Smaller in size, but no less versatile, Classic Mini Cuffs have half the level of buoyancy and resistance of our HYDRO-FIT Cuffs. Classic Mini Cuffs feature a quick-release buckle closure for an extra firm fit, a great choice for aggressive water workouts.
In shallow or deep water, wearing Mini Cuffs increases the water's resistance, helping you improve muscle tone and aerobic endurance. Mini Cuffs are designed to fit around your ankles, around your arms, on your wrists, even around your waist. When worn as a belt, Mini Cuffs will fit up to a 38" waist. Available in Blue/Black color combination. Sold in pairs. Proudly Made In the USA.
Water exercise is all about moving more water and creating more resistance—an irresistible combination for a great workout. Get more from your workouts with the most versatile water exercise products we make! HYDRO-FIT Cuffs and Mini Cuffs adapt to a wide range of water workouts—from shallow to deep water, from very intense to more moderate and relaxed—and function as four different pieces of water exercise equipment, all in one!
Ankle Cuffs: Underwater, Mini Cuffs work like ankle weights on land, toning and strengthening all the major muscles in your lower body.
Buoyancy Belt: Fasten your Mini Cuffs together to create a comfortable and secure buoyancy belt for deep water exercise and water running. Mini Cuffs' segmented design distributes buoyancy evenly around your torso and fits waists up to 38". Because Mini Cuffs provide only half the level of buoyant support in deep water as HYDRO-FIT Cuffs, it is necessary to wear two pairs, one pair around your ankles and one pair around your waist.
Wrist Cuffs: On your wrists, Mini Cuffs provide the resistance and buoyancy of buoyant barbells to tone and strengthen all the major muscles in your upper body. Our Mini Cuffs hold onto you, you don’t have to hold onto them—less grip, more stability, and secure comfort.
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!
