Also good for some added resistance for push-ups, pullups, and any sort of body weight exercises. For running though, is a weighted vest increase injury risk? I had some plantar fasciitis flair up around the time I started running in mine. I was never sure if that was connected to the vest or just other things going on. I definitely experienced the same feeling of weightless-ness after taking it off.
Good points on the added exercises. That was something I thought about after the video was made haha. So, I did have some slight discomfort around one of my heels when I went with a heavier weight, but an adjustment in my step helped with that. But 100% on board with your line of thinking...if you have previous issues around your feet, any extra weight and movement could re-present those issues in some form.
Yup, although I found that running with alot of weight in the vest was hard on my shoulders. With lighter weight, it was still a hard workout and much easier on the body.
@@FizznessShizzness thank you. I thought that was the way, but it seemed too basic and like you mentioned they slide. I love the vest, but pads that wouldn’t slide would be better.
@@jennyg5426 I found that the sliding sorta depended on the amount of weight on the vest.. Meaning, if there was more weight, the vest was less likely to bounce around when I ran, which helped the vest stay "tight" on my shoulders, so the pads wouldn't move. The sliding became more of an issue with less weight, which allowed for more bouncing.

Well present, good analysis, good advice -- I'll make my own should pads. Thanks!
Good review 😎 it is said for me to put 10% of my body weight to help burn more calories. I’m curious if the vest would help my cardio.
Good review, because I have one of those and there is no instructions or anything, no info about how much weigh it is or anything
Your calories calculations, how did you come up with that? What did you use to measure calorie lost during a run?
did it slide off if you did decline push ups?
Only if I didn't have it tight enough. I also don't go crazyy with decline push ups as far as decline degree, so that helps too.
Can you go running in it?
Yup, although I found that running with alot of weight in the vest was hard on my shoulders. With lighter weight, it was still a hard workout and much easier on the body.
Came here to learn how to attach the shoulder pads.
Yeah, they don't really "attach". They just wrap around the vest and velcro together.

Even with shoulder pads do you still get a lil tingly fingers tue to circulation?
How tall are you?
just over 6'3"
Do you think the vest would touch my legs if I'm 5'8?
