Ankle Weights for Beginners
Training
Danison De Guzman Asked 12 years ago
Hi! Thank you very much for every tutorials :D
Is ankle weight advisable for beginners like me? I played about a couple of weeks ago and I am an 8th grader student. If it is advisable then how many kg should I buy? 1kg? 1.5kg? 2kg? 0.5kg?
And speaking of weights, is wrist weight also advisable? Thank you very much!

Hi Danison,
I don’t think it is advisable to use these. You are better to learn your stroke well with out any weights. The weight puts a downward pressure on your arm whereas later you want resistance on a different plane rather than downwards.

Thank you very much for the fast reply! :D I am very glad!
But how about the ankle weight? Is it advisable to increase my footwork and foot speed?
This again is a different stress. It is more about being able to move sideways more effectively.
