Power Up

Welcome and let's get started. I will answer your questions on...should I use weights on ankles when training? Where can I use weights and when? What are the expected results? Over the past 20 years, 100's of pro's and  specialist's have commented and studied the subject matter. Findings? Ankle wts. are a NO NO? Will neg. affect your muscle alignment and your balance. Resulting in pulled and strained muscles and loss of speed and endurance. Half lb. wts. above the knee are recommended. Will strengthen the upper leg...especially for the 'close stage.' When the upper leg is tired, you will feel the 'drag.' Also, 1/2 lb. wts. just above the wrist for arm strength and 'pull.' I wear a vest jacket and alternate with parachute once a week. For vest jacket, start with 20 lbs. for 2/3 weeks and then maybe 30 lbs. Never use weights longer than 20 min. continual drill. Hope this helps. Jimmy O www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
