Do i need to go heavier on the balls if these stay in place completely even when i jump up and down? Will they still be effective on tightening?

Congrats on good tone.. yes you can now practice juggling them.. once you learn how then you can expell them on command and work on your aim.. lol.. of course you can always go bigger/heavier..just get creative with them and have fun too. All in the name of fitness of course.. ;))

if you have no problem holding these ones in for 15 minutes a day, then yes I would definitely go heavier.

I'd say no. 1. These won't stay on the way you want. (Especially if you're doing kicking drills etc.) They slip and you'll spend more time being annoyed and adjusting than training. 2. The material is cheap. I kept having to come up with new fixes for these. Now they just sit in my closet. Actually I might as well throw them out. 3. They're actually not that heavy. I've worn combat boots that were heavier.

No, you have to use Slider brand balls which are much lighter than regular balls.

They don't exactly lock into place. There is grooves they set in to keep them in place. I have not had problems with them moving so it seems to work for me.

I have worn them when I workout- running, elliptical, weights. They stayed up pretty well. I own two pair and only one stocking out of the four had a tendency to slip down.

Well it depends on what kind of sport and the amount of movement in it . I wouldnt recommend using them as if their on your head they can fall off and break since theyre made of plastic but if your doing light work then go for it .

No, they do slide around for me. As long as I am just walking and not dancing or goofing around, they seem to stay in place ok.

Hi, these work very well! I first bought 4 5 pound flat weights that I put at the base of each leg. Then these dbl cylinders wrap around the leg and the velcro strap belt secures them; in addition to that there is metal hardware that is sewn onto a piece of webbing at the top that can be attached to the leg. They do not budge. I like the 5 pound discs underneath because it keeps the nylon cleaner and drier. Good luck!

You start fairly tight and adjust. Too tight and it will not slide loosing all effectiveness. Too loose and you will have sway.

I used these for heavy lifting sessions and they stay in place for me just fine. They stay in while deadlifting, squats, box jumps etc... I'm not a runner but I think they will be fine.

No, you don't bounce around as much. They still bounce, but it's not as springy so the bouncing is less.

No, the only time they really "roll" is when you drop them, but other than that they do not get stuck. I hope this helps.

When I do cleans I have no issues, However when doing the snatch it does shift a little because I sweat sooo much not a fault of the headphones. Here's my tip.... to prevent the headphones from shifting or moving at all, I always wear a baseball cap and place the headphones over them. Depending on what exercise I'm doing i wear it forwards or backwards. Even with the amount of sweat it doesn't budge. If you decide to get these headphones you will not be disappointed. I love these better than any I've had before and trust me I've gone through my share. Good luck and "Lift On!" :) When I do cleans I have no issues, However when doing the snatch it does shift a little because I sweat sooo much not a fault of the headphones.

Yes I would go with these for your weight. If you go to the next level up it will be much harder to learn. And you can always replace the springs if you grow out of them. They will adjust to your feet with the binding straps. These are EXTREMELY hard to find in store which is why I ordered mine online.

I use them lifting, stationary bike, row machine, sit-ups, pull-ups, and indoor climbing... and they have never just fallen out. The top ear clip thing really works well. The only times they've fallen out have been because the incredibly sticky cord catches on my shirt or the gym machine. If you're a little conscious of cord management (use the included clip and/or put hand on cord during sit-ups), they should be just fine.

Ah ............ Yes! ..... in my case, definitely! I had this issue in both heels/feet for quite a long time and I tried several things for relief. After a PT told me about the balls, I ordered them and they have made a world of difference. Now, I use them only when I feel a "tinge" of returning discomfort, and they remedy the issue right away. I would try them and I would guess that you will be very happy with the results.

I purchased the 158-198 lbs stilts; I am 165lbs. Though they have excellent spring, you have to put some force into them to get the desired propulsion (Your son will also have to get used to jumping and bringing the weight down on his heals instead of his toes). But once you get bouncing, you really get some air (mid air balance is sketchy at first). Just note, they are a bit heavy, so he shouldn't expect to be back flipping right away.Otherwise..great purchase, I was just using them this weekend.He's basically at the max capacity of the lighter model, but if he'll be gaining any weight, I woulnd't recommend the lighter version, since they could break.Hope this was helpfulHappy holidays!
