Oh ummm... give me a sec, been a while since I've been on this end of training O__O'
Well legs weights, and the training associated with them, was designed by Guy to increase Lee's running speed and leg strength. The weights have Fuuinjutsu kanji on them that dictate how much they weight, and are worn around the the users ankles/shins.
The training works through having the student simply grow accustomed to wearing them and having them do there usual training regimes, until they reach a point where they move as if the weights were not present... then more weight is added and so on and so forth. The end result of this is that when the weights are removed (for short periods of time such as battles, else the training effect would start to wear off), the wearer would have there running speed drastically increased and also a perceived increase in the strength of their kicks/anything leg-taijutsu related.
A note with the increased speed is that is only refers to running speed; punching speeds are not increased, hand seal speeds are not increased and any forms of attack do not gain an increase in speed.
Umm... I think that's most of it covered?

Tasuke strolls onto the training ground holding a backpack, he also has one on his own back and looks around looking for his student. His eyes squint as he swore he was supposed to meet someone to finish their Special Weights training.
"Well this is awkward, I'm pretty sure I came to the right place." Tasuke begins to shuffle through his things to get his map. It takes him a while though.

As Tasuke beings to search through his things, Kenshin comes stumbling out of a nearby bush, seemingly lost himself. Stepping out of the thick shrubberies, he trip and comically falls on his face. Rolling over and sitting up, Kenshin rubs the back of his head after realising someone caught him in this embarrassing act.
Hehe, Oro? Kenshin confusingly said, not recognising the figure before him.

Tasuke had froze, blinking a couple of times as he had watched the events unfold in front of him. He just stood there with his hand in his backpack, blinking. He then looked down at it and began to shuffle again, his student was scarred huh? Straight away he was interested in this man. Ah, found it. The former kazekage pulled out a form and started to read it.
"Kenshin. So you want to improve your strength? You look pretty strong already... how did you get that." Tasuke was nosy and it may have been personal, but he didn't care. He wanted to know his student. He gestured to Kenshin's scar by rubbing his own cheek with two fingers.

Standing up and brushing himself off, Kenshin was initially surprised to find out this person knew who he was. It then dawned on him that this man was the sensei he was supposed to meet, Tasuke.
Indeed, I have something important to me that I need to protect. One could say that I am akin to the central pillar of a building; the building is only as strong as I am and as such, I need to improve myself. Kenshin paused for a moment at the question about his scar. It wasn't something he often spoke of so he took a moment to find the words.
As for these scars. Kenshin brushed over the two scars that made up the over-all cross shape; using his left index and middle fingers. These are a reminder of a troubled and violent past... a past where I thought I was doing the right thing, oblivious to the greater world outside my home country: The Land of Snow.

"Ah, I apologise if I have brought up anything you did not wish to remember. Curiousity gets the best of me, I'm lucky enough to have not suffered many scars, luckier than my Friend Akaharu - I'm usually the type of person to give them out. Or cause them on others, for most of my scars come mentally." It was common for Tasuke to open up to his students, for they were here to learn and not kill him. The Former Kazekage lifted up the backpack he was holding and threw it to Kenshin, it was abnormally heavy, but nothing compared to what was to come.
"First we shall practice with a Lighter Weight, lets see how quickly you get used to this." Tasuke began to walk off, they were to leave the training ground and go somewhere else, outside of the Village and onto the Roads. "So, I know you may be struggling with that but - do you have any questions?"

It is quite alright Tasuke-sensei, I realise your intentions were just to get to know me. It was here that Tasuke tossed something towards Kenshin, something that he had not adequately judged it's weight. As such, Kenshin would comically stumble back and buckle at the knees during the second it would take him to fully embrace the surprisingly extra amount of weight.
Putting the backpack on, Kenshin would proceed to follow his sensei along a nearby trail, away from the training grounds and Village itself. His steps strained slightly, but nothing that would hinder Kenshin in the immediate future. Only one; just how much more weight could you possible put in this bag? Hehe. Kenshin would chuckle lightly, keeping a pleasant atmosphere through the initial stages of training with his new sensei.

"Oh not much more, but the weight wont be on your back next time." The two made their way on the trial and had been travelling a long while before Tasuke found a nice spot to stop at. He turned to face Kenshin and then gestured to the back pack.
"Alright Kenshin, I want you to reach into that Backpack and take out the weights inside. You're gonna strap them onto your legs." He then looks to the rest of the road.
"This is where our training truly begins, once you put them on you're gonna feel instantly drained of stamina - not until i make a hand seal though. And then we're going to walk. For a long time. Are you ready to gain strength?"

I am most definitely ready, Tasuke-sensei! Kenshin would reply as he carried out the instructions set by Tasuke. Dropping the backpack on the ground, with a loud and resounding thud, Kenshin would remove two sets of leg-weights. Having to handle each one with both hands to not only strap them onto his legs, but to even remove them from the bag.
Several minutes of silence pass, punctuated with the odd groan and sigh as Kenshin manoeuvres the oddly-heavy weights onto his shins. Finally Kenshin stands ready to continue; first taking a steps forward, obviously strained and nearly falling over due to the now slower speed his legs are moving at. Oro... Kenshin would groan to himself, before managing to get a basic grasp of the handicap placed upon his legs. Okay Sensei, I think I'm ready to continue...

Tasuke laughs, it would take them a long time to even get to the first destination. He sat down and performed a hand seal, activating the Weights.
"Lets Begin."
See you in a Month, Shinta <3

So it had begun, the epic journey that Tasuke and Kenshin would undertake. For Kenshin, what would be waiting for him was some much needed strength for him to continue to stand firm in the Ninja World; For Tasuke, who knows what this eccentric character was aiming to take from this experience, perhaps he hoped the path would take them towards a certain Green-haired Shinobi... who is to say what his true motivations were. All we can do now is wait for our heroes to reach their destination...
