Summary:
Carrying weights when you walk burns extra calories, more weight more calories, but you have to be careful not to injure arms or shoulders
Ankle weights when walking or running pose too great a risk of injury
Safest way to carry weights is on your torso with a weight vest or light backpack
Comment:
I recommend you just walk farther or faster, and forget the weights.
