week or two, and the beads are constantly breaking off.The red ones went first, but now the black ones are starting to break.It's a nice rope with good handles, but the beads need to be made from a more durable plastic.
I've used this at my home pull up bar and it works great. Your abs will absolutely burn doing leg raises! Instead of getting distracted by losing grip on the bar, hang off of these ab straps will allow you to do more leg raises and focus on what your after--building solid abs!
I purchased these exact gloves .... 3 (1 hour classes) uses later the seem blewout!I took them back to the sporting goods store I bought them for an exchange, went back to the section, removed another pair from the box, tugged in the area I had issues with and SURE ENOUGH .... APART CAME THE SEAM!
Excellent product, just as advertised.Feels great, looks great, works well.Smells like a bonfire though as they charred it to make it look better or make it stronger?About Valeo
