These weights are a waste of time. To achieve the same effect in a fraction of the time try the following exercise: Place one hand flat on the table, and with a rolling pin in the other hand, repeatedly smash it against the table.
Note: To then perform this exercise other hand you will need another person to wield the rolling pin/frying pan.

The pianist has bad scale technique! The fingers are way too straight in my opinion.

And she is playing the scales waaaay too slowly, doesn't show how it achieves speed, and I doubt any well known pianists in history used those... Stupid comemrcialisation!
