Bala hand weights are my preferred weights to use. Instead of having the heavy part at the ends, the weight is evenly distributed through the bar, making them feel more balanced and maneuverability. The weights are covered in an ergonomic cushion, so they are easy to hold and won’t hurt your fingers. Even with my small, arthritic hands, I’m able to hold them securely to hold for warrior pose, do arm curls or even over my head in tree pose. The padding also ads a layer of safety that you don’t get with traditional bar bells.
