What You Should Know about Wrist Weights

Which Muscles Do Wrist Weights Work Out?

Adding wrist weights to your workout routine could help target the following muscles:

– Triceps: You work your triceps when you extend and bend your forearm. Wrist weights can increase resistance and speed up the building of muscles.

– Biceps: Wrist weights can help you get toned biceps more quickly. Avoid too heavy weights to prevent injuries. The recommended weights should be around 1 to 3 pounds.

– Shoulders: The shoulder muscles of women are not as wide and thick as these of men. However, having toned shoulders can show off the body when wearing thin-strapped dresses or tank tops. Running or walking with wrist weights can help you achieve this fitness goal through back-and-forth movements. [5]
