Product Information

Great for calisthenics. Doing lower body workouts with just your bodyweight will eventually leave you behind in terms of strength, muscle definition, and hypertrophy. But with the Monkey Feet, you can consistently improve your leg strength with calisthenics without feeling like you have to play catch-up. Certain calisthenic skill progressions, like the L-Sit and V-Sit, can also be improved with Monkey Feet. Despite being made of plastic and weighing just over one pound, the AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet can hold up to a 160-pound dumbbell. It fits shoe sizes up to a men’s 14, and the 14.488-inch ratchet strap and 4.724-inch mounting hole strap enable you to get a customized fit. Jake doing Leg Extensions with the Animalhouse MonkeyFeet By having some static between the set-up and the lift, you can often start to choose other exercises to take the place of using the Monkey Feet because of convenience (ex: just grabbing dumbbells for RDLs instead of setting up single-leg hamstring curls). Magnetotherapy is a physical therapy based on the application of specific magnetic fields on the human body, indicated for the treatment of pain and also of inflammations and oedemas. Clinical studies have demonstrated that magnetotherapy can be effective in the treatment of osteoporosis and to promote both fracture sealing and soft tissue repair and healing.

AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet could be the solution for you if you’ve been working out in your home gym and aren’t seeing the muscle growthyou’d like in your legs and glutes. This unique attachment clamps onto any dumbbell handle at least five inches wide and allows you to perform isolated lower-body exercises you can’t do with barbells or dumbbells alone. https://youtube.com/watch?v=U6sbjTvIuE4 Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: The ULTIMATE Versatility?!? — Animalhouse MonkeyFeet Review (2023) (https://youtube.com/watch?v=U6sbjTvIuE4) AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet Highlights Saves space. The convenience of the Monkey Feet is great. It’s a small, lightweight item, and when you’re done with it just move it out of the way. It is also noteworthy that Monkey Feet have been adopted into ATG (Athletic Truth Group) as a piece of equipment that can be used to promote strength, health, and recovery and to train safely.To date, Monkey World has rescued 123 primates from the pet trade in the UK, and the trade has expanded rapidly in recent years, leaving the centre with a waiting list of over 150 monkeys waiting for a home. The centre cannot keep up with the demand for housing, having built two specialist houses at the park which were both filled within six weeks of completion. As Monkey World’s most chronic problem over its 34 year history, the team are pleased to finally see an end to the tragic trade of pet monkeys. Home gym owners who don’t have the space or budget for cable, leg extension, or hamstring curl machines will enjoy using AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet to hit quad movements, glute exercises, and hamstring exercisesin ways you can’t target with barbellsor dumbbells. Each AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet attachment can hold up to a 160-pound dumbbell, so anyone from beginnersto advanced lifters can use them. Strap Length If you work out in a home gym and are bored with doing the same lower body exercises over and over, an AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet attachment can help you add more variety to your leg days. This innovative tool can hold up to a 160-pound dumbbell and allows you to do isolation movements you would otherwise need, say, a leg extension machineto do. Monkey Feet work by attaching dumbbells to your feet to perform exercises, and it goes without saying that you need dumbbells. Not only do you need dumbbells, but there are also some limiting factors that means not every dumbbell will work.

You only need one. Obviously, two would be ideal for a few of the exercises I’ve mentioned (and maybe some I haven’t). But really, you just need one Monkey Foot to get by for the most part. Just switch shoes between sides. Most fixed or adjustable dumbbells will work with AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet. The handle must be at least five inches long and smaller than 1.45 inches in diameter. However, if you use heavy dumbbells with large rubber heads, the AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet may leave scuff marks on the heads. How much weight should I use with AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet?All primates that have thumbs have opposable thumbs. An opposable thumb is a thumb that can move freely and independently. This mobility allows primates to grasp something. But the range of precision and development of this grasping ability varies between species. For instance, baboons have highly developed opposable thumbs in comparison to people. So, apes have shorter thumbs, while their other digits are longer, meaning they rely on their long fingers for most of the gripping power and control. Hands and Feet: Old World Monkeys Use caution when starting out! You will be surprised at how strange it feels to have a heavy dumbbell strapped to the bottom of your foot. This is different from a machine or bodyweight exercise. To stay safe, start with a lighter weight and move to a heavier weight once you “get” how it all works. New to Footmonkey and continuing with our push to banish pain and injury we have secured a magnetotherapy bed. I thought they were great for leg extensions. I tried to do a lying hamstring curl and flipping over was a little awkward. I don't know that I'd recommend that to a client. I briefly played around with high knees and liked that as well. All the exercises felt heavier than I expected. I'm coming off a bit of a knee injury (but am a pretty strong person) and leg extensions with just 5lbs toasted me. For that reason, I don't think the bigger weights will be coming out to play with MonkeyFeet much, which is different than what I expected since I associate heavier weights with lower body movements. One AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet attachment weighs a mere 1.2 pounds. While we don’t know its exact dimensions, you can rest assured that it’s pretty compact when not loaded with a dumbbell. For reference, we’d say it’s about the same size as a woman’s ankle boot. Materials

The foam inside the attachment prevents hard plastic from digging into your feet and Achilles. This small but mighty tool can be an excellent option for those who can’t fit large machines in their home gym space. Size and Weight If you train at a commercial gymwith a wide selection of selectorized and plate-loaded machines, you likely won’t need AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet since you can use the machines to isolate your lower body muscle groups. Individuals who don’t do a lot of traditional strength training won’t have much use for an AnimalHouse MonkeyFeet attachment. This product isn’t the same as an ankle weightyou can wear for walkingor running and isn’t designed for high-impact, dynamicworkouts.Takes some getting used to. The Monkey Feet feel pretty awkward at first. You should only put it on when you’re in position for its dedicated exercise(s). You don’t want to walk around with this thing on! It’s also not exactly comfortable… not that it’s supposed to be.
