1 lb ankle weights?

(shrinking)...we finally figured out the ones in the video are wrist weights :-/

I have seen weights which I think can be used for either wrists or ankles, that you fill with water to whatever weight you want. A less bulky alternative would be to make wrist bands that you fill with sand or lead shot to the right weight.

Nope. I just wear big heavy boots if I think I need more weight on my feet. ;-)

The weights we use here, Oceanblue, are "Body Fit" by Sports Authority. I buy them from our local Sports Authority store, which I'm not sure still exists! It's astonishing how many big stores have closed. Our oldest and biggest mall has two of its largest department store spaces empty. I think they should turn them into greenhouses! ;)

But I don't do a lot of workouts. I would just put my boots on and go and do a physical job outside for exercise. I am building a fox proof pen at the moment for fattening our Christmas goose.

bare feet work outs are so wonderful though and if you would like some added weight but still want the benefits you get from bare feet work outs the logical thing to do would be to add ankle weights.

You didn't really think I would work out in boots, did you?

I found some at Walmart here in Canada but I am sure that Walmart in the States would carry them too

Hi Oceanblue

Erm ... yes ... Christmas dinner.

Well, I am modifying an old aviary that needs to be more secure to keep out foxes. Actually it is two geese. An Italian friend has some goslings, which may not survive the feral foxes, so we are taking two this year, so ours has company while getting fat; one for ourselves and one to fatten and kill for them, so they can have a Christmas goose as well. It is just as easy to keep two gees secure as one goose.

We are going camping for ten days in December, so we have to have it set up well with shelter, food and water sources so the man who comes every day to feed our dogs doesn't have to do too much messing around.
Actually, he is Canadian, but has been living here for many years. Still sounds Canadian, though. Lovely man. We like to keep him happy.

It is only the setting up that is strenuous, making it as secure as Fort Knox, but easy to keep clean.

Last year's goose came on our camping trip with us, and stayed nearby, with our daughter. Taking pets on holidays is one thing, but taking Christmas dinner??? Taking two geese? I don't think so!

Actually, our daughter looked after last year's goose. She doesn't live in a tent. She lives in a shed, well, a lined shed, but a shed all the same, on a farm. The goose lived outside, in a large, heavy weldmesh tree guard with a lid on the top, The type you put around trees when there are cattle and horses sharing the paddock. She fed it yummy green things and grain, when she got home from work. He also had a bucket of water so he could put his head under water and blow bubbles, which geese are fond of. Cleans out their nostrils apparently.

Now you mention it, having a Canadian carer might be a bit like hiring a fox to guard the chooks. I shall have to have a cautionary word with him about that. I thought Canadians were nice people? Now I know that they are nice people who share my love of goose (and salmon, and digging up wilderness and sending it to other places in ships).
