The GoFit Padded Pro Ankle Weights are designed to assist with rehabilitation and enhance lower body strength. Ankle weights are an effective method for adding resistance to lower body training, specifically targeting various muscle groups. The mechanics of the leg and hip joint, acting as a lever and fulcrum, demonstrate that the farther the weight is from the fulcrum (hip), the more challenging it becomes to lift and maintain balance. This principle also applies to the knee joint. By incorporating even a minimal amount of weight, the leg muscles are required to exert significant effort for lifting and balancing, leading to maximum results.
Key features of the GoFit Padded Pro Ankle Weights include:
• Padded ‘soft-touch’ interior for superior comfort.
