Can these wrist weights be used for the ankles?

I use them for ankles and wrists. The only concern is to make them a little (+ 2 small waits) heavier for your ankles, so I usually do the ankle exercises at different sessions than wrists. This way I avoid changing in the middle of exercising.Enjoy!

For females they are way too big for wrists so I would think so. I doubt they would fit a mans ankle I just checked them and they fit a woman's ankle fine but too big for their wrists. I wouldn't buy them again. Nicely made though.

Although these are designed to fit the wrists, they do fit around my ankles. So I have to say yes ... unless one has very large ankles. They are only two pounds per weight cuff ... not much weight for the legs but I guess you have to start some where. All Pro makes weight cuffs for the ankles as well. I also own their 1/2 to 10 pound set of ankle cuffs and love them. I wear them while doing my chores around the house and certainly get a good leg work out.

No. I bought them just for my ankles with the understanding that is what the product is for.

I have the weights that have 5 2-lb. weights for each ankle. Though it might vary depending on how many of the weights you've inserted, I just measured one that I had 2 2-lb. weights in... It can be tightened enough for my 7 1/2" ankles and loosened to accommodate 22"! At first I thought I wouldn't be able to tighten them enough, but I found that I can fold back the part with the rings (only using one set of rings) and get them tight enough this way. They're good weights and easy to use!

Absolutely Yes. Very Simple to use. Just set the height of the person and lock in ankles, and your set to go.

No they would be for strengthening your biceps and shoulders. Gradual increases in bar bell weights and flexing your wrists forward, rotating, and backward would be the best way to build wrist strength.

Yeah they would be fine for small wrist. This is because you can simply wrap them around as many times as you would need to. With that said, these wrist supports suck.

I think they would work on kids 5 and up. If they slip off their wrist, ankles work just as we'll. I put one on my wrist and on on the opposite ankle and suffered no bites.

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

Yes, you could use them. They are nice weights and could be used by either male or female.

I used the 2 lb. weights on my ankle, unfortunately I cannot categorically say it will fit on a small wrist.

I would say no. It is better used to wrap around a pole, like smething on your weight bench, and then your ankle. Bring your leg back and exercise your muscles using the resistance the band creates. You can also step into the band each end wrapping around your ankle, and walk sideways across the floor and back, again using the resistance to strengthen muscles. That's how I use them. Good luck.

You are receiving a pair of ankle/wrist weights. Have a look at the shipping weight for this product. You will see that it is 10.1 pounds total. That would imply that each "cuff" weighs five pounds and that each of the ten individual bars in each cuff weighs one-half a pound.

I have a "regular" that fits average people of average buoyancy (adjustable belt goes from skinny to pretty heavy easily). These are not shoes like my older set, they are ankle wraps as far as I can see. No weights, floatable foam (resistance from water gives you workout, not weights. Same for dumbells- foam. Youtube offers videos of product.

They probably are if you want them to fit snugly. But that doesn't mean they will fall past your foot. And you could always wrap a small towel or clothing around your ankle first.

I think they would be far too bulky and uncomfortable for that use, perhaps if you were just going to sit in a chair and use them, than okay, but certainly not if you are planning on doing anything. I could not use these on my wrists if I wanted to, they were bulky for my ankles I cannot imagine using them in that fashion, but again, it would depend on how how big your wrist is.

I think the ankle support would help your ankles.It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

Biomechanically running and walking wearing ankle weights is bad on the knees and feet. It would be better if you used them to do leg raises on the floor to strengthen all the muscles around the hip and knee, and also for abdominal work. Good luck!
