Thanks for breaking down the science behind my experience, Nic! Always such a pleasure to chat and learn with you 🙏❤️
Thanks for making it happen - had a blast. Hopefully I'll be able to get around to releasing the second video in the near future. 🙂
You do a great job!
In statuary and reliefs, Roman soldiers are shown with enormous calf muscles. Others are not. They walked wearing armour.
Juvenal also draws our attention to this physical feature of the solider:
JUVENAL, SATIRE XVI 7 Let us first consider the benefits common to all soldiers, of which not the least is this, that no civilian will dare to thrash you; if thrashed himself, he must hold his tongue, and not venture to exhibit to the Praetor the teeth that have been knocked out, or the black and blue lumps upon his face, or the one eye left which the doctor holds out no hope of saving. If he seek redress, he has appointed for him as judge a hob-nailed centurion with a row of jurors with brawny calves sitting before a big bench. For the old camp law and the rule of Camillus still holds good which forbids a soldier to attend court outside the camp, and at a distance from the standards.
I wear a 40kg weight vest for 30 min walks 5 times a week. Built up to the weight over a period of months. Have to really focus on posture. Have to pad the shoulder straps with towels to prevent compression pain. Feel invincible after removing the vest, it’s feels like walking on air. Huge fitness benefits.
40kg/11%=363kg, wow!
Why not just focus on high intensity interval run/sprint training or sprints?
@@user-zq3qd8ui5oYou prefer sprinting? Just curious to know why.
@@user-zq3qd8ui5o If running works for you, that's great, but it's not a feasible option for everyone.
@@ropeadope3010I hate running 💀
I remember when you had like 5k subs jesus you've come a long way man, so happy for you!!
Thanks, Jake :) I’m working hard at it. Appreciate you being around for at least 6-7 years.
@@Physionic wow I subbed to your channel 7 years ago, time sure flies
Truly…
What I'd REALLY like to see is a million subs ... but without losing the independence and authenticity (and nerdiness, although as an older person I dislike the term nerd as it was an epithet when and where I grew up).
A million subs is where you start to reach the level of influencing government choices, and god knows our governments make BAD choices in the healthcare domain (mostly influenced by self-interested corporate money).
Somebody should explain to Rob Ford that the OMA "gatekeeping" the number of doctors in Ontario when there is a massive shortage of PCPs is really NOT in the best interests of his constituents (but IS in the best interests of the OMA who have a clear conflict).
I was formerly one of the skinny fat women who had osteoporosis. In three years of using a weighted vest/backpack on my walks & hikes, my diagnosis went from osteoporosis to osteopenia. I also lift heavy weights and exercise with bands, daily I take Vitamin K2-MK7, Vitamin D, make sure I get in my calcium of around 1,200 mg and eat almost 1 gram of protein per pound of my bodyweight. This resulted in gaining lean weight, that I needed to put on. I did this because I didn't want to take Prolia, which was prescribed by my Dr., who firmly told me that none of these things would work. I'll admit, though, that my success to stick with the plan is partly motivated by my attitude of 'I'll show him it works!' So, I suppose that Dr. is somewhat responsible for my added bone mass anyway😂
Dr. don’t think outside the box anymore. They’re all brainwashed by their medical school which get donations from big Pharma.
1kg of protein per pound of body weight? Im guessing 1g? Will u please share how u manage to get enough protein- I struggle! Going through a perimeno, lost so much strength that its just crazy! Upping my protein helped a lot (still not getting enough tho), and started my lifting journey. There is not enough talk about it- peri hit me like a ton of bricks.
@@darkturnip try to add meat/fish daily in your diet.
At least two eggs and choose if available higher protein content foods like high pro yogurt, bread, cheese.
I'm 46, lost 12kg in a year and gained a ton of fitness, strength and looks just reducing sugar, alcohol and refined flour from my diet and adding what a previously commented.
Walking and lifting weights is the key.
4 days a week
@@darkturnip My bad, thank you for catching my error. The protein should be 1 gram/pound of bodyweight. I shall edit my original comment 🙏
@@darkturnip I have to drink a protein shake daily. It's easy for me to get in 30 grams of protein that way.
I've been walking with a weighted vest (50 lbs) for 18 monrhs with zero days missed, it feels like you're flying when you're not wearing it. Also leans you out and helps get you shredded. And my legs massive now.
