Ankle weights- 5 or 10lb?

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know what kind of ankle weights to get? In Cathe's Legs and Glutes, she's wearing them, but doesn't mention what weight they are. Any suggestions??

Cathe wears 2# ankle weights in Butts and Guts, and I think she uses the same weight (or 2.5#) in Legs and Glutes.

My suggestion is to get adjustible ankle weights. I have a set of 5# (each) ankle weights from Ironwear( www.ironwear.com ) that also can be worn above the knee, or attached to make a weight belt. They go from .5 pound to 5# in 1/2-pound increments (and the heavy rubber weights don't rust like metal or leak like sand can. The weights also fit their weight vests.

I second the vote for adjustable ankle weights. Dick's Sporting Goods sells some that allow you to increase or decrease the weight by inserting weight rods into little pockets. Everything velcros closed and I find this type of weight to be the best way to go.

Kathryn,

The Ironwear website is for heavy duty boots and tarps and gloves...do I have the wrong site?? They even have waders for fishermen or something... =)

Thanks for the information though! I appreciate being able to find such a quick reply!

Oops! That's not it! (though waders might work for Drill Max!)

Thanks for the new web address! That was really funny to go to the other website first.
