With the busy schedules most people have these days most of us are looking for any new way to fit some additional exercise into our regular routines.
Exercise is important for our health, our mental state and it helps us look and feel better. The better we look and feel the more confidence we have and the happier we are. This sounds simple and pretty common sense but it is amazing how much this can make a difference in our day to day lives.

Whether you are trying to lose weight or you want to do some resistance training to tone your muscles, simple styles of weight lifting equipment can help make a difference. Ankle weights and wrist weights are great examples of this.
By wearing either ankle weights and/or wrist weights while preforming normal daily exercises or even normal daily activities you can increase the amount of calories you are burning and increase your muscle strength. If you already take a thirty minute walk each day you can try using ankle weights during this walk to step it up a notch. Or you can wear wrist weights while working around the house doing laundry, or vacuuming to burn additional calories and to work your upper body.
But it is important to make sure you use them correctly. Don't try to overdo it and use weights that are too heavy as this can cause problems down the road. If you start to feel joint pain you should alter the way you are using them, lessen the weight or stop using them until you can talk to a personal trainer. You should feel extra resistance in your muscles when using them but not in your joints. While ankle weights and wrist weights are a good way to increase the resistance in your movements they may not be good for people with joint problems.
But for those with healthy joints they provide an easy and affordable way to burn a few extra calories or strengthen specific muscles. You can actually work a good range of muscles with these body weights from your glutes and hamstrings to your biceps and triceps.
