At about 5:33 of this Dan John video he talks a tiny bit about walking with light DBs and ankle weights. I know guys on here like Heavy Hands. Do ankle weights make any difference when walking.? I work with size thirteen steel toe boots all day and can't wait to take them off by the end of the day. I know when I just go for a walk I don't feel like I'm doing much exercise wise.

Hey Michael, I’ve been walking a lot recently and was using 2 lb weights that I wrap around my wrists and swing my arms up to the top of my head. Last week I bought some ankle weight that each have 5 pockets that hold a 2lb bag of gravel. I’m just using 4lbs on each ankle but noticed it kicks my heart rate up a little bit more than just using the wrist weights. When I get home and take the weights off my feet feel like they’re almost floating.

Thanks MrDave. I'll have to give it a try. I've been using 5lb DBs while I walk. Feels like a light job. I did like running a couple miles sometimes but I don't need any more pounding on my body than work gives me. , besides, since I stopped running my planter facia is gone and knee issues are too.
