Trying to add a little challenge to your workouts? The best ankle weights can be added to pretty much any exercise -- Pilates, barre, strength training, incline walking, or core strengthening, says Denise Chakoian, CPT, owner and founder of CORE Cycle.Fitness.Lagree. You can incorporate ankle weights into a leg-day workout to help isolate the glutes, or you can strap them on during a walk to add some extra resistance to your daily steps. If you're considering adding a pair to your fitness routine, experts say to start small. Also, look for ones with adjustable straps and removable weights so they feel comfortable enough to wear regularly. Below are expert-recommended picks to help bump the intensity of your workouts.
