Weighted Vest

Weight vests have been a popular training tool for college and professional athletes, but they can benefit anyone who wants to enhance their workouts, jogging, training, etc. It is much safer and more effective than typical ankle weights, wrist weights, weight belt, and backpack. Use it as part of your aerobic conditioning, strength training, weight loss, sports specific training, walking or around the house... the usages are limitless. The idea is as simple as a baseball player swinging a weighted bat in the on-deck circle: If you condition your body to exercise with an added load, you gain enhanced endurance, quickness and speed when the weight is removed. Your body is acclimated to your weight and it burns calories based on weight, exercise, duration and intensity. When you add weight to your body, more muscles are recruited to support the function of moving the added weight; in turn more calories are burned to support the muscle action. A properly weighted vest will intensify any activity or exercise, increasing the metabolic rate. Thus, you can double your RESULTS and BURN more calories in the same amount of time, making any workout more effective.
