Starting STS soon. Do I need ankle weights?

[parias1126]

I am looking for a good pair and will probably buy from Amazon. I thought I saw somewhere that ankle weights were used. Am I correct in thinking this? Those of you that have them, how many pounds are you using? How many pounds does Cathe use in her videos?

I just finished meso 1 and there was some bonus leg work using ankle weights in week 3 I think. I used 2.5 lbs but I'm not sure what cathe used.

I have 2.5lb ankle/wrist weights and I find them helpful because I don't have the miro load gloves. Some of my weight selections are like 18 and 23lbs so I just wear the wrist weights and use a 15 or 20lb dumbbell to do the exercise.
