THERABAND Aquafins Aquatic Exercise Kit For Water Resistance Training for Upper/Lower Body, Pool Physical Therapy, Water Aerobics Equipment, 2 Fins, Mesh Bag, and Quick Start Exercise Instructions

This rating is based on the fact that the fins have really been an excellent addition to my arm workout in the pool. I purchased them primarily to wear around wrists and do a variety of arm exercises. In a relatively short time, they have significantly helped to redefine my arms and are also helping to correct a scapula alata (winged shoulder blade) issue that I have.They are enjoyable to use and a good size to take to the pool.Note that the velcro is extremely strong - good for making sure they stay on - but can be a challenge to take them off oneself. I started fastening the velcro differently than instructed so I could take them off myself more easily (fastening the long piece of velcro at an angle so the long end is free and can be pulled more easily than if fastened as instructed where the velcro is straight/flush).Also, I have tried the fins on my ankles (where fins are pointing front and back). They are useful in creating resistance when moving legs side to side. I have also tried them where the fins are pointing side to side - but it is necessary to keep legs far enough apart to avoid them running into each other. The fins are next to impossible to get on one's ankles in the water! It is recommended to put them on when still on land land and then get in the pool.Note also that the velcro is quite long when fastened on wrists and a normal length when fastened on ankles. The booklet that comes with the fins says you can trim the velcro - which is logical if only ever used on wrists - but losing the length would also make it more difficult to remove the fins oneself.

My first pair of Aquafins were gifted to me in 2017. After 7 years of regular use, the velcro finally gave up and I ordered a new set. I attach the fins to my ankles and perform a regular routine of side leg lifts, front to back leg lifts, clams and donkey kicks. The velcro strap is durable enough to prevent the fin from moving but easy enough to undo to reposition the fin for each discipline without having to exit the pool each time. You will be surprised by how much restitance these offer so I suggest starting in the shallow end of the pool until you are used to the fins and your routine before moving to deeper water. And always check with your doctor prior to using these if your legs or back are compromised in any way. I haven't used these on my arms but see how they could benefit. I use Theraband brand dumbells in the water for my arms.

I broke my back several years ago due to a very bad fall. Because of this I have done quite a bit of PT. For me, the easiest and most effective programs have been the aquatic therapies.So naturally, I have purchased more than my share of aquatic exercise equipment.I can honestly say that this has to be my favorite so far.The versatility of being able to wear them on both your arms and your legs has been great for me. I wear them on my wrists and simply clap my hands underwater to work my pecs and my upper back. You can control the amount resistance you get by controlling the speed and tempo of your movements.If I wear them on my ankles and just lay back with my arms resting on the edge of the pool, I find it easy to work both my abs and glutes by doing scissor kicks.I have been using these for less than a month and I already have visible results in my lower abs and my waistline.I would absolutely recommend these to anyone who wants an effective no impact workout.

My physical therapist suggested this for pool exercises after my bilateral total knee replacement surgery. It's a gentle way to work on my strength and flexibility, even in a hot tub once the pool closes for the season. It does the job. My ankles are a bit swollen, so the fit is a little tight there--they really seem more designed for wrists--but i manage. I'd just better not gain any weight or swell more there, or the velcro won't close!

Love them! I use them in a warm water pool everyday! The resistance is nice. I have leg weights as well. I feel that both products work different muscles. The quality of these aquatic Exercise Fins is great. They are sturdy and well made. I do have one little piece of plastic, on one of the fins that pops out sometimes, but I just pop it back in. I love them. The picture shows 4 of them. There are two that come with the set. You can use them on your ankles or your wrists. You can make the resistance more or less depending on how you use them! I use them in a salt water warm water pool almost daily and they look as good as the day I got them. I seen another lady in the pool using them and she let me try them. Loved them right away..went home and ordered them. They are awesome!!

These are great for exercise, but difficult to walk and maneuver in pool with these on; difinitely could not swim. great for wrist but velco hard to manage with arthritis. Seniors would need help putting these on.

They are very comfortable and easy to use. Although on the expensive side the quality is excellent and have been a great addition to our pool workout!
