Will wearing ankle an wrist weights help burn more calories?

Question

I put 5lbs on my ankles an 2lbes on my wrist an walked for 30 mins... Will they help out any>? I aint ever used them..

Answer 1

If you previously walked 30 minutes at a time, absolutely will extra weight burn more calories. IF you walked for the same distance as well.

Your'e doing more overall work, and burning more calories as a result.

The more weight, the more calories burned, as long as you walk the same distance. After all, you can "walk" 10 feet in 30 minutes and that wouldn't be much of a workout. if you walk 3 miels in 30 minutes, that would be quite a workout.

Answer 2

Yes, the added weight will help you burn more calories, and develop more muscle. Take it easy, though, until your body adjusts to the added weight. I'd go with 2 lbs on the ankles, & 1lb on the wrists. Be aware that with the additional weight, you should avoid sudden or vigorous movement with your arms or legs.

Answer 3

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Answer 4

YES!!!! Its adding more weight for your body to pull... more energy is required hence you burn more calories! The more the better but don't push it! You should gradually add a few more pounds as you go on to increase the effort you have to put in and so your body doesn't addapt to that... the more you change it up the better results you'll get!!!! Make your body work! :)

Answer 5

In a sense, you are working a bit harder wearing them and increasing muscle strength, thus burning a few more calories. But not a significant value.
