My only bit of advice to add is buy a vest that allows changes in wgt. Waste of money to buy a 10-12lb vest and know you can handle more wgt a couple months later. I bought a very well made and comfortable 35lb vest and unloaded 16 lbs to start and added 2 lbs every couple of months. That allowed my hips, etc to slowly adapt. No injuries, no need to buy another vest.

Initially I purchased a bulky 40 lbs vest. Didn’t care for it too much. Then went to Marshalls I have the Reebok 20lb weight vest and I love it. Love using the vest alternating to give my knees, spine etc a break. I don’t use it on every walk to create variables. I’ll choose walking paths with inclines etc. I do a long walk (5+ mila and (2) 2.5 miles with the best during the week). The other days I walk without ans do a short jog one day. Additionally weight lighting at home 2-3 days a week. I noticed my body is overall stronger and over 3-4 weeks saw fat loss in how my clothes fit and how my body composition changed. I don’t bother too much with the scale because it can be discouraging when change is actually occurring

I do wear a weighted from the same company you wear. I love mine. It is specifically a 'woman's" vest as it allows for the bust area to be free of weights. The vest also zips and is adjustable and is very supportive. It makes a nice "big" difference.

I just got my weighted vest last Sunday. I ordered a 12 lb. One from Amazon. I have worn it everyday since getting it. I love it. I do believe that soon I will go up in weight. 18 or 20. I haven't worn it long enough to reap the benefits but I am sure it will be beneficial to me. I have osteopenia and am 72. Have worked out all my life. Weight training, running , walking, yoga. You name it. Will let you know how it goes. Loves your video. First time I watched you.

I just bought one and received it today. Thanks for the info!

My doctor recommended I wear a weighted vest, even to do chores around the house. I have osteoporosis and he said research shows it helps with that. Thanks for doing this video. It is a good reminder to me, to go ahead and do it!!

I have the same vest as you, but only have 10lbs. It does feel like protective armor when zipped up 🤩 It definitely takes walking to the next level!

I just ordered one today! I walk about 5 miles a day and im excited to try the vest!

Yes! I have a 12 lb. Vest the same style as your first one. I love it and use it on the treadmill every day. I would love to upgrade to the one you have now with adjustable weights!

I have a 20lb vest for all day wear and a 30lb vest for shorter times but more intense workout I work from a desk at my full time so I don’t get as much walking in as my part time so I use it to help more burn more calories

I just started w a 20lb vest & it’s strengthening my back. I broke mine in a car accident 33 years ago & since ive been wearing mine 3x per week i have less back pain. I also use 5 lb ankle weights

I have the same vest! I did my research and this is the best!!

Such adorable pups!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I bought that vest after seeing you wear it. I Love it! I like that you can adjust the weight by taking out or adding back in the little weight squares. You definitely will sweat! 😅

Thanks for Video! I’ve been wanting to up my walking. Ordered fifteen pound vest. Wish me luck! 😎

Enjoyed your video, very uplifting and informative. I have a 20 lb. vest that I wear on my morning walks at 73. Carnivore here, the only reason I couldn't subscribe. Unpleasant reaction to oxalates, even a little bit.

Subscribed. Thank you for this info. Im gonna get one.

Good morning ! My favorite channel!!!!

I really like that vest! Thank you for this video!

I think also you need to tell people to talk with their doctor first before using this product. I have issues and I've had an operation on my neck and I've also have osteoporosis. I thought about this but I've never talked to the doctor about whether it's good or bad for me

I couldn’t agree more with everything u said I love my best I also take smaller steps so my posture is better and in line. I use 8lbs it’s perfect

Thanks.

Older ruckers should beware of the potental of disc compression issues. Might want to discuss this with your chiro before using one.

Love your videos! Ignore the negative Nancy’s

I bought a weighted vest that goes from 2 to 19 pounds. You should start light or you will hurt yourself. I like the removable sakes. It’s straightens your posture as well. You really should watch how to do it properly or else you can really hurt yourself and you will quit.

I love mine. It’s like yours except I can add up to 60 pds if I wanted. It was only like 35 dollars. I got it after watching you 😊

Love my weighted vest. Similar yo yours but has a pocket for my phone so I can listen to podcasts.

It's not "almost making you stronger"? It is making you stronger. You're carrying extra load on your body. But better then the vest is light db's in the hands if moved. Checkout Heavy Hands by Dr. Leonard Schwartz, and Power Walking by Steve Reeves. Reeves hypothesized that a pound in the hand moving = 5 on the body. He would walk w/ hand weights, ankle weights, and a loaded dive belt in a very brisk cross-country skiing style.. So the answer is to do both. Start very light and progress slowly. Be sure to have a shoulder and wrist prehab program in place.

Have you tried rucking (weighted backpack)? Curious with the differences in rucking vs weighted vest.

I’m 71 with chronic fatigue and do well to do 1 mile about 4 times a week. I do have osteoporosis and thought about a weighted vest but have had7 knee surgeries and so don’t know if I should put more weight on them. Wonder if just for that one mile walk would help bones a bit but not hurt knees…. hummmm

Can you remove weights from your current 20 pound vest to make it a lower overall weight like 10 pounds?

How long did you use your first vest before upgrading? I just got mine. Can't wait to start using it!

Did your walking slow down while getting used to the weighted vest? Thank you for all the information. It’s a Great Looking vest👍🏻

The links to Amazon don’t work, would appreciate brand name of the vest. Thanks

I just received the very same vest. I find it to be very uncomfortable on the trapezius muscles.

Question, do you think I can lose weight on a 50/50 plate of plant based foods without all the walking? I am disabled with bad knees and hips from a car accident.

👍

Does wearing a 20 lb kid 90% of the count? 😅
