The 3 Best Wrist and Ankle Weights That’ll Help You Build Stronger Bones During Any Walk or Workout
Unlike dumbbells or kettlebells that you have to schlep around (and can stub your toe on), wrist and ankle can truly work with every type of workout that you're doing, from yoga to regular strength training exercises. (Can you say that about a kettlebell? Didn't think so!)
In fact, yoga instructor and founder of The Sweat Method Jess Penesso swears by these sleek pieces of fitness equipment, especially since everyone's been continuing to work out at home since the pandemic. "Wrist and ankle weights are so great to use right now, since many of us cannot get to a gym to lift weights," she says. Her fave ways to incorporate them? "I'm enjoying using them right now to target small muscle groups in my back for strengthening because I'm spending so much time at the computer." She also wears them throughout vinyasa yoga classes for added resistance, or slips on ankle weights for leg and glute exercises like fire hydrants and donkey kicks.
Just, ya know, expect more of a burn when you're rocking these weights. Keep scrolling to shop 'em for yourself.
