Quick Summary
This weighted vest is made for users who want simple added resistance for running, gym training, walking and strength workouts without relying on handheld weights.
What This Product Is Used For
This weighted vest is used to add extra resistance during running, jogging, walking, gym workouts, circuit training, weightlifting, cardio, strength training and muscle building. Compared with holding dumbbells during movement, a vest keeps the load close to the body and leaves your hands free. The vest is made from soft neoprene material with adjustable buckle straps to help reduce sliding during exercise. Users choose it over simpler options because it adds resistance while still allowing natural movement.
