I have been in the mood to buy them. I want something relatively heavy, to wear daily, so that my body can get used to the weight opression throughout the day.

Anyway's, I need a good, cheap place to buy them from. Websites are fine, I guess. Any ideas? :confused:
 
I have heard ALOT of bad things about using ankle and wrist weights. Apparently even small amounts of weight can cause serious joint problems, due to the way the weight is distributed. Weighted vests can also cause problems, if used incorrectly, but are alot safer. They are alot more expensive as well. I have never tried one myself, but I've considered it.

You don't want to wear ankle weights all day. Use them while working out controlled motions (body weight lunging, calf raising, knee-ups), then remove them. Never for everyday walking, running, and especially not kicking.

I have a couple of different pairs. I have a reebok gel 2.5 pair and a maybe 5 or 8 lb sand bag one. The gel on is too light and the sandbag one is leaking. I believe I bought my reebok ones at Big 5 (a sporting good store). The sandbag ones I found at a yard sale. Look for some on Ebay or something.
 
I have some ankle weights I use in the gym, 5 pounds each, bought them at Walmart about $10

You definitely shouldn't wear all day, very hard on the joints