How long do you walk for?
@@unseenwarfare8579 I average 6 to 7 miles a day, usually 1.5 to 2 hours.
If I had known this when I was 13-14yo playing all types of Sports, especially baseball, basketball and some football, and Track I would have had some very good speed times. Im 60yo and compete as if I was 35 or 40yo and look like a 40yo, cause Ive always had an addiction to working out and health, even when I was married, I stayed in shape...I use a 30lb Weighted Vest during my weekly workouts 3x a week hour a day, and for fun I will take it off and let someone hold it, and they usually drop it cause they say its heavy men and women....
I really like this new format of taking personal experiences and putting it into context with studies. It's not something I see a lot of people doing and it's refreshing and I thought it was cool.
so that's why knights wore that armor.
Your science content on CZcams is truly impressive! Keep up the great work!
"Hunger" can be cravings for minerals/nutrients etc. Walking around w extra weight, just like exercise, will lower the blood sugar and those who are not "fat adapted" will feel like they're dying of energy loss. Getting fat adapted also requires nutirents for the "new" chemistry and using nutrients can trigger cravings for these.
Thanks for this update. My vest experience has been great - 50 pounds for hikes in various nearby parks as well as in the neighborhood, usually in the 60-90 minute range 5 days per weeks seasonally. This very quickly changed by posture (favorably). My sandbag vest has 5x 5 pound sleeves front and back and in order to move forward a slight forward tilt is favorable to building momentum. That tilting loads the abs and over time really hardens the core. Really. As mentioned in your video the shoulder loading was challenging, but firmed up my upper back as well as lower back. Of course quads get tortured too and recover well. I walk with flat rubber-soled trendy barefoot style canvass shoes and avoid concrete and asphalt as much as possible in favor of natural hiking trails, including the challenging trials with elevation issues. Walking on trials with sticks and stones really works out one's ankles, knees and hips. It also works out one's judgement. I recommend being careful if you're walking with a large dog prone to pouncing. If so you'll learn to crouch and lean to avoid being tipped over and dragged down the trail (or steps!). I'm an old dude, almost 70, let's say extremely scrawny fit and can dead-lift and squat 1.5x my weight. One point of advice is to develop a rigorous deep breathing style. I breath in deeply through the nose and exhale hard in a controlled flow, but that's a different conversation. BTW I augment the walks with weighted squats and side lunges, as well as the Shaolin-Kung-Fu-style "ma bu", or horse stance, which is one of the most satisfying daily body-weight routines (daily wake-up = pushups, V sit-ups, squats, planks, lunges, and horse stance before coffee!). If you want to attract attention at the park balance on a rock in a tree pose in the 50 pound vest with a 100 pound dog on a leash and do one-leg half-squats. People will comment on the dog of course.
Best comment here.
Walk on the beach with soft sand. That works your ankles the most. Try some dunes if you really want a workout. My choice of footwear since the late 90's has been oliver steel cap shoes. They are a boot but shaped like a shoe. In the odd situation I've worn normal shoes I find when I walk I'm comically lifting my legs up high expecting the weight.
@@Retro-Iron11 I will look for sand opportunities as it is rare in Ohio. My Delta Skymiles have taken we to super beaches on Southern Java, Bali, Thailand, India and Hawaii though
@@BytewiseReynolds Ah, that can be an issue. In the end you are making the best of what you have access to.
man that's heavy!!! I can't even walk with 5kg. well done!
I'm 42 years old and do 5 miles 3 times a week with 16lbs plate carrier in 60 minutes. Just some practical tips. If you are wearing a plate carrier and experience strain in your traps. You can look into pads that goes around the shoulder straps. This really helps you avoid shrugging to keep the weight stable. If you use AR500 steel plates in a carrier get pads for the chest and back just to make it a bit more comfortable (it adds some give to the hard plates not rubbing you and compressing your chest). Also if you wanted to go up in weight you can easily add mole pouches or even a mole back pack with a camel back for water. Every 1 mile I do pushups, squats and lunges. In the beginning its really sucks, but over time you feel stronger and like she said. If you dont have the vest on you feel like you are floating almost.
