Why weights are necessary for the feet:
- There is an increase in the load on the muscles of the thighs and buttocks.
- Increased tension in the muscles positively affects the work of the cardiovascular and respiratory system.
- Running and walking with weighting for the feet improves the process of burning calories and accumulated fat.
