in the interests of protecting your ankles, knees, and hips, do not get ankle weights. they throw off your balance and pull your joints all out of place. Think about it, your joints are not meant to have that extra weight on them. a weight vest would be a better option, but you need to be really careful because exercising hard with weights can lead to some nasty injuries. If you are wearing weights and roll your ankle, you will probably tear ligaments, as opposed to not wearing weights and just rolling your ankle. So you need to be very careful, and do not get ankle weights.
