Wrist weights
Wrist and ankle weights are an important part of the Sports Pharmacy > Training Equipment category, as they provide additional resistance during exercises for the arms, legs, shoulders, core and conditioning. They are used for home workouts, recreational training, functional exercises and gradual muscle strengthening programs.
This category includes products such as wrist and ankle weights with fixing strap red 2x450 g and wrist and ankle weights with fixing strap green 2x650 g. Wrist and ankle weights are attached with a strap and allow practical performance of various exercises with added resistance.
Wrist and ankle weights do not replace a properly planned workout, warm-up and gradual increase in intensity, but they can be useful support for people who want to improve strength, endurance and muscle activation. In case of injury, joint pain, balance problems or chronic conditions, professional advice is recommended before use.

Pharmacist’s advice
Use wrist and ankle weights gradually and choose the weight according to your fitness level. The fixing strap should be stable enough, but not too tight so it does not interfere with circulation. Avoid sudden movements, jerks and overly long use during the first workouts. In case of joint pain, swelling, injury, tingling, weakness, dizziness or chronic conditions, consult a doctor, physiotherapist or pharmacist.
