355. Weighted Vests - Gimmicky Gadget or Worth the Investment?


Listen Later

You’ve probably seen it on social media - influencers and fitness buffs touting the benefits of weighted vests. But are they worth the hype?

Listener Sandra asks: “I have a question about weighted vests, and in particular, walking with a weighted vest. I'm seeing more of it on social media from different trainers about using a weighted vest. So I would like to know if you think there are a lot of benefits to it, especially if it's someone already carrying extra weight. How would you go about starting to do it if there are benefits? And any tips on purchasing one?”

Have you wondered the same thing?

In this shortie episode, I’ll dive into the benefits of weighted vests, pitfalls to avoid, and the best way to get started if you’re considering adding this tool to your fitness tool kit.
