Ankleweights are one of the best ways in which to add resistance to yourlower body training, by targeting certain muscle groups. The leg andhip joint are like a lever and fulcrum. With the hip being the fulcrum,the farther away the weight, the harder it is to lift and balance. Thesame can be said for the knee joint as well. By adding a minimum amountof weight, the leg muscles must exert considerable effort to lift andbalance the weights, which provides maximum results.
Each 10 lb ankle weight is 5 lbs - the pair is 10 lbs total
