put long chunky aerobic socks on... put the ankle weights ontop of socks the fold the socks over and ruffler... nobody will know you are wearing them...

i never wore them on my ankles.......but im warning you.....DONT go running a long distance with them on your wrists.

i am an amateur athletic runner and going training with 1kg weights on each wrist made me feel like i was gonna pass out

omg these sound fun. argos is in the uk though isn't it? is there a place in the us that carries these? i don't really need my legs to be more toned but they sound like they're worth a shot anyway.

when i was younger i had the hottest body everyone was totally jealous... mabye i should start using them again

just be careful how you exercise with them, or you'll end up with shortened soccer-ish muscles instead of lengthened ones like ballet dancers have.

but its good to tone... then just stretch heaps

I am a runner and I am telling you DO NOT run with ankle weights on your legs! It is dangerous and extremely hard on your joints. Think about it, running is pounding your muscles hard - really hard - you don't need ankle weights on top of that. Any runner will tell you to put on "light" (1 to 2lbs) wrist weights and NEVER wear any weights on your ankles.
