Bala Bangles have become a popular workout accessory for both fitness buffs and casual home exercisers alike, but the hand and ankle weights don’t come cheap, retailing for up to $65 online. If you’re just starting to incorporate weighted bracelets into your workout routine or looking for something cheaper, we’ve found a great Bala Bangles alternative on Amazon.

On sale at Amazon for up to more than 30 percent off, these wearable wrist and ankle weights start at just $16 for a one-pound set, and deliver the same great styling and functionality at a quarter of the price of the more expensive Bala Bands. Great for jogging, yoga and strength training, the portable weights are a no-brainer to add to your fitness regime, especially at the under $20 price point.

Buy Wearable Wrist AND Ankle Weights at Amazon

These wrist and ankle weights come in one-, two- and four-pound sets, and are available in pink, grey, light blue or black colorways. When you clip the additional 15 percent off coupon on the product page, the two-pound set is on sale for $18.69 (regularly from $21.99) and the four-pound set is $33.14 (reg. $38.99). While the weights are made from durable stainless steel, the wrap is made from a nylon and silicone material, which is soft and gentle on the skin. The material is also sweat-proof, dust-proof and won’t absorb odors; wipe it down with a damp cloth to clean easily.

The wearable weights come with an adjustable elastic band that is large enough to fit most wrist and ankle sizes. Everything seals together with a strong velcro closure.

This is a great way to tone and strengthen your arms and legs while out for a walk, stretching at home, or doing resistance training. At just $16 for the one-pound set (each bangle weighs half a pound), these Amazon weights are a great Bala Bangles alternative (and a great gift idea too). They’re also a top-rated pick online, with shoppers giving them a 4.4-star rating (out of five) from hundreds of verified reviews. See full details here.
