4 Bala Bangle Alternatives to Try if You Can’t Get Your Hands on These Instagram-Famous Fitness Accessories
Wrist and ankle weights are nothing new or novel per se—in fact, they’ve been around since the ’80s, as evidenced by the canon of the decade’s workout videos—but Bala Bangle’s super chic wearable weights have truly changed the game, giving the enduring style-forward athleisure movement yet another accessory to sport. The lightweight wearable workout sidekicks are obviously intended to add a little bit of extra resistance to your lunges, squats, pushup, power walks, and virtually any type of exercise you want to make a bit more challenging.
While ankle and wrist weights may have been around forever, they’ve definitely never looked this chic. Thanks to the advent of stylish Bala Bangles (which, aside from their fitness-focused purpose, I would wear as a normal accessory whether I was working out or just trying to jazz up a daytime look) they no longer have to be bulky, or well, downright ugly to reap the benefits.
