All joints are immediately compromised as your muscles and joints work to control the added weight positioned at the lower end of your leg. Wearing weights at your ankles will make the workout more intense which burns more calories. But are the injury risks worth the extra calorie burn? There are safer ways to increase intensity to an aerobic workout.
Thanks for this post. I have been using ankle weights for, as you say, increased calorie burn. I had thought that since I was on a flat terrain, the risk would be lowered. I can see the concern that these weights can cause damage so I will stop using them.
BUT I wish it were not so! To be honest, I like the results I am seeing.

New technique promises to banish chunky ankles in 15 minutes
Thanks for the suggestions Kelly! If you're carrying around excess fat, chances are that some of it has also accumulated around your ankles. For you, running is probably not going to result in a thicker ankle area. Instead, you'll probably lose overall body fat -- including fat around your ankles -- as a result of running. If you are relatively thin, don't expect to see a marked change in the thickness of your ankles from running, either. It is true that weight-bearing exercise, including running, can help you build bone.

However, it's the density of the tissue in your bones that can change and typically not the outer thickness of the bone itself. By your mids, you've already built all the bone mass you're going to have throughout your life. The bottom line -- to lose ankle thickness, maintain a regular running routine or do other types of calorie-burning exercise that leads to fat loss.
