Hand-held, ball-shaped isotonic weights. Therabans soft weights are an alternative to traditional isotonic dumbbells providing users more versatility for strength training and rehabilitation exercises. They are unique because the size of the ball, with a diameter of 4.5", does not increase as weight increases, allowing for a consistent and functional grip. This allows for either unilateral or bilateral exercise progressions, either independently or with a partner.
Soft Weights follow the TheraBand system of progressive exercise and are available in six color-coded weights, ranging from tan (½ kg/1.1 lbs) to black (3 kg/6.6 lbs), increasing in 1/2kg/1.1 lb. increments. Soft Weights allow users to increase weight in resistive training and rehabilitation programs without changing grip or technique, which is fundamental to the principles of progressive exercise.
In addition to traditional strengthening exercises for the upper and lower body, the Soft Weights can be used for many other applications. Their soft texture allows for functional grip or activities for individual fingers, which aid in hand and wrist rehabilitation. The Soft Weight can also be used for plyometric exercises with a rebounder or mini-trampoline for the upper extremity. Balance training or stabilization exercises can also be performed using the Soft Weight for lower extremity or lower back injuries.
Each TheraBand Soft Weight is accompanied by a guide that demonstrates proper exercises for various applications.
