Walking with Weights

 

Question:
Is it a good idea to walk with ankle weights?

Answer:
NO!!!!
When you walk with ankle weights it alters your gait (your pattern of walking) putting you at risk for hip, knee and ankle problems.

It is ok to do floor work with ankle weights such as slow leg lifts and other moves. It gives you more resistance and will help build muscle. Just don't walk with them on.
