A hand and wrist weight assembly has a web with a finger-receiving part, a back section on which a hand weight is mounted along the back of the user's hand, and a wrist section on which a wrist weight, independent of the hand weight and spaced from the hand weight is mounted along the back of the user's wrist. The wrist section has a strap for retaining the assembly on the user's arm. The back section and wrist section are flexible both transversely and longitudinally to permit flexing of the user's wrist while the assembly is in place, and conformance to a part of the user's hand and wrist over which the back section and the wrist section extend. The hand weight and the wrist weight are both soft and complaint to the extend that they will conform to the contours of the back of the hand and the wrist. The wrist weight can take the form of one or more elongated, transversely extending, particle-filled pouches, secured to the wrist section of the web.
