Other than your hips and thighs! put lead shot in a bicycle tube, tie the 
tube at regular intervals, say 2", to keep the shot evenly disbursed then 
attach the tube around the cantle of your saddle or along the girth or cut 
it in two (depending how much weight you need) and put it under the saddle 
flaps or on the bottom of your stirrups.  The important thing is to get it 
as near to the centre of gravity as possible, so as not to unbalance your 
horse, and train with it!
