For about 10 years now we have been wearing hand, wrist and ankle weights when we work, plus a weighted belt. These add a little resistance to our movements and develop strength and sobriety. The belt is particularly useful; we use the Reebok Ironwear one since it can be adjusted at the back so that much of the weight bears down on the sacrum, encouraging it to stay in and down. The weight of the belt can also be adjusted - it's possible to start light and work up over months and years to the full 10lbs. The German company linked to above I've found very good; if the order is over £70 (I think) the postage is free. If you give it a try then start light. Even half a pound added to each wrist makes quite a difference.
