Komodo Adjustable Ankle Weights - Max 10kg (5kg Each) Removable 1kg Weight Pouches for Wrist Foot Strength Endurance Training

Product Information

While you can use ankle weights for cardio exercise, there is not a ton of research supporting the benefits of wearing ankle weights to improve aerobic performance or overall calorie expenditure.

As previously mentioned, when used properly, ankle weights can help build your overall endurance. This is because the extra force you exert helps increase your stamina, which in turn helps your cardiovascular and pulmonary health. Tones Your Legs Lastly, soft materials like terry cloth, neoprene, or lycra will provide the most comfort and are the least likely to cause chafing and skin irritation. Durability and Quality Do you enjoy working out in your small UK home? However, have you failed to progress with your limited fitness tools and space?You can choose from 2.5, 5, or 10 pounds per ankle and depending which weight you choose the removable weights will have different removable increments (0.5, 1, and 2 pounds respectively). If you tend to have pain in your ankles, knees, or hips, you may want to avoid using ankle weights — or at the very least seek guidance from a healthcare professional. According to the study, the 1% ankle weight group performed the best, though all weighted groups showed improvement. The 5-pound pair of these ankle weights is bulkier than other options, which makes them less comfortable to use around wrists. But this is also because they feature a higher max weight than many others on our list.

Gaiam advertises these ankle weights as being one size fits most, while they are designed to be a comfortable fit for most, they will not be the perfect solution for all. Keep in mind that there is also a set of 5-pound weights available and comfort level may vary depending on the weight you choose as well. That being said, both pairs are made up of a soft anti-chafe neoprene fabric that allows for a soft gentle feel on the skin. These ankle weights have an easily adjustable fit so that you can get as close to the perfect fit as possible. It may be hard to get a great comfortable fit on smaller ankles and the weight may shift a bit if you cannot tighten them properly. What We Like The downside is, however, that these ankle weights just don’t stay on. Sadly, the Velcro tab is simply not big enough to provide adequate staying power unless you have ankles that are just the right circumference (which we’re guessing is about 10” around from our measurements taken on the inside of the ankle weights with the Velcro tabs attached at their strongest connection point), these fall off if you do anything more than a couple leg lifts.Best for intermediate to advanced exercisers, exercisers looking for heavier ankle weights with adjustable weight, and users looking to save on a five-in-one option. Each bangle is made of a hardcore piece of athletic elastic adorned with eight equal-sized 3 ½” bars of industrial steel encased in a super soft silicone. Four of the bars are fairly rigid in their spacing thanks to a hook-and-loop design that keeps them in place; the other four can be spread out across the rest of the elastic, giving them a flexible fit.
