An ankle strap for exercising is a useful tool for home and commercial gyms to expand the standard workout. This product can be helpful in targeting difficult to reach inner leg muscles. Though a simple design of sturdy strap that wraps around the ankle comfortably, it allows for resistance exercises to reach up into the inner thigh and access to the hips and butt. These products are offered by many different companies and have the fortunate benefit of being able to fit almost any person's body as they are adjustable.
Not only do they fit almost any person, these products can also fit almost any machine that uses them. Many machines already have a lateral pull chain, and these products can be inserted for the bar and attached around the ankle to target the lower body instead of the upper body. These products can also work with cable cross over machines as well as functional trainers. Many of those machines already come with these products standard, but over time they can become worn out and they need replacing.
There are many different styles and sizes to choose from. The higher end of the price spectrum usually means a handsome leather material with soft and comfortable insulation. These high-end models also feature gold-colored buckles for added style. Most people don't need this much style (not that it's a problem), and other cheaper models certainly work quite well with Velcro straps and padded interior with a vinyl exterior.
Even if you don't own a machine, if you workout a lot, it's a good idea to consider purchasing one for the gym for hygienic reasons.
