Weighted vest walks seem to be everywhere right now, but are they actually worth it?
In this episode, I'm sharing my honest thoughts on weighted vest walking. Spoiler alert: I own a weighted vest, but I rarely use it.
We'll talk about what the research says, the potential benefits of adding weight to your walks, and why I don't think most women need to rush out and buy one. You'll learn who might benefit from a weighted vest, who probably won't see much value from it, and why strength training still delivers the biggest return on your time and effort.
