If you are thinking about adding Ankle weights to maximize your workouts, but are not sure if they are really for you, I would suggest you try Da Vinci ankle weights. They are among the most comfortable options so you will actually use them.
There can be many reasons why your workouts are not getting you all the results you want, but I can guarantee that by adding Da Vinci ankle weights , (or wrist weights), your outcomes can only improve. That’s what I found when I started using Ankle Weights.
I did not need to change my resistance workouts at all – I did exactly the same as I always did. I just had extra weight on my wrists and ankles, and therefore, felt like I was doing more (which technically I was). If you want some new workout ideas with ankle weights check out the video below.
You can simply use the ankle weights, or if you prefer use both ankle and wrists weights simultaneously to get the full effect. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I didn’t actually notice them there!
Da Vinci Ankle weights fit securely
The Da Vinci Ankle Weights did not get in the way or slide up and down my arms or legs, although some users report movement if they have very slim wrists. The same weights can be used on the ankles and the wrists, which is handy so no precious workout time is wasted making sure that the right weight was placed on the right limb.
I definitely found them among the most comfortable and most stable of any ankle or wrist weight I have ever worn. They feel more like a comfortable (albeit heavy) item of clothing, than an actual piece of exercise equipment.
Initially I was wondering if adding weights worked as well as people claimed, but my subsequent inability to walk properly or lift things above my head after my workout answered my question. The change is definitely noticeable.
Funnily enough, while I am wearing these Da Vinci ankle weights, I no longer really feel like I am wearing them. Because these are adjustable ankle weights, I am able to fit them securely and just kind of get into the rhythm of my exercises, and my muscles basically get used to needing to lift additional weight.
If anything, being able to choose the right weight level, along with a comfortable fit is what I would say are the common features in the best ankle weights.
There is no point in having them if they are so uncomfortable or so obvious that you find yourself only halfheartedly exercising. So this was a definite plus with these Da Vinci ankle weights.
Smart Fabric Choice reduces sweating
They also did not get completely gross like I expected. I recall reading reviews about the absorbent materials which stop you sweating, so I would say that this would explain it. Either way, I appreciated the fact that I was not completely repulsed when it came time to take them off.
Unlike other wrist weights on the market, these are filled with a grainy sand-like substance. This is beneficial because it is flexible and there is less chance of you bruising yourself when you inadvertently knock into a wall or against other exercise equipment, (which happens more often than I would like to admit).
The seals seem really durable and well stitched so I have not had any problem with leakage, but I do take care not to damage the soft fabric surrounds. I have seen other users comment that the “sand like” filler has leaked so taking care of the fabric is probably important with these weights.
So for a good value ankle weight set that can also be used comfortably on your wrists, I highly recommend Da Vinci Ankle Weights. You can easily choose your desired weight, and upgrade as your strength increases. Options from 1 lb to 5 lbs are available.
