Eight years ago, if you'd told me I'd be writing an ankle weights review and raving about the benefits of low intensity exercise, I'd probably have laughed at you. My routine was about heavy weights, high intensity exercise, and treading the thin line between exhaustion and elation post-workout. While highly beneficial in some ways, pushing myself to the limit every time I decided to exercise just wasn’t sustainable for me.
So, I turned to forms of exercise that would help me build muscle but keep my stress hormones from spiking each time it was time to return to the mat. Pilates, Barre, walking, swimming and exercising with ankle weights all became part of my weekly fitness routine, interspersed with slow, sustainable weight training to help keep me strong through to my golden years.
