Basically, do anything you'd do without ankle weights. Personally, I don't think they do much, as they don't weigh very much and tend to just hurt your ankles from all the pressure.Get yourself a body harness and have someone hold the 'leash'. Then, start running, with the person behind you holding on to the leash as if they were water skiing. That really builds up speed.
You usually wear them for the whole day and walk around. Keep wearing them until the weight feel like nothing. On a side note, ankle weights will move your bones in your feet. Causing you to recover from foot injuries much slower. A better solution is to work on your leg muscles.
