Having a relatively light weight held close to your body won't have a radical effect on your muscles but if you place that weight a long way from your centre of gravity whilst working out then the effects really are noticeable.

These Adidas weighted gloves feature a super quick on/off Velcro ® design so that they are both comfortable and practical. The soft breathable material gives you a close fit but also ensures that you can use your hands freely at any time, for instance you can keep them on whilst changing the volume on your iPod® or tying up your shoe laces.

With 0.5kg of weight integrated into each Adidas glove, you'll work towards improving your punch speed, stamina and strength.
