Weighted ankle braces have become a popular tool for improving workouts and increasing endurance.

You can use Perpetual’s ankle weights for walking, running (adding weight during our runs increases our heart rate and improves our cardiovascular performance), swimming in the pool, yoga, weight lifting, calisthenics (push-ups, squats, sit-ups, etc), toning, climbing, rehabilitation physical therapy or any physical and fitness activity.

What to consider when buying an ankle brace with weights?

Different weights

Our weighted anklets are available in a wide range of weights, from 0.5 kg to 10 kg. It is important to choose a weight that is appropriate for your fitness level and training goals. If you are a beginner, it is advisable to start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you become accustomed to the exercise.

Material and comfort

Weighted ankle braces should be comfortable to wear and made of durable, wear-resistant materials. Look for soft, breathable materials that prevent chafing and ensure a secure fit during your workouts. Neoprene is the most commonly used material due to its durability and comfort.

Velcro fastening and adjustment

Our weighted ankle braces have a secure and easy-to-use fastening system, such as Velcro or buckles. The fit should be firm but comfortable, preventing the weights from slipping during exercise and causing injury.

Common uses of ankle weights

Walking and running

Adding weight to your ankles can increase the intensity of activities such as walking and running, helping you burn more calories and improve cardiovascular endurance.

Arm and shoulder training

By wearing the anklets on your wrists, you can increase the intensity of exercises such as push-ups, rowing and shoulder raises, improving strength and toning biceps, triceps and deltoids.

Low impact activities

Weighted ankle braces can also be used in low-impact activities such as yoga and pilates, increasing resistance and challenge in specific postures and movements.
