Bala Bangles are adjustable 1lb weighted bands worn around the wrists or ankles to add resistance to bodyweight movement. The soft-touch silicone shell covers a steel core, and a hidden adjustable strap fits a wide range of arm and ankle sizes. They are designed to wear during pilates, yoga, walking, barre, or low-impact home workouts where a small added load creates noticeable burn without changing form. Best fit: home Pilates devotees, walkers who want a low-key way to add resistance, and anyo

Frequently asked questions
Can I wear them on my ankles too?
Yes, the adjustable strap is designed to fit both wrists and ankles for most adults. Some users with very slim ankles report a slight slip during running.
Will the silicone shell pinch the skin?
The soft-touch silicone is the main reason buyers prefer Bala over older neoprene weights. The strap is wide enough that it spreads pressure and does not pinch in normal use.
Are 1lb bangles enough to make a difference?
For low-impact movement like Pilates, yoga, or walking, 1lb is enough to feel a noticeable burn within 10 to 15 minutes. For strength training, you will want the 2lb or 3lb sets.
Can I run with them on?
You can, but Bala generally recommends them for low-impact activity. Running with ankle weights changes your stride mechanics and can stress the knees over time.
