Ankle Weights for Martial arts?
I take Taekwondo and long enough to know the limits of my body. The ankle weights are mainly going to be used for daily routine activites and some static slow exercises. Would this still have a negative effect on my ligaments and joints? If so are there any other suggestions on how to improve speed and vertical jump besides plyometrics?
Thanks~

Women, can you recommend some exercising that can be done at home no machines that targets upper thigh/but?
I am striving to be as smooth and tight as I can. I am not afraid of hard work but don’t want to go to the gym. I have free weights and a work out bench. I already do tons of squats, wear ankle weights and stand in the doorway doing side leg lifts. I also take Karate. I am 110 and have 14% body fat I am over 35. I know there are fitness tapes out there but I want advice from all of you that have had experience yourselves and know what works. Any input is appreciated!
How long will it take for my sprained ankle to heal?
I sprained it yesterday at Taekwondo and it is swollen. I got x-rays and there is nothing broken. The doctor was awful and very vague. I just want to know about how long it will take to go back to Taekwondo.
I was supposed to test for my next belt tomorrow, but now I have to put it off =(
