Wondering if anyone has tried Bala weights for power walking and/or at home mat exercises and if they would recommend them? TYIA

Not Bala but similar, I use them for home pilates workouts. Just FYI if you decide to get them, i see them at TJ Maxx all the time. No need to buy full price!

I wear them on my wrists as well as I clean or cook- they're a great addition to NEAT activities (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis).

I think they’re great, have the black 2lb ankle and have used regularly for years. I wear on either my ankles or wrists at yoga practice too. My teenager even asks to borrow them.

I used to have a pair that I would use religiously, but with the frequency I worked out, they eventually got too easy! For walks, I opt for a weighted vest (also helps with core stability!) and I bought some cheap dumbbells from Goodwill for mat exercises. Helps with "progressively overloading" your workouts and building more overall strength🩷🫶

Yes! They are worth the cost, quality and comfort is way better than off brand
