bought a pair of All Pro 20 lb ankle weights today, actually they come in singles so I had to buy two. Takes a bit getting used to, a tad uncomfortable on my ankles - go figure. I decided to skip adding the weight vest to get used to to the new addition. It felt like my feet were sliding rather than stepping. I clinked them a bunch of times on the stairs and especially noticed all the forces that act on the ankle when you make sharp turns. I added an identical set at bodyweight to improve my coordination. I will be doing these regularly from now on. Though I won't be doing ankle weights and weight vest together for some time - I need to get accustomed to the ankle weights and have a more fluid natural motion. I did have 10 lb ankle weights before but they were too light even for stairs, I played handball in them as a matter of fact. The 20 pounders feel much heavier but I hope that I'll reach the same degree of strength and coordination with these new weights.
also got some more chalk today & a spare swimcap... nyc lifeguard testing started this month and I had doubletime to make it for this summer
