Weighted gloves...harmful if used frequently?

Question by Kael: Weighted gloves...harmful if used frequently?
Well, I've recently bought a pair of weighted gloves, and was wondering: Is it harmful to leave them on all the time?

I've heard people say it stretches out your tendons, or something like that, but I'm still not sure.

Thanks in advance.


Best answer:
You honestly don't need them at all. Not only can it affect your tendons but it can put added strain on your wrist joints which will harm you in the long run. The only people who really need weighted anything are highly trained athletes and they don't wear them all the time. Your own body weight(or if you're lifting something,) is enough resistance.
