Benefits of ankle and wrist weights

According to livestrong.com, ankle weights are used to make the muscles work harder to do the same motion. It also increases the overall endurance, improving pulmonary and cardiovascular health, while burning calories. Wrist weights, on the other hand, help tackle both aerobic exercise and strength training, mentioned woman.thenest.com. As you do aerobic exercise with wrist weights, it increases oxygen use and calorie burning by approximately five to 15 per cent, as compared to doing the same exercise without weights.
