The problem with doing any workouts on the legs is that most often people overdo it. You never really think theres a problem until somthing either gives out or becomes more than simple soreness.
The weakest part of the legs are the knees, then the ankles. doing any overstrenuous activity will cause damage to those areas.
If you do use ankle weights, be sure to increase the amount of rest you provide for your legs. Common sport injuries, when it comes to the leg deal mostly with the knees and ankles. jumper's knee, runner's knee are the most common and the ones im most afraid of.
Coming from someone who HAD jumper's knee I'll tell you that your leg muscles will ALWAYS BE STRONG.... making them stronger requires a large amount of work compared to the upper body (they are the biggest, and strongest muscles in the entire body), but pushing them further requires great risk and with that risk one must always exercise great caution.
My advice would be to go ahead and use the weights, but be sure to provide your joints and legs with enough rest, and also strengthen the muscles that support the ankles and knees.
