weighted gloves
Can anyone tell me where to get weighted gloves? I noticed that a lot of people said already had them that were getting the new turbo jams. I have looked EVERYWHERE for a pair... I saw a pair a target, but they were only 1 lb...

They have a 4lb pair (each weighs 2lbs) and a 6 lb pair (each weighs 3 lbs), but they're pricey. If you use them for kickboxing, you really don't need a lot of weight, or you'll tear up your elbows. Personally, I use walking weights I bought at Target. They are small and skooshy, and they fit in the palm of your hand (I'd much rather have the weight distributed in my palm than on the back of my hand). They have a strap that velcros around the back of your hand. They come in two pounds and three pounds (or 1 pound and 1.5 pounds for each hand respectively). I love them. I've been toying with getting a pair of weighted gloves instead of platemates, for small increases in weightlifting. Sigh. I just can't decide.

new use for the weighted gloves
If you put the gloves on backwards (so that the weighted part is on top of your hand instead of in your palm) they are great to use as added weight while holding a dumbell. For rear delt work sometimes 5 lbs is too easy but 8 lbs is to hard but wearing the gloves backwards and holding a dumbell in each hand works out great! 6.5 lbs is a good weight to use on certain excercises. I don't know how often I will use these gloves for kickboxing but I think they will be of great use in adding just a little more weight to some of my dumbell excercises!

I've gotten good weighted gloves (Ironwear gloves) at a Reebok factory outlet, online, and at Target years ago.

I bought a pair of Gold's Gym weighted gloves at Ross for $3. They are 1.5lbs ea. I use them for kickboxing and powerwalking. They also had a 6lb pair for $6 but that was going to be too heavy for me.

Go to ebay and type in Altus Weighted gloves. I got mine from there and they still have a bunch available. I have the one lb. but you can buy two. You can buy the one lbs. and add more weight to them later if you decide you want more. They have a zipper pouch to put the weight in on the outside of the hand. I love mine.

 ), are the Altus gloves big or small? I have small hands, so I worry about them being too loose. Can you flip them inside out to dry out the sweat? (I sweat a lot too! LOL)TIA

I have small hands too. They are adjustable. They have a velcro flap you pull to make them tighter/looser, and to take off. The open up completely so you can lay them flat to dry them out. They dry pretty fast.
