At 1b and 2b, it’s easy to assume that under 1kg of additional weight could do a whole lot for you. And you’d be wrong, I assure you. A Pilates, dance, or yoga session with ankle or wrist weights is definitely intensified with the additional weight. It can also intensify stretches, which feels fantastic when you’ve been sitting for hours. I discovered Amy’s body flow workout thanks to YouTube and having done it, I can confirm it’s tough but doable, fun but definitely work.
