Buying ankle weights in the UK?

[Vanilla]

Does anyone know where I can buy heavier ankle weights in the UK? I need at least 10lb weights. I have had a good look online but can't find anything over 5 lb.

The only place i have ever seen these is in the Argos catalogue, not sure what the weight is though.
Good luck:heart:

Thanks, Eddie. The Argos catalogue only sells lighter weights, unfortunately :(.

you may have to look online first at the shops that sell weight training gear.

Thanks Pepsi. I've had a look at several online shops but haven't found the weights I'm looking for. Are there any shops you would recommend?

Vanilla, I think your best bet would be to talk to a body building/fitness specialist store.They are usually called things like Workout World or Body Fitness and they sell a wide variety of weights and supplements. Some of them even sell hi-protein low carb bars (though they do taste hideous!)

[Vanilla]

Thanks for that information, K_karate. I'll see if I can find one of those stores.

Decathlon, a UK sports chain, stocks ankle weights of varying degrees.

I just had a look at Decathlon online, and would you believe their heaviest ankle weightsare only 2kg? Perhaps I'm looking for something which doesn't exist :(.

[SylviaUK]

Sorry Decathlon couldn't help, Vanilla :( Maybe you should ask in the fitness forum? At least someone there might be able to say whether they even exist.

Hiya try these links..

google search for 10lb ankle weights (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=10lb+ankle+weights&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB) and then the first item is here (http://www.healthy2day.com/ap-xt0075.htm) its a .com although I did a UK only based search - see if they can help.

Either that can't you use two on each leg?

Thanks Sarah - I was searching for ankle weights and never thought to put the weight in! Sylvia - I'm trying the fitness forum too.

I've already got two weights on each leg, and can't fit any more on! I've tried using the two weight and strapping on a dumbell, but it's not very comfortable.

Thanks to your help I think I've finally found stockists!
