Not True 1 lb. Gloves
I own the original Beachbody 1 lb. weighted gloves---the ones with the big round ball in the center of your palm. I used them until they were completely worn out and needed to be replaced. They are great for intensifying your turbo workout and building nicely cut arms. However, I ordered this newly designed pair to replace my old ones and immediately noticed a difference in my workout---it was too easy. I weighed them and they are barely 12 oz. It may not seem like much of a difference, but when you have built up your strength using true 1 lb. weighted gloves you can really feel the lack of resistance.

I think these newly designed BB gloves are great for beginners, but if you need a true 1 lb. weight I recommend finding another brand.

I would like to add that if you are new to using weighted gloves in your workout it will seem difficult at first but don't give up. Start slow and build up gradually if you need to. Before you know it you will get through the entire routine. The results are well worth it and you will never exercise without them again.

Good idea, poor quality
First the good: I was so excited to get these gloves. They took a little getting used to at first but after a couple of workouts they were pretty comfortable. You can wear them with the weight on the back of your hand, or in your palm, whichever is more comfortable for you. Personally I preferred the weight on the back of my hand. I found that wearing these gloves really improved my workouts, when incorporated with the Turbo Jam DVDs. They were a good weight in that I felt like they added difficulty, but they were not so heavy that I couldn't wear them for almost my whole workout.

Now the bad: These gloves are of exceptionally poor quality, and basically fell apart after very little use. After using them for two workouts (< 2 hours total), I noticed the velcro coming loose on one of them. I decided that it was something I could fix with a needle and some thread. By the end of my third workout, the finger loops on one of the gloves had come completely apart, leaving the glove flopping around on my hand when I am punching. I would try and fix it but I think the gloves are not of high enough quality to make it worth my effort. I am in the process of trying to contact beachbody for a replacement.

The bottom line: I'd highly recommend weighted gloves for use with the turbo jam workouts, just not this specific pair.

Great Addition To Your Workouts!
I have these gloves and I use them anywhere from my Turbo Jam,to my Hip Hop Abs, to my Taebo Workouts!They make the workouts more fun and make me work harder on my Turbo Jam and Taebo moves.They are also easier to use than holding hand weights during cardio routines.I also put more effort into a punch and an uppercut!
