There are several benefits to using ankle weights. This helps to burn off more calories and improves your heart’s strength and function.
This helps trim and tone your body faster without much extra work or thought.
The right weight for your ankle weights will depend on the activities you are doing while wearing them. Avoid going too heavy with your ankle weights to begin with. If you are unsure of what size to use, consider one of the adjustable sets and start with the lowest weight.
Ankle weights are easy to use. Most varieties attach to the leg with a velcro fastener or velcro strap. They are best worn over your socks, paints, or a pair of leg warmers to prevent uncomfortable chafing.
Tighten the straps enough for a comfortable fit and that they do not move around excessively but loose enough to place a finger in between the weights and your leg to avoid bruising.
