Ankle weights are so HOT and in!  WEARABLE WEIGHTS are not your momma's old fashioned leg weights though!  We are a much better mouse trap.  When Jen and I began our research over three years ago on ankle-weights- one of the premier fashion/fitness bloggers The Skinny Confidential- Lauren Evarts wrote a great article- Keeping it Sexy with Ankle Weights! 

Lauren talks about traditional ankle weights which we are NOT but nonetheless the value of them is clear.  She loves them and uses them in every possible application.  Everybody is adding ankle and wrist weights to their workouts- Pure barre added Empower classes a few years ago- but let's be honest those weights are awful.  You use the "pile of weights" that everybody else has sweated on- not hygienic.  Guilty as charged- I am prejudice I like my own sweat next to my skin.  My Wearable Weights are mine and I can wash them. PERIOD. 

Mind/Body workouts are amazing but you can start to mentally check out and adding a bit of resistance makes you check back in.  NO cheating.  I had clients that forever cheated never fully realizing their potential.  These modalities are difficult there is no machine that pushes you - you have to push yourself and put yourself in the most uncomfortable position of (pain) and Wearable Weights get you there faster.  Selena Gomez's trainer told us "you guys really have something here I tried out the weights this weekend and love them!! Since they cover more body surface than regular ankle weights I was able to engage more muscles! Love that they are light but powerful!"

Creator of one of the most incredible franchises in history aka Pure Barre told us we are better because we lay on the muscles. "I believe in the concept of distributing the weight like you’ve done rather than it sitting on the ankle or wrist bone."  Boom.  Exactly, we are the very first vertical weights as opposed to horizontal weights so we do not lay on the joints!

"I think they are amazing" says Bishop a prominent fashion fitness blogger. 

Lauren Evarts said.." I wear my sexy weights while I’m cooking, cleaning, doing laundry" 

Bottom line ...invest in a pair of Wearable Weights...your arms and legs will thank you.  No brainor.  Easy investment to great health and to the new " boobs" aka the biceps and of course the perennial favorite the Booty!
