I remember my mum owning a pair of ankle weights back in the ’90s and when I bought my own about 10 years ago they looked exactly the same—big, bulky, and to be honest, pretty ugly. Thankfully, wearable weights have levelled up since then and a lot of that is down to Bala Bangles coming on the scene in 2018.
Smaller, sleeker, better quality and infinitely more stylish, Bala Bangles were everywhere and, I must admit, they are a big upgrade on the clunky ankle and wrist weights I was used to.
In fact, they are one of the few fitness products that I always recommend to my personal training clients, because they are so versatile, portable and satisfyingly effective.
And now you can buy a 1lb pair with a 30% reduction at Amazon and Walmart— the biggest discount I’ve seen.
You can use these stylish wearable weights during Pilates, yoga, strength training or even on a hike.
Wear them on your wrists to make bird dogs or arm circles more challenging, or around the ankles when you’re doing donkey kicks or lying leg raises.
If you’ve never used Bala Bangles before, start with my wearable weights workout for beginners.
