Wrist or ankle weights when walking/running?

[Katrina]

Has anyone tried wearing wrist or ankle weights when walking or running? What was your experience with them?

Tried them for a bit, they're ok, not sure if they truly provide any extra benefit, but you definitely feel it

I have used ankle weights on my ankles for specific exercises but didn't care for them for a faster walk or run. I also don't like them on my wrists.
If anybody does use them, be sure you have the walk or run down first with proper posture. Too many people run without good form & wonder why their back hurts!

Now that I had my surgery last year, I can walk straighter and it really is amazing!
