Ankle weights are a lifesaver to add fun to the workouts. 

I especially recommend ankle weights to people at beginner levels or obese people to add a little difficulty in their workouts.

So how do ankle weights help? 

Ankle weights tone up the body in a way different than working out normally, the reason being the range of motion is entirely different in ankle weights than it is in squatting or lunging.

For obese people, it is somewhat difficult to get complicated cardio or bodyweight movements underway in good speed. By complicated cardio I mean kickboxing, burpees, HIIT and swimming. 

However, to boost results for say 2 months or so, what obese people can do is buy a pair of 5lbs ankle weights and add them to their workout of comparatively simpler movements. What ankle weights do it stress the muscles effectively whether you are just swing kicking or cycling or moving your arms around.

This type of stress reinforces lean muscles which is extremely helpful to burn fat, muscle burns fat while you sleep, while you move the entire day. 

So Why Nike?

I tried on different ankle weights, while some nearly dislocated the heel from the shin, the other scratched the ankles till they bled. 

Nike Ankle weights comparatively offered much more comfort and stabilized much more easily without drooping downwards.

The only disadvantage was 5lbs being the max can get used to in say 2 months. 

However these ankle weights provide as much as 30% better results in the span of 2 months which leads to an awesome start for the obese people in their journey to get lean.

Even martial artists can use the ankle weights while kicking for some improvement on speed.

Top Ten Equipment according to me:

1.) Swiss Ball

Really, it doesn’t get better than that, just a simple add on for much better definition, strength, flexibility, balance and fun.

2.) Medicine Ball

Now this thing requires power building and its variations in ab exercises almost guarantee a six pack pretty quick and the functional strength is increased a hell lot

3.) Rod

HANG! You’ll get taller! and the abs you can do with a rod are pretty fucking good, so are the results for the upper body by chinups/pullups/etc
