Featuring half the level of buoyancy and resistance as our larger HYDRO-FIT Cuffs, our multi-purpose Mini Cuffs are the hardest working piece of equipment we make. Versatile as both resistance cuffs for around the ankles or wrists, and transforming to a comfortable flotation belt when fastened together. NOTE: Classic Mini Cuffs will accommodate up to a 38" waist when fastened together. The Classic version of Mini Cuffs feature a quick-release buckle closure for a firm and secure fit. Available in Blue/Black color combination. Sold as a pair. Proudly Made In the USA.
Water exercise is all about moving more water and creating more resistance—an irresistible combination for a great workout. Mini Cuffs are adaptable for both deep and shallow water. Wearing Mini Cuffs around the ankles or wrists increases water's natural resistance to enhance muscle tone, core strength and aerobic endurance. Wearing Mini Cuffs fastened together as a belt provides comfortable and secure flotation assist for a joint-friendly workout in deep water.
Ankle Cuffs: Around your ankles, Mini Cuffs work much like ankle weights do on land — toning and strengthening the muscles of your lower body and core more effectively.
Buoyancy Belt: Fasten your Mini Cuffs together to create a comfortable and secure flotation belt for deep water exercise activities. Mini Cuffs' segmented design distributes buoyancy evenly around the torso and fits waists up to 38”. NOTE: Mini Cuffs provide a mid-range level of buoyant support in deep water. Some individuals may find it necessary to wear two pairs, one pair around the ankles and one pair around the waist.
Wrist Cuffs: On your wrists, Mini Cuffs provide enhanced resistance and buoyancy to tone and strengthen the muscles of your upper body. Mini Cuffs hold onto you so you don’t have to hold onto them—less gripping means less stress on your hands and wrists.
Arm Cuffs: Around your upper arms, Mini Cuffs give you buoyant support in deep or shallow water. Ideal for abdominal toning exercises and deep water activities where a buoyancy belt is not suitable.
This challenging shallow water exercise develops core strength, balance and coordination. Engage your abdominal muscles as you lift and swing one leg forward and up. At the same time press both arms down and back.

Wearing any kind or type of "belt" around ankles is never comfortable.
However, the design of these mini cuffs wrap around lightly so that as soon as you are in the water you can barely feel that you have them on! I was also delighted to discover that as a buoyancy belt it does fit around my waist, giving me more options to work out in the deep end of the pool.

I like using the Hydro-Fit Mini-Cuffs during my Deep Water Aerobics workout. They provide resistance in the water which strengthens my legs. The product is durable and very easy to use. I like these better than the larger ones as they are not as bulky. This is my second pair as the other wore out after many years of use at least two nights a week.

I am so glad I ordered the Mini Cuffs. The bigger ones would not have worked well for me as they are so bulky. These keep me up just enough but I still have to work. Loved working out with them.

I exercise in the pool at the Y every day. I needed to step up my workout. A friend told me about these cuffs. I mistakenly ordered the regular size, which were too bulky for me. But after exchanging them for the minis, I wouldn't be without them when I work out. Already feeling the effects in my legs and butt.

Rating this a 5 as I have used them in the past at my former pool and really liked them and saw they held up well with tons of use. I have not been able to use them in my new pool (which does not offer any leg weights/floats) as I have a case of poison ivy and cannot go into the pool!
