Cuff Weights

Cuff weights are primarily used for securement to the wrist at the distal upper extremity and at the ankle as the distal lower extremity. These weights increase the challenge to the muscles when performing arm movements and when walking, climbing stairs, etc. The added weight, as with all resistance devices, stimulates the piezoelectric mechanism to build bone and muscle in protecting against osteoporosis and muscle atrophy. Both ankle and arm cuff weight increase the cardiovascular stress load helping to develop stamina and cardiovascular fitness in the prevention against cardiovascular disease.

The cuff weights come in various weight amounts (as well as different designs for securement) so you can increase the resistance as your strength and stamina increases.
