At FitXR, we want every workout to be fun, effective, and most importantly, safe. While some members look for ways to make their sessions more challenging by adding extra resistance, we don’t recommend using wrist or ankle weights during your workouts. These accessories may seem like a good way to increase difficulty, but they come with a higher risk of strain or injury, especially in the fast and dynamic movements common in VR training.
If you’re looking to add an extra challenge, the best alternative is a weighted vest. This option distributes the added weight evenly across your torso, helping maintain proper posture and balance throughout the workout. It also works much better in a VR environment, where unrestricted arm and leg movement is key for comfort and safety.
A weighted vest enhances your training without compromising form or increasing the risk of joint stress, making it the ideal choice for those wanting that extra touch of intensity.
Remember, safety always comes first and consistent training will always lead to better results over time.
