Ankle weights are great for giving added resistance to floor exercises for the lower body and the abs.
They are compact, do not take up any space and can be carried anywhere.
Start with ½ kg ankle weights first. Buy the 1 kg pair later only if you really need them.
What’s more, if you go to an online fitness store, you can even buy aqua ankle weights. You fill them with water when you need to use them. Drain off the water and pack them away when you are done.
These are great for people who travel frequently. They can be ordered online www.bodytrends.com
These are non-branded.
Price: They usually cost about Rs 260 for a ½ kg pair and upwards.
