How about speed? (the whole shadow boxing with weights for speed and endurance deal...)

I mean, like...I weigh 145-155 lbs...would I benefit at all from walking around with 20 lb ankle weights, a 80 lb weight vest, 5 lb wrist weights and thigh weights under my clothes?

Thats a little too excessive dont you think? Walking around with all those weights wont help your cardio but itll definitely make you stronger.

i think i may have heard that wearing weights like that could potentially by harmful for certain joints. i dont know though.

dont even bother with the hassle of walkin around with tons of weights strapped to your body, just lift weights and get a proper routine.
