Figured this is best on the health forum for those who are interested in losing weight or shaping up: Has anyone here ever tried 5 lb. (2-1/2 lb. each) ankle weights while water jogging or doing water aerobics?
I bought some from swimoutlet.com and find that I'm ok after an hour of water jogging and doing water aerobics. In fact, I am ok with no pain the rest of the day after I come up at 3 pm. BUT the next day--after lunch for some reason--it hits me that I have tired muscles, so my only conclusion is that I am ripping tiny muscles and it's working.
Just curious if anyone else has tried this method? Did they keep it up and did they like the results which, hopefully, was one of building muscle strength and tightening up?
I also bought another pair of swim gloves to add resistance to the arm exercises, but I enjoy these things so darn much they are almost like playthings. Of course, I feel it in my back muscles the next day, too. These things also work for me.
