Ankle weights help with faster weight loss by burning 5 to 15 percent more calories than walking without weights. Weights provide a combination of cardiovascular and strength training, which help build muscle. Making your walking routine harder enables you to spend less time working out. The addition of ankle weights will help tone your calf, thigh and abdominal muscles, buttocks and the back of your legs.
