Are ankle weights good when working out?

[Anonymous]

Any good workouts to build muscle in the legs quad area? At home!!

Yes, but be careful how you use them. If the weights are to heavy and you have never used them before don't do to many reps in one set. I would do three sets of 6-8 to start and then work your way up to three sets of 12-15. don't rush as you can hurt your inner and outer thigh area.

I use ankle weights from time to time and it increases my workout...most of the time.

They can help as in instead if using the leg machines at the gym? My membership got cancelled so I want to tone my legs up!

[thatbuffedkid]

Woh. Not that much, but for toning up. They work like hulk, we use weight belts tied on our feets often when moving down weight class

Ideally, yes, but you know I got the hand weights, just 2 lbs and let me tell you, I've hurt my hands and fingers TWICE with pain and swelling. Start small and go slowly.
