Looking for a way to easily burn a few extra calories. A healthy, balanced diet combined with some exercise is obviously the best way to weight loss, but what if you don’t have a lot of time to exercise? There are many quick exercises you can do at home and at the office to burn a few extra calories, but what if you are still short on time.

How about trying some ankle weights? Ankle weights are a great, comfortable way to drop a few extra pounds. They can easily be worn under your pants or slacks and can be worn all day at  home or at work.

Heavier people burn more calories so making yourself heavier will allow you to burn more calories. Adding an extra 10 or 20 pounds of weight to your body can burn extra calories all day.

Ankle weights are very inexpensive, a pair of Valeo AW10 10-Pound Adjustable Ankle / Wrist Weights can be found on Amazon for around $15. Ankle weights usually range in 2 lb pairs up to 20 lb pairs.

Before you begin using ankle weights you should consult your physician. If you have joint or muscle problems adding ankle weights to your routine could make the problems worse.

If you are healthy ankle weights are a great way to burn extra calories, work your hamstrings, quadriceps and glutes. It will also provide you with a great cardiovascular benefit, because you’re using more exertion.
