Velociraptor 8 Jan 5:54pm, 8 Jan 2025 73,124 posts	0 Velociraptor I have a set of 1kg ankle weights from back in the day when there were still a few (other) dinosaurs who preached that running with weights strapped around your ankles was a legitimate way of strengthening your legs.
Ness 8 Jan 6:23pm, 8 Jan 2025 47,520 posts	0 Ness I have one pair of 2kg ankle weights bought from Decathlon quite recently. They're OK but the velcro is starting to wear out. I've also got 3 pairs of 1kg ankle weights that we bought for little buoyancy adjustments when diving in our dry suits a long time ago. They are better than the Decathlon ones.
