A member asked:
Are ankle weights bad for joints?

Maybe: It is always good to be active and exercise. Proper weight lifting technique is important. Also, ankle weights can be used safely. However, if your joints are hurting after using these weights, you need to determine if you should continue using them.

Not necessarily : But what are you hoping to accomplish? There is little to gain from this in my opinion.
