Benefits of Using Ankle Weights for Weight Loss

Below are some of the key benefits of using ankle weights during your workout sessions for effective weight loss:

1. You Burn Calories Faster

Wearing ankle weights can help you burn more calories and help you lose weight. This can be advantageous, especially if you’re doing aerobic exercises to lose weight. Even when you perform the same cardio exercises, using ankle weights can mix things up and aid calorie-burning. Additionally, ankle weights make your muscles work harder, boosting metabolism and extending the duration of your calorie burn.

2. Better Breathing

People with respiratory illnesses may find comfort with ankle weights. But while running, you must fasten them around your wrists rather than your legs. The additional weight in the upper extremity increases the heart and respiratory rates, which are crucial for healthy breathing and the development of the respiratory muscles. You can add ankle weights to your breathing exercises for more efficiency, but you should consult your doctor first.

3. Improved Stamina

Additionally, ankle weights can improve stamina, mainly when used to prepare for long-distance running. Exercising with ankle weights makes your legs heavier and requires more effort to bring them up. Your heart rate goes up, your calorie expenditure goes up, and your leg muscles get stronger over time.

4. Strengthened Bones and Muscles

To strengthen weak leg bones, doctors typically advise wearing ankle weights. Several doctors have successfully employed this approach to help patients whose weak bones prevented them from running marathons. Ankle weights add resistance to build and sculpt your leg muscles and is a significant advantage to bone health.

They increase the difficulty of specific movements, which makes your muscles work harder and causes your leg muscles to grow. When performing these leg workouts, remember to add ankle weights.

5. Stronger Ab Muscles

Using ankle weights, you may strengthen your core and develop stronger abdominal muscles. They add weight to your legs, increasing resistance when performing ab exercises that involve leg movement. Wear them while performing ab exercises, including lying leg lifts, suspended knee raises, and flutter kicks.
