TopBiLLin85 Member Registered: 02/07/07 Posts: 31 Loc: PA	Sup people I have been doing dynamic stretches for a few months.. my kicks are higher than ever.. but theres always room for improvement, right? Anyway, I just got some ankle weights to use while working out, and I had a thought.. If I wore them while doing dynamic stretches for my legs.. would it make them more effective or just slow down my process?

Even if done slowly, if you try leg swings again right after taking them off you may end up flinging your leg too far and over-stretching. I wouldn't use them for anything other than static active stretches.

Even if you control it well, I can't imagine what improvement it would offer. _________________________ ThomsonsPier War. It's fan-tastic!
