What else can I help you with?
How many calories extra due you burn when walking with ankle weights?
My best guess is that it's not much more different than walking in deep mud, or wearing really heavy work boots. The calories burned might be hard to measure, but it will definitely help work your leg muscles, which of course burns some calories. I'd just add maybe 20% to normal walking calories burned. I may be way off, though...
