Fitness enthusiasts can give their workouts a serious boost by strapping on a weighted vest.
Weighted vests can be used for many different exercises. You can level up on a challenging hike, increase exertion for a casual stroll around the neighborhood, or add some resistance to your routine workout.
The extra weight in the vests allows you to vary your workouts, build strength, and increase endurance. Just think of how fast you will move or how high you will jump once the vest comes off! A study from the University of Gothenberg showed that weighted vests can also help reduce fat mass and body weight.