Maybe add a dozen, fully-loaded 30 round mags? 🙂
Jeez your routine is absolutely insane! Props to you
Did some weighted vest training 10 years ago in preparation for an 8-day trek up Kilimanjaro although I found it more specific and beneficial for trekking to use a backpack since the weight is always pulling you backward, so your abs are always working to pull your upper body forward. Do this type training on high hilly trails and you will be ready to tackle the mountains, endurance wise. Altitude training is another story.
That is the best advice ever. Started doing it 3 weeks ago with surprising positive results. Thanks.
Interesting weighted vests. I effectively wear a weighted vest, for the past 50 years. Most of the time I carry around 20 to 40 lbs of gear+vest+heavyboots+weatherclothing about 6 to 12 hours a day 6.5 days a week. On top of that I have tools that weigh 10 to 80 lbs and supplies. I walk a lot, farming and forestry in mountains. I burn a lot of calories. I am a high BMI but low body fat - muscle from working weighs more than fat pushing up BMI. My life insurance company gives me the highest rating despite my being 62. One more thing: I have grown ~1/8” a year my whole adult life. My mother, a doctor, says this is likely because of my loading my skeleton so much. When we married I was 5’4” and my wife was 5’11.5”. After 30 years I am 5’9” and she dropped to 5’8”. People normally shrink with age.
I love the melding of science and experience! More please!
So interesting!
In my retirement, after gaining from sitting around too much, I dragged my overweight body to join a sport where we practice 3x per week. I love this and have stuck with it, though have gained another 20.😢
After having a parathyroid removed, I got into a discussion about calcium levels and osteopenia and osteoporosis with a group of these women in said sport. Many of the women are extra lean, partaking in many other activities as well. So they are all lean, but fit and muscular for sure. But it was brought to light, that many have osteoporosis in their 50's and 60s.
I am 68 and osteopenic, because of my parathyroid malfunction. I feel caused from being a long time vegetarian who drank green smoothies and almond milk for years (oxalate toxicity). Anyway, I also found, thru this discussion, that osteoporosis is a "skinny gal" problem. 🤔
I later wondered to myself, after this discussion, if rucking would cure this issue for the skinny girls.
I am certainly going to share this podcast, now. And look Robin up, too!
BTW, when I get my next dexa scan, I hope my osteopenia is improved. Because my calcium levels are now normalized, and I am no where near a "skinny gal!"
I got a cheap one but the stitching was bad and sent it back. Good reminder to try again. Thanks.
Re vest and burden on shoulders and spine: I'm 175 pounds and carried a 30 pound (25 without water) rucksack on a hiking/camping trip a few months ago - 10 days of 15-20 miles per day. Tough first couple of days but much easier by the end of the trip. The rucksack had really great supportive hip straps which meant less weight on shoulders. And as to Robin's point - taking off the rucksack at the end of the day and walking around without any weight was comically easier. Same experience when doing a fully laden bike-packing trip a few years ago.
Thanks for sharing, Mark
I find age as each decade passes more difficult, also each persons gender, musculoskeletal quality. If rucking can counter frailty than worth doing.
Are U male or female?I think men have a stronger shoulder structure than women and are able to carry more weight on their shoulders
Female yes men likely will find easier.
I started with a dumbbell (a 5lb. then 8, then 10) in the bottom of a backpack and that altered my posture so I went to a weighted vest which transferred the weight to my hips by means of the strong Velcro straps from back to front, was more balanced front and back, and much more comfortable. I had already started losing weight from my walk and as I only recently started, I’m not sure what if any effect. I also have a body composition scale and am hoping the vest helps with bone maintenance (I’m an older woman). Wish I had those results for you. Oh, it has not made me hungrier, but I am making a protein powder + collagen powder (1/2 & 1/2 servings) shake with glucomannan powder, a filling fiber, which has blunted my appetite. Yay.). Working on losing fat while maintaining muscle and ideally building some bone with well-researched supplements. I initially lost 2 lb muscle per my scale so I have upped all my resistance training and increased protein intake. My walk is an hour. I get on the scale every Friday to give things a chance to work.
Having you talking about Goku training method in real life is dream come true. Almost need to watch this in 50% speed to savour it 🔥🔥🔥
Haha - next I'll cover the Hyberbolic Time Chamber...
nah, 2x speed is like weighted clothes for your brain
@@Physionic Could be a funny little video tbh
@@Physionic Hyperbaric might be nice 😁
@@PhysionicYou'll cover training at 450x gravity first.
