CIBDiving:You have yet to prove that statment and you just keep saying the same wrong BS.
You want proof that it is more work to move your legs while weighted than when they are not weighted. Get a physics text and look up the word, work.

CIBDiving:Apples and Oranges. momentum yes gravity no ( except when useing certain kicks)
I didn't know your 'proper technique' was to kick at 60 times a minute.
Walter:Some do, but it's not necessary. You are, however, correct that ankle weights are merely more of the same with the added exertion every time you move your legs. Ankle weights are not the spawn of Satan, merely an attempt to compensate for poor technique with equipment, similar to the use of Force Fins to compensate for bicycling. I prefer to work on technique.

But, since I'm not 17 anymore, I'll just plod along in my F.F. and let others worry about "technique".
grazie42:I don´t understand how anyone can honestly believe that more weight doesen´t equal more exertion. It is so basic that I don´t see a point in even talking about the rest of it if you don´t even have that understanding.
