TheraBand Soft Weight, 4.5″ Diameter Hand Held Ball Shaped Isotonic Weighted Ball for Isometric Workouts, Strength Training and Rehab Exercises, Shoulder Strengthening and Surgery Rehabilitation, Yellow, 2.2 pound
TheraBand Soft Weights are hand-held, ball-shaped isotonic weights – a soft 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 inches, 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.
