Packaging: It came in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box that said Yoga on it. kzbin.infoUgkxZkaD2JsPC-fUMkF3vxJ2echoiXZ3T9aM I didn't like how it let possible package thieves know what might be contained inside but great packaging otherwise. The yoga mat came rolled up in a plastic wrap, which was fairly easy to remove.Contents: I got the green yoga mat and it came with an adjustable velcro carrying strap already secured to the mat. There was also a warranty card. There was a bit of a plastic smell coming form the yoga mat but it quickly dissipated after using it once.I've only used the yoga mat twice so far but I am loving it. It's such a game changer to my work outs, especially compared to my bed and floor, haha! I can confirm that it very thick, slip resistant, and comfortable. i didn't look at the dimensions prior to buying the mat, but it is so much longer than I expected! Width is normal size in my opinion. I don't know if it really is tear resistant yet... only time will tell!

[@dylan.j.schreiner]

If you experience knee or ankle pain walk backwards until they stop hurting. Walking backwards up stairs or dragging something along the ground will build up your knees. Doing "toe lifts" or rather shin lifts with your butt against a wall to strengthen the shins will also do wonders for the knees and ankles, and even lower back. Toe lift means the forefoot lifts off the ground. This comprehensively deels with pain from ankle weights or high activity in general.

I am 14 years old and I use ankle weights for resistance in acceleration excercises and sprinting. This works for me, and have made my acceleration a lot better! I also use them for skill moves etc. They are 2.5 lbs each, and the only thing I have experienced is a tiny bit of pain in my knee joints. Other than that I would definetly recommend using ankle weights for individual practice!!

Be careful. The dribbling is one thing, but running in them can lead to injury. I'm not saying stop, just be careful.

I would honestly stop doing that. From everything I've read, you don't want to run or walk in them.

[@Decimator-jh4gu]

@@SimplySoccer I will tell you, you can wear them, but only for a limited time a day. They help me also through my nerve damage in my lower back from a devastating car accident. The weight pulls my ankles, legs, knees and L4, L5 and S1 and believe me, it helps greatly with pulling my lower vertbrate downward, allowing my trapped nerve/s to be freed and less trapped. The weight I use mostly is 1.5 pounds on each leg or 2 pounds will work as well. Don't wear them all day, but you can wear them a workout session. About 3 to 4 hours is perfect for 4 to 5 days a week for most people.
