A member asked:

Can wearing ankle/wrist 1lb weights all day make me get used to more weight and make me faster/stronger or will it have consequences?

Yes,: 1lb weight is not much for the Ankles. Yes it will make them stronger.Wearing on wrist can be cumbersome. Do you work on computer? then you will be more prone to develop Carpal Tunnel syndrome sooner.
