Ankle Weights

Adjustable cuff weights can be attached to your ankles or wrists and help build strength. They offer incremental resistance that you can use to increase the level of difficulty in your exercises. Even one pound of extra resistance can make a difference. Because the weights can be wrapped around your wrist or ankles, even individuals with decreased hand or grip function are able to use it for strength training. Be sure to check with your physical therapist before adding extra weight to make sure it’s safe for you.
