    Running, working out, and just plain working with ankle weights. I'm thinking about just walking while wearing ankle weights in day-to-day activities.

    Any dangers in any of those? (for example punching with dumbbells is not great for your joints etc)

    Do NOT run in these. Please.
    Not good for your knees. At all.

    Thanks, that seems to be quite a common answer I've gotten. I'll stay away.

    Do NOT use ankle weights for anything other than strengthening your thigh and hip muscles. No walking, no running. You will hurt your knees.