Awesome science. I have ordered one yesterday. Can wait to use it!
I’m going to start wearing my weighted vest when I walk the dogs. Thanks!😊
As a guy who was out of shape when he first joined the army, i had to do a lot of walking at ft Benning and at Ft. Richardson in Alaska.
If I were to design a vest, it would include an adjustable belt and adjustable shoulder straps to even out the weight distribution to the comfort of the user thru out the day of use.
We humped with over 60lbs for miles at a time. Sometimes with snowshoes or cross-country skis.
No kick back needed. Design and produce as my contribution to the channel. 😊
all right, just finished watching the video. I started with 40 pounds and it took me 63 minutes to finish 3 miles over hilly terrain. now I'm at 50 pounds with a time of 47 minutes for 3 miles. I don't know if I'm an exception, but I feel strong and light on my feet now. I walk a lot at work and it feels much easier now. nowhere near the same level of fatigue.
Do you pad the shoulders. I used a 60 lb vest for around 5 months. Just started using again after a year. I forgot how painful it got on the shoulders. I used six sponges to try to cushion the shoulders but after a couple miles the pain required that I keep trying to shift the weight. Perhaps my problem is that I do not have much in the way of shoulder muscles so maybe that’s my issue.
Having said all that, I dropped lbs like it was going out of style. And my walks without weights were turbo charged.
@@JesseTorres90266 no, I don't know if this makes any difference, but my shoulders have a pretty good layer of muscle. nothing crazy, but a good bit of padding.
I LOVE elephant vest! I have been using them for years now. I'll never go back!
I chose to just put on 30 pounds of overweight, so that I can have this effect all day without any unnecessary extra gear... Building up to 50 pounds soon to increase the workload
😜
This is the way.
😂
Done…
Wait what
took me sec...500IQ move. Why the train the heart for 2 hours every week when you can fight for your life every minute every day
You do a great job I really appreciate your channel thanks
I tried an 8 lb weighted vest for a 1 mile/day walk and after a few days my knees hurt so much I couldn’t walk at all for 2 weeks. 😫 Life is different after a certain age. At a time when exercise is even more important, it is also the most risky. The sweet spot between enough and too much becomes very small.
It does.
there is always sweet-spot, whether One's older or younger. my Friend did a lot of running and free-running and has ended up with bad knees. my approach to this matter may be not very scientific but I believe that too much exercise is not good. regards.
This you may not have been your knees but the muscles around your knees.
I would gently squeeze each muscle where it wraps around the knee and see if any of them feel painful. The smaller parts of the muscle can become overworked and freeze.
Also one good way to lubricate the knees is sit down and hang your legs off of something and then swing them gently for 10 minutes while you watch a video.
I’d also check your gait. Your glute medius hip flexors can create a lot of pain when they aren’t doing their job.
yes, I just use two books in my backpack which equal 2kg as I walk 5k, anything more my ankles and knees hurt. go slow, its better for you to work up, as soon I get a pain in the front of my knees I know its too heavy. I started with 1kg and went to 2 but 2.5 is too much.
ELEPHANT VESTS!!!🎉 I'm thankful to them.
But also, I'm thankful to you for reminding me to get 20 minutes of Weighted walking in each day. I look forward to seeing the results in a month.
Good for you!
It’s all about the math and physics right?!? Makes perfect sense! The more weight, the more physical exertion needed, the more calories burned = weight loss. Bonus: and accomplished over shorter periods. Loved learning from you the physiology behind it! Fascinating stuff!
School is out so it is time to strap on some extra weight during my walks. I’m thinking at my age (61) start small and work up to your 11% body weight max by throwing a small plate in a backpack and ruck that puppy. I also like the idea this duplicates real-world, future hiking goals - which I’m assuming a weighted vest does not.
I follow Robin too. I bought a redlight mask after watching her amazing video about her experience. I am loving it. Also started using Tretinoin and a zinc mask occasionally. Thanks to you, now I will probably be buying an Elephant Vest. Be well, all.
Elephant vests are very sturdy. Thank you for your support. Let them know I sent you.
Well... Let's just hope she doesn't demo an actual elephant, because then you'll really have your work cut out for you 😜
🥰 this makes my day!
