Power Walking Benefits

Power Walking Benefits

Looking to increase the intensity of your average walk? Use Toney Bands walking weights for men and women!


As they say, a little difference can go a long way. Research shows that simply adding 1lb wrist and/or arm weights while you walk will simply and safely power up your work out by making you consciously swing your arms more. This can increase your heart rate by 5-10 beats per minute, as well as oxygen intake by 5 - 15%. You may be wondering why specifically wearable weights and not hand-held weights, and that is because they don’t have to be gripped. Gripping a hand-held weight will cause you to swing your arms to a greater degree compared to wrist weights,  and as a result it can increase your oxygen intake and calorie expenditure by roughly two-thirds. This is known in some cases to cause exaggerated blood pressure responses as a result of putting in extra effort. You can simply and safely power up your walk with Toney Bands weighted arm bands and weighted wrist bracelets. Work out at night? Use our toneywalkers with led lighted weights! Walking weights with lights will not only light up your path, it will also alert others of your presence. This makes it safer and easier for yourself and others to see the surrounding area at night to avoid any casualties.
