    UM, HELL YES!!!

    completely worth it!!! they give your arms a much better workout!!!!

    Get a pair of adjustable weight ones. That way you can start with say 1 lbs then in 2-4 weeks increase to 1.5 pounds then in another cpl weeks increase to 2 lbs. great way to keep challenging yourself!!

    I use Everlast 5lbs gloves when I shadow box, I also use them sometimes when I run or when I am trying to increase weight when working on arms and cant make that 5 lb jump to a higher weight.

    I ordered some light gray/pink Vaelo ones off Amazon after hearing that the beach body ones weren't too good. They definitely add to your workout if you are doing Turbo Jam!