Next I’ll have to try combining a light mask with weighted belts on the treadmill.. quite a fashionable and efficient combo ✨
I started rucksacking last month. My first week, I carried 20lbs, and the first day or two I had alot of discomfort in my Traps, as I struggle to relax my shoulders I was tensing up while carrying the backpack. By the second week, I was on to 25lbs, and by then it felt way better on my upper back. I was beginning to feel it in my legs, especially during hills. The Third week I increased to, you guessed it, 30lbs. This felt way more significant and I began to experience hypertrophy and muscle soreness, mostly in my calves. I should mention that as a baseline,these were all 1 hour brisk walks, pushing a stroller as well. For the first time, I had to take a rest day and not do 4 or 5 consecutive walks. This past week I have been on two walks with 35lbs, and it feels good while walking, but my body feels way more taxed later on the same day, and the following day.
My starting bodyweight a few weeks ago was 173lb, I am now 168. I can notice the little bit of love handles I had are now tight, and I can only grab about half as much belly fat as what I could before. For my diet, I've been focusing on protein and low refined sugar. My appetite reminds me of when I was roofing, I used to eat two suppers every day, and I was still losing weight. It's not to that degree, but the feeling is familiar. My calves have changed dramatically (for me) , the muscle definition is popping and they feel stonger. I had been doing weighted standing calf raises as part of my weight training, but never felt the soreness or tightness that I've felt from rucking.
I'm going to continue with the 35lb for now, and may increase the intervals in which I go up in weight. If I continue to require rest days, I'm going to try decreasing the load, as my goal is to walk 5 days a week, and lose my stupid belly fat. 😂
Weight vest walking has been my go-to. I can attest to all she said. I am up to 32.5 lbs in the vest and have added 10 lb ankle weights and 8 lb dumbbells for up to 2 miles now. Of the many benefits I am experiencing the one that freaks people out is my standing heart rate of between 50 and 55. One really needs to focus on keeping the shoulders back to avoid the shoulder pain. Posture posture posture. Highly recommended for anything from zone 2 thru zone 4 workouts.
After I joined the Army and went to OSUT, I dropped 25 pounds in about 3 months. I attribute part of that to the miles of ruck marching with at least 45 pound rucks.
This isn’t new. Military has been doing this for years in basic training. It gets even more intense in special forces! Long marches with ruck sacks as much as 120 pounds over 40-50 miles. Lots of body fat lost, and greater endurance and muscle tone was gained! Believe me, you are hungry at the end of these marches! Good information though!
120 lb over 40-50 miles. That doesn’t sound like humanly possible!
@@k14michael
The book "Bravo Two Zero", about SAS operations in Iraq, describe carrying 200 pounds for long distances. They train for that.
been using weighted vest w/ the weighted idk, gauntlets and leg weights for abt a year. I workout w/ it for abt an hour a day.. situps, pullups and jog w/ it. I've lost 60+lbs this year. I noticed more toned muscles too and I feel so much stronger
i'm picturing mice wearing weight vests.
Lol
actually it's much finnier - I think they had lead suppositories.
Thank you for explaining the difference between weight I've added -- that the doctor wants me to get rid of -- and external weight for overall toning fitness. I think I know what I'm getting myself for my birthday.
I put my hand weights into my back pack to equal ten per cent of my body weight, and have been walking with that. It’s termed rucking. no need to spend on equipment since I can modify as I get stronger. This is really fun climbing the hills in my yard.
Consider a proper hiking backpack. You carry it on your hips which avoids burns on the shoulders or even problems with the blood circulation getting cut off. You can gain muscle when loading up to more than 10 kg.
Bro I just started this 3 weeks ago. Great timing.
How’s it going?
@@Physionic it’s good. It’s not life changing if you’re already training. I find it a great way to get my cardio in. I’m working up in weight with a ruck and trying to add a suitcase carry as well
TLDR: Toddlers are nature’s weighted vests.
At one point in time I had three toddlers at once (twins & a younger one) and walked around holding each of them multiple times per day, including up and down stairs-not because they couldn’t walk but because it was a way for us to get one on one bonding time, and they and I loved it. They probably weighed about 20-40lbs. It was also the period in my adult life when I weighed the least without even attempting to diet, and it never occurred to me that carrying their extra weight was probably the reason.
