Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too heavy or too light
The gloves are fixed at 0.5kg each for a total of 1kg. If this weight is not suitable, consider alternative weights or exercises. For lighter workouts, you might use them for shorter durations or during less intense phases.
Velcro closure is not holding securely
Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris. If the Velcro is worn, it may need to be replaced or the gloves considered for replacement.
Discomfort or chafing during use
Adjust the Velcro straps to find a more comfortable fit that is secure but not constricting. Ensure the gloves are the correct size for your hands and that there are no rough seams inside.
