Using neoprene or other synthetic fibers to hold weights in place over large muscle groups is a relatively new form of weight system. The significant improvement over traditional weights is that it distributes the mass of the weight over areas of the body that can easily support it. This reduces the likelihood of muscle and/or tendon strain common with ankle and wrist weights that pull the limbs.

Common integrated weight systems can apply weight to the biceps, forearms, thighs and calves and may be used with or without weighted vests. Frequently they can be hidden under regular clothing allowing the individual to enhance their daily routine with additional calorie burn.

The new (U.S. Patent #7,090,624 B1) Kinesifit performance enhancement system wraps around the core muscle groups as though the body naturally gained weight. Weight can be added or removed easily. It is designed for comfort and can be used at home, at work, or during workouts. The system is also water resistant and can be used for swimming fitness.

The newly patented most advanced weight system by Kinesifit is designed to provide effective weight loss and high impact results. The Kinesifit calorie burning Performance Enhancement GearTM provides maximum comfort while working the 4 major muscle groups in the body’s upper and lower extremities.

Arm Weights- Bicep and forearm weights are another method of adding weight close to the core beyond that of a weighted vest, or to add resistance to the shoulders with less danger to the elbows than wrist weights or the added biceps/triceps strain.

The forearm and bicep weights are pictured above in open and closed position.  The arrows show the proper placement of the weight wraps for maximum effectiveness.

Leg Weights- Calf and Thigh weights are useful in adding weight to pull-ups and dips, especially when incorporating leg raises into the movements. They are also useful in slow kicking motions found in martial arts and static stretching of the legs when balancing on one leg, or suspended in the air. The calf and thigh weights also provide a major advantage in training rotational hip stabilizers, to work on turnout for martial arts (roundhouse kicks) and dance postures.

Ankle weights and wrist weights add weight to parts of the body not intended to support additional weight (wrists and ankles) and causing unnecessary overstress and joint strain resulting in potential injuries.