I have been carrying a 5-10kg rucksack daily for the last 15 years. I kind of injured my back because of that in the first few years. But after having my back fixed and strengthened with proper exercises, I have no problem nowadays. According to my iWatch, Fitbit and Oura ring, definitely my exercises intensity increases and I supposedly burn way more calories walking with my rucksack, up to 40% more. I’ve been doing keto and fasting for the last 8 yrs anyway, so I don’t get hungry whether I do exercises or not.
I use both a weighted vest (25lbs) and a belt (20lbs) for up to 45 minutes each day. I do squats and lunges with them on, often on a vibration plate. Yeah, I got it all! I started a year ago to increase my bone density, which only went up 1%. I didn't know it is normal. BD cannot ever return to normal. I should be glad I gained that 1% back.
Of course, I am working on gaining another 1% by next March!
I tried it a few times. For the shoulders I used a bowtie from spud inc. Basically keeps your shoulders retracted which makes it feel a lot better
Good video! I say just go with resistance trainining with BFR bands combined with Farmer’s Carries for bettter outcomes
Love your channel. Was wondering if you could do a series on the statistics used in bio research. thnx
What do you mean, Gary?
I remember the moment after I gave birth (at 41 weeks) I almost floated across the room because a huge weight had suddenly been taken off my body. Nobody EVER asks pregnant woman this question.
Maybe its a psychological relative effect ? Like when we put our hand in very cold water, and then in cold water, the cold water feels "warm"
wonder how long it took for the floating effect to wear off. 2-3 weeks ?
@@Abhishek_78 I only lost 15 from giving birth, but within the next 3 weeks or so, I dropped another 25. A lot of extra water is part of the weight.
I haven't tried a weighted vest ... Yet
What I have been doing for a while though is wearing roughly 30lbs of ankle and wrist weights for around 6 hours 3 days a week, I work from home in a job that involves mostly using a phone and computer, figured using a standing desk and wearing the weights, particularly on days I won't be exercising in the evening would probably be beneficial
Seen some great results, turns even simple daily activities like going to the kitchen to get a drink or make some food into an exercise, two examples of what I've seen happening since doing this are the time I can hang for has greatly increased and I can now take stairs three at a time despite having a collapsed fracture right across my right patella
Having watched this I plan to get a weighted vest and mix it up with wearing the weights, probably end up seeing what wearing both together does
I would love to know if you feel like using a weighted vest with the appropriate amount of weight for your size and bodyweight would help with osteoporosis and osteopenia? Thank you for all the wonderful content on your CZcams channel…
Elephant vest 🐘🐘🐘🦺🦺🦺 !!! Just got back into the country, first video i have seen in weeks. I travel with a backpack 🎒🎒 guess that's like a weighted vest !!
Ive felt this myself after a few days of hard work carrying heavy stuff at my ex job, first day or 2 super shit low appetite but after that strong and hungry
Great content. I am going to add weight to my walking. Best sponsor ever. The elephant can help prune my trees.
I've been wearing a weighted vest for incline pushups ( 25 per set, 175 to 200 total ) over the last 2 months. Worked the weight up to 30lbs, at this point. Weighted vest is a phenomenal tool for gaining strength and endurance.
This was a fun video!
Glad to hear it!
I never thought of this. I'm curious now to try this. I'm just super curious to see what it would be like to carry around the extra 70 lbs I've lost through OMAD ketovore.
Hey Nicolas, couple of points (numbered, of course): 1) For someone who is thugnificent like me, the vests are too small; better to get a bib type configuration. 2) Divers know, weighted belts suck worse for wearing than vests. TLDR, get a bib for awesome success.
great video!
Is progressive overload necessary for this sort of exercise? For bone health and fat loss
Fascinating insights. Also, Any chance you might cover red light/infrared therapy research regarding dementia and eye health? Seems to be trending. Love your channel but Robin is easier on the eyes. ;-)
I have a 20lb vest that I’ll wear for an entire work day at least from the time I get up to the time I get home but I’m thinking of buying a 30 pound one for workouts of up to a max of one hour I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to go beyond 10% of your body weight for an extended period so that it doesn’t end up ruining your joints I’m 225 at 5’8” trying to get back down to about 180 I got my gallbladder taken out back on December 13, 2019 and although after being in the hospital for a few days, I drop down to about 169ish It didn’t take long for me to start going back up I’m 29 when I have my gallbladder, I never saw 190 anything. My full-time job is pretty sedentary as I work in an office. My part-time job is where I get most of my walking in since I’m a courtesy clerk at Safeway, so I’m out here pushing baskets Putting groceries back on the shelf, cleaning spills and bathrooms, etc. so it’s a lot of walking involved that should help me burn extra calories that I wouldn’t be burning at My full-time
I heard we should try to work our way up to wearing 1/3 of our body weight (Dr Peter Attia). This practice is called "rucking". The better rucking vests or backpacks will not cause shoulder or neck discomfort.
