Recently ordered wrist weights, now I'm second-guessing myself. Should I even use them?

Hi all.

I recently ordered off Amazon some wrist weights. I was thinking of wearing them during cardio workouts (I do 3 times a week elliptical trainer for 30 minutes), in order to have my arms 'participate' more in the cardio and help burn more calories. I ordered sets of 1 lb and 2 lb weights.

Now I tried to see if there are any specific recommendations or warnings and I was surprised to find that nearly all comments on Reddit on the subject were overwhelmingly against using them at all, mainly citing potential joint damage and that the effect is negligible compared to strength straining.

So, I'll ask this way - is there any scenario in which using wrist weights is advantageous? If not, I'll just try to return them.

I will mention that my overall weekly routine is:

Cheese sauce tteokbokki with chicken fillet

Made tteokbokki for the first time, but it seemed like it lacked protein. So i added some chicken fillet I cooked and also some shredded cheese because shredded cheese makes everything better.

Apologies if I hurt any Koreans.

White spots on eucalyptus leaves?

I saw these white spots all over some eucalyptus trees I passed by. Anyone knows what they are?

Looking for flight school recommendations in Czech republic

Hello all.
I have a PPL (non EU) and I'm interested in doing a bit of time building in Czech republic. Just as a hobby, not building up to advanced courses.
Can anyone recommend me a flight school that has a Cessna 172?
I looked online and was interested in Flight Academy (mostly the Brno branch) because they had the best prices, but the poor reviews on google worry me.
WDYT?
