i was at my local sports store and i saw them andd thought should i buy em, but i wanted to ask you guys first, do they work?

[maikis]

ofcourse they work,i'd love to have these.
but i'm not sure that i heard that these also affects knees.

[yann de blaine]

dont do that, it will mess up your ankles.

Ankle weights are used for different exercises like a side-laying leg raise(ex. a dumbell that can wrap around you). Not for extra resistance for running and jumping. They put alot of stress on the joints and ligaments which are already overloaded.

What about those weights you wear on your chest? It is alright to run, jog, play a little ball in them?

I never used em before, but they probably cause problems. It's not natural.

The weighted vest and thigh pants are much better since the weight is disputed properly. You still need a good foundation before using them.