That’s the kind of commercial plug I can get behind😂😂😂❤
As one of the millions of people living with osteoporosis, I'd love for you to do a video on osteoporosis physical therapies and drugs and what the evidence shows for those subjects.
Hi there, would the vest work with cycling while wearing it. Thanks
Im surprised you didn’t touch on the theory going around that a weighted vest increases your BMR. I trust your opinion over anyone’s, have you looked into this at all? Where the body thinks you’re heavier than you actually are and thus increases your resting metabolic rate? Would love to hear your thoughts and studies on this!
Here's a quick tip. Make sure you're able to utilize the weighted vest you buy. I bought a 40# name brand unit and I need someone to help me put it on when it's fully loaded (to slip on over my head). Some can be difficult to use.
So I'm not crazy filling my hiking backpack with books and walking around the house with it. Well, time to move outside.
The waist strap is a lifesaver for my delicate, petite lady shoulders.
20-30 lb. vest is very heavy for a woman . Most exercise physiologists recommend carrying no more than ten percent of your weight in a vest.
Even wearing an eight pound vest, I can feel a big difference in terms of physical exertion.
I guess all the serious hikers disagree, but wait they are used to it strong and fit. Btw female sherpas carry their own weight average so about 60kg. and i didn't find any scientific paper about injuries. We just sit too much and slowly turn into jellyfish the whole society.
@@googoo7750well I think the recommendation is not for just walking and hiking, but for running etc.
@@googoo7750 I would say that 10% of bodyweight is a good starting point when you've never carried weight for a longer time. For hiking, it's ridiculously little equipment you can carry with that limit. I would be able to carry only a 5 kg rucksack which isn't enough if I want to take a lightweight tent and other equipment with me. For a day trip, it's fine though. My rucksack weighed about 12 kg for a trip with an overnight stay in a tent including food and drink. I prepared for this by carrying my groceries up six flights of stairs, I never used the elevator; and walking/running with a 4-5 kg rucksack first before I went heavier. You can definitely build up to carrying heavier weights with time.
Interesting idea. Walking/hiking is something, I very much enjoy and do a lot. I do loathe carrying a heavy backpack, though. Not because of exertion, but because it makes my shoulders and back hurt like crazy. If there are indeed weighted belts, that might be something for me to look into for me!
sounds like you need a proper hiking/trekking backpack with a padded hip belt. With those the weight is carried entirely on the hips and the shoulder belts are just for stability.
Great video!
Does this mean bones can actually increase density in adulthood, or were these mice young?
I've noticed this as well. I really wasn't looking for fitness benefits, just protection from Frankish blades on the field of battle.
Please keep it simple and use a backpack. That is standard rucking, it will carry well and improve your posture while using it.
In the military they call the rucking..
Just walk with a proper fit hiking backpack with waist support and add enough gear/weight to hit your number and you're good...
No need for a special vest or belt, just basic gear you either have or probably want will get you all the way
So this is basically my main cardio / leg training modality .... aswell as 3x per week strength training via calisthenics i ruck 2x per week 30 pounds in backpack generally between 10 and 15 miles i add sprints on the lower trips which usualy last betwe 3 and 5 hours ...... needless to say im quite fit and lean as a personal trainer i feel this is a highly slept on form of weightloss and overall leg training with huge gains in mobility and athleticism
Any reliable ways to calculate energy expenditure for these trips as there are tons of variable ?
Can you give your take on Allulose Is it similar to Ozempic? Are there studies on this?
but how does it compare to a typical leg workout? Or running? Can you combine?
My dog refers to my vest as the "we are going for walk vest". Based upon the number of comments you would think weighted vests were popular, but I rarely see anyone wearing one where I live.
I am not sure if I am following this correctly, so if you walk with added weight this forces the osteocytes to send out signalling factors that enhances bone strength by increasing density of matrix material in the bones ???
