What type of gloves is Cathe wearing in the new kickboxing workout. Are they weighted?

I don't think they are weighted gloves. If I can remember they are wrapped gloves. Correct me if I am wrong Cathe.

They aren't gloves at all, but wraps, like the kind used by boxers. You can get them at many sporting goods stores, and they come in a variety of colors.

Do they have a purpose?

Hi Rhonda!

Here is the answer Cathe gave when others were asking about the wraps.

"Another question I happened to see was about wearing gloves in this workout. No, we are not wearing gloves, we are wearing wraps. We also taped them up so that they wouldn't accidently unravel during our more aggressive points in the workout. I found these wraps to be very beneficial for focusing on keeping my wrists in proper alignment."

So, basically good form! :7

They look cool!
Other than that, they do absorb sweat, so your hands don't get all sticky icky.
