I know some people do favor using weights with walking, but I
definitely do  not.  I want to walk free and unemcumbered and enjoy
the sheer zest of sailing along.  I do my weight lifting in the gym.
I think walking should afford pleasure in the walk itself as well as
good exercise.  I always feel sorry for those I see chugging along
with weights, looking self absorbed rather than enjoying the
landscape.

Different strokes for different folks.
