IS WALKING AROUND IN ANKLE WEIGHTS BAD?

[lb 4 lb]

I'd heard it's bad to wear them, but I thought it was only bad if you ran in them. I want to increase the size of my calves and thought this might be a way to do it.

You'd be better off training the calves in the gym with weights and stuff. Calf Extensions with massive weights, etc.

ankle weights can be great

I have a good friend who has 2 kids.. he works out at home and for Cardio puts the kids in a double stroller and puts on two 5lb ankle weights and walks them for about 2 miles a day, up a big ass hill! great workout!

I don't know if it will make your calves much bigger, unless you are raising up on your toes a lot...
