Pro Fitness Ankle Weights

I've noticed as i have got older and had children that my lifestyle has changed in many ways. One way i am less impressed by is the extra pounds creeping on around the middle. In the past this might have involved me spending a few hours on the exercise bike or in the swimming pool to try and deal with it, but you try doing that with toddlers in tow.

I also have the problem of when i finally get them to bed and feed my husband and myself our dinner, i then do not feel like ... more

Fool that I am, I am one of the expectant many waiting to see if they have a place in next year's London Marathon. This means getting my training sorted out properly, as it's not just something you'd be able to turn up and take part in, naturally.

Pro Fitness 2 x 2.5lb Ankle Weights On yet another exercise regime a few years back, I decided what I needed, but didn't yet haave, was some ankle weights to aid in the toning and weight loss I so desperately wanted. The cheapest option seemed to be, as it always does for me, going to Argos where the set of two ankle weights cost £7.99 pence which worked out not too bad in comparison to other weights such as this from a branded fitness company. The weights are Velcro strapped and are easily adjustable for different sized ankles. Mine being of the chubby type I was worried that they would feel ... more

As a budding and competitive athlete, although not a very good one, I am always trying new training tools and ideas to improve all aspects of my fitness, strength and performance. For a long time people at the club had used these Pro Fitness Ankle Weights to aid their training and I had always resisted but nevertheless I decided to give them a run as of a late and to be fair they have proved to be quite useful. These weights are designed for various different uses, you can use them underneath trousers for every day chores and walking to take off those extra few calories or you can use them ... more
