Weighted vests are a versatile fitness and sports training equipment used to help burn calories, tone muscles, build strength, and improve speed and agility. They also add resistance to most body movements.
Weighted vests usually come with double closure systems that secure them in place even during the most extensive workouts. The vest is often used in aerobic conditioning, weight loss programs, strength training, fitness training, and upper body condition improvement.
A men's weighted vest has a snug fit for greater resistance while weight training or working out. Using it helps develop agility, speed, endurance, and strength. It can weigh anywhere from one to 80 pounds. Most men's weighted vests have designs that secure the weights even during extreme physical trainings. Most models have double closure systems securing their locks.
Women's weighted vest
A women's weighted vest is usually worn while power walking or doing squats and lunges. Using it helps fight osteoporosis and other back problems common to women. It is ideal for burning calories and excessive fat while walking or jogging. Most women's weighted vests have Y-shaped designs for a comfortable fit. Most models also have slim designs that allow them to be worn under jackets or coats. Women's weighted vests are fully padded for comfort and for protecting the sensitive parts of the chest.
Weight: For women and children, choose a weighted vest weighing 15 pounds and below. Men can use heavier vests. Beginners should start with a lighter vest before gradually progressing to a heavy one.
