Body Solid Premium Weighted Vest

Using a weight vest is a great way to add resistance to strength training and improve your cardio fitness. Weighted vests are a great option for both your home gym or to take with you to a commercial gym. If we are being honest, a weight vest is one of the best fitness equipment investments you can make to create the toughest workouts with traditional movements.

The Body Solid Adjustable Weight Vest allows you to increase the weight from zero to forty pounds. Progressively overload the muscles in your weight lifting program by adding a small amount of weight from workout to workout.

Adding Weight to Functional Training Movements

It’s hard to use weighted resistance for the common functional training exercises. Adding weight to Pushups and pullups is tough unless you want to put a weight plate on your back or between your legs. A weighted vest is a simple way to distribute weight across your body.

Adding Weight to Balance Exercises

We typically perform exercises such as Bulgarian split squats and walking lunges with a barbell or dumbbell. The problem is this adds another level of instability which isn’t always what we want. Performing these exercises with a weight vest gets our mind off of the weight and onto the movement.

Adding Weight to Cardio Activities

Research suggests that the most effective way to burn fat through cardiovascular workout is to increase the amount of resistance at high intensities. Weighted vests make the traditional cardio exercise options such as running or stair climbing more demanding and higher intensity for more calories burned in a shorter amount of time.
