Dianne ~ I wish I had the link, but I learned that using ankle weights can seriously put your knees in jeopardy, especially for us larger folks. I really enjoyed using them, but it's not worth possible injury. Just my choice to heed this, I don't have a good source to pass on.
Interesting topic ... it will be interesting to see if my experiences are like yours. |
