Intended for land-based exercise. Features: Consists of one pair of 1.5kg adjustable ankle cuffs with 10 removable weighted rods per cuff (1.5kg max per leg). This allows each cuff to be customised for ankle weight. The tough nylon exterior of the cuff is well stitched and holds the rods in place. The weighted rods come in weight increments which are reasonable for most therapy levels. Weights are evenly distributed around the ankle. The cuff feels soft against the skin, they have Velcro closure, are easy to fasten and fit snuggly around different sized ankles. A great rehab item – helps improve muscle strength, muscle tone and stamina through load bearing or gait training exercises. No–nonsense design and well-priced. Can be easily rolled up and transported in a small bag How heavy should ankle weights be? For home exercisers, if the plan is to wear ankle weights as part of a daily workout routine or during day-to-day activities, aim for around 1-3 lbs (up to 1.5kg). Too much weight is stressful on the joints, but just enough could add some more intensity for muscles to work through. It is not recommended to wear ankle weights every day as this can be an unnecessary strain on your joints and cause over-use injuries. Ankle weights should be used a couple of times a week, for short periods. (tomsguide.com 2025)
