Not a weight user, but consider this: if using hand weights causes more
calories to be consumed, then you can walk or run more slowly and get
the same level of workout. Ergo, less stress. No? Maybe the people who
get injured are the ones who try to match their weight-less times and
break down. Just a thought, no experience to back it up.
