I could be wrong on this, but I don't think she is wearing weighted gloves. I think it's been stated somewhere else that they are regular gloves and her wrists are wrapped with black sports tape. I'll try to find that post for you. I would imagine that you could use the sports tape though to wrap the weighted gloves and give you a little more support/grip. Hopefully someone else will chime in here soon for you too! 
They really look like the weighted gloves because I can see the zippers were you insert the weights

Magda,
Yes, they are weighted gloves in that are used in STS. I think Liann is referring to Cathe's kickboxing workouts, where they wrapped their hands (correct me if I'm wrong, Liann?).
I don't whether the 2lb weighted gloves have a closed palm, because they haven't been released for sale yet. Only Cathe or SNM can answer that, I suppose. The 1lb weighted gloves that are now sold out on ShopCathe.com have an open palm. Personally I like to do as you say and wear my fitness gloves underneath the 1lb FBC weighted gloves. It keeps the weighted gloves from slipping around, and gives me protection on my palms.

Yeah, that is probably what I was thinking of. I wish I could find that post (found it and yes it's just the KB workouts she has never worn them in! I read it as all workouts.). The weighted gloves are probably the ONLY Cathe accessory that I do not have. I think I would prefer ones that have a closed palm too though. Sandra - are the weighted gloves roomy enough to fit fitness gloves underneath without too much effort?
p.s. I saw this thread in the "New Posts" section and didn't even notice that it was in the STS forum. I really have to remember to look up what forum the post is in when I click on it from there.

Amber Liann,
Yes, I find the weighted gloves fit perfectly over my fitness gloves. They work together very well. When I don't need the additional micro-pounds I can quickly slip off the weighted gloves, and I still have the hand protection offered by the fitness gloves. I also found that the weighted gloves are slipping on and off much easier now than when I first bought them. Or I've just gotten used to how to get them on and off easily.
When they release the 2lb gloves for sale, I won't be hesitating to purchase.

At first, I thought Cathe and crew had different weighted gloves than the ones they are selling because they had the fabric palm. I was disappointed when I received mine and saw it was an open palm. But, in one of the meso 1 workouts, I could see the blue of the Cathe fitness gloves on Jai's hands underneath the weighted gloves so they are using both sets of gloves. That's what I'm doing now and it's working out pretty well. I can get in and out of the weighted gloves pretty quickly and just slip them on when needed.
