Solid pair of balls. Nice and heavy.

I’ve always wondered what in the world people use these for. Well, I use them as weights for exercise. I found that the 1 1/2” diameter balls, which weigh 1/2 lb. each, are a good size to start with. The 1 1/2” diameter fits easily in the hands and is comfortable to hold for extended periods. While 1/2 lb. doesn’t sound like much, the balls are incredibly dense since they’re made out of steel. So they feel a lot heavier than they weigh. Holding them in your hands for an extended period while doing motions that involve arm swings is quite a workout. The first time I used them for running and walking with arm pumps, my lats were sore for two days. I also use them for other aerobic exercises and during warm-ups to get my heart beating a little faster. There are lots of other weighted items you can hold during exercise, such as barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, wrist weights, hand weights, steel clubs, steel maces, medicine balls, and sandbags. Each has a different weight distribution and requires different grip dynamics, and therefore activates different muscles. For fast movements where you hold the weights in one hand, I prefer something that’s small, easy to hold, and dense. I’ve tried the lightweight rubber or plastic balls you hold in one hand, but found they’re too large to hold comfortably for long. Wrist weights don’t strengthen your grip and they can slide on your arm, which can disrupt your movement and cause skin irritation. Fast movements with dumbbells can put a lot of stress on your wrists, but the ones with hand straps (like the old heavy hands ones) work pretty well for things like running and walking. For safety, you need to keep a firm grip on these while exercising. If they fell on your foot or were flung out of your hand and hit something delicate like a TV, they could do real damage. Also, if you have skin that’s sensitive (either to metal or to holding something very hard), you might consider wearing very light exercise gloves. I use Spacepower gloves, which are light and inexpensive and provide all the padding I need for these.
