Try Weight Loss, Workout With Walk Vest and Weight Vest
Exercising with Walk Vest, which is a weighted vest that you take on, helps to add resistance to your body and becomes a good way for weight loss. This weighted vest comes from Walk Vest and is created by Debbie Rocker who founded Walk Vest in 2003.
A weighted vest from Walk Vest allows the following benefits to burn excess calories and add muscle to lose fat.
A walk vest helps to condition core and strengthen abdominals and build bone density.
How Does WALKVEST Work?
WALKVEST® safely adds weight, from 2 to 16 pounds, to your normal body weight. Wear the vest while walking, the added resistance safely causes your body to work harder. Your bones are forced to grow denser and stronger and burn more calories so you lose weight faster. It is the number one way to build bone density too – we have doctors and research to prove it.

What is The WALKVEST?
The WALKVEST is a lightweight cotton vest with weight pockets strategically located around the mid section so that added weight is evenly distributed for safety and comfort while you walk. Professionally designed for postural benefits and back safety, doctors recommend exercising with WALKVEST® to strengthen bones and muscles while also increasing cardiovascular strength. Walking with The WALKVEST® also helps you burn more fat and calories than walking alone, to help you stay lean and fit.
Any activity that causes the body to work against gravity is a weight bearing activity. Research shows that weight bearing excercises best build and maintain bone mass and bone density. WALKING, jogging, stair climbing and dancing are all weight bearing activities.
RESEARCH HAS PROVEN THAT EXERCISE IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING ONE CAN DO TO PRESERVE AND INCREASE ONES BONE MASS.
"Oregon State University Study finds that elderly women can halt bone loss by exercising with a weighted vest."
"In The New England Journal of Medicine researchers concluded that walking two miles a day reduces the chance of heart attack by more than 28%."
Benefits of walking with The WALKVEST® include:
increasing cardiovascular strength
lowering blood pressure
reduces stress
lowering cholesterol
enhancing stamina and increasing energy
strengthening bones, muscles, and connective issues
muscle toning
With a passion for "changing people's lives, not just their bodies,†Debbie Rocker created WALKVEST by Debbie Rocker in 2003, drawing from her experience as a former professional athlete, World Record holder in cycling, fitness expert, and personal trainer for thousands of individuals, including health and medical professionals, and some of Hollywood's best-known celebrities. Also one of the original developers of Spinning, operating the company and establishing Spinning gyms in Los Angeles and New York, Rocker brings an attuned sensibility to the business of fitness. - Some parts of the story are taken from Walk Vest media kit.
I've heard of these things but never have I seen someone use it before. I'm not sure this is something I'd wanna use, I bet after 30 minutes of power walking you'd feel like taking the damn thing off.