This would be fantastic for elderly people who are subject balance issues and falls.
? Is carrying good/bad/natural for osteopenia. Also, is there too much compression on lower back causing increase curvature? I use to carry my babies (4) each time in a baby carrier, which was easy in my 20s 30s...now 56 I would struggle with a weight. Curious to ponder bones, muscles, nerves, thankyou.
Is there a significant difference between the vests and traditional rucking with a pack?
good jokes, makes the presentation more fun. Thanks
I use ankle weights, no spine/shoulder compression 😊
I knew there was real science going on here when I heard you use the metric system. Very good science bro. 😁
Where do yall buy weighted vest and any aide effects frommwearing one on your spine, neck, hips?
This might just be because I've been looking into it recently, but what's the impact of this kind of thing on aging biomarkers or from cardio exercise in general? There's a lot of research that covers the effect on health, but I haven't found anything that touches on the effect on biomarkers specifically.
Thanks man. Starting to watch.
Just a question or interesting topic that i think you didnt make a content.
The topic would relate to Gaba and glutathione balance imbalance and support.
I see topics of „gaba maxxing „ topics and supplements everywhere as if theanine, taurine and other substances are way for health of brain.
As the topic is complicated and most likely so called gaba maxxing is half truth it would be interesting to see if hyped substances like theanine are really important and why
Thanks bro!
I try to do my "Roman March" (read somewhere, that legionaries usually made 20km/day and the typical load weighted around 20kgs)... still not there... I do my 20 kms in 5 hours, but still carrying 16kgs (I began with 10 kgs vest). According to Fitbit, without weight I do some 250-300 cal/h, with 10kg vest it goes to 500-530 cal/h. I was disappointed to see that increasing the load to 16kg just increased the calories consumption to 550 cal/h.
Any concerns about an increased risk of plantar fasciitis??
TBH, I’ve seen these weighted vests in the military and I use one because it’s easier for me.
Thanks for the video 😊💎
Now I understand why I feel better and my posture feels beeter and more comfortable in the days when my backpack is heavier.
A popular fella named Goku would wear weighted clothing sometimes even during martial arts tournaments. On average his weighted clothing total was near 140 lbs.
That's my body weight 😂, I would lay down flat without anime physics
I love the science and humor. As for mice talking does Stuart Little count? :) I shall pass on the elephant vest even the cute widdle one. :P
Rucking is a little better for posture too. Thoughts?
is this safe for the spinal-column? regards.
Question: if I subscribe to the baby elephant and it gets older and turns into an adolescent, can I exchange it for a new baby elephant or do I get charged for an adolescent
I would be interested in knowing what, if anything, the weighted vest did for bone density. As we age we naturally begin to lose bone density. Resistance exercises can help us slow down the process of bone loss and can even increase bone density to some degree.
Somehow your jockes are atrocious and yet your content is top notch. I think you master the art of balance. ❤
This makes PERFECT sense because it TRICKS the body into thinking it is too fat because of the added weight, THIS is the only TRUE mechanism that makes SENSE
I would bet 10 to 1 that this is wrong. The weight in kiloponds has no influence on metabolism, except that more power and force needed. We can test the hypothesis by examining people who wear weight as a profession. The sherpa of Tibet the independent state for instance. In many people, especially girls, in underdeveloped countries. Have you ever been to Africa? Another hint should be given by evolutionary medecin: we were once hunter-gatherers who had to carry weight for long distances.
There is a group of individuals that wear extra weight for several hours five days a week. Letter carriers.
That weight is carried by the bike though.
@@Freja_Solstheim Never heard of mail being delivered by bike actually.
@@georgeeliot2012 Where I live it was delivered by bike riding mailmen. Huge bag mounted on the front and two smaller bags hanging from the sides of the rear baggage carrier. The mailman himself only carried a small bag strapped across his shoulder for the valuables.
This was in a small town though. How is your mail delivered?
@@Freja_Solstheim @Freja_Solstheim In most cities and towns, mail is delivered by people who walk while carrying a bag. A bike would be neither practical nor efficient. In rural areas, mail is delivered by car or suburban van with a right-hand drive. Or, where there are lock box delivery stations, the mail car/van driver gets out and deposits the mail into the individual slots. Never heard of mail being delivered by bike - but I haven’t been everywhere, yet.
Mail here in Australia is typically carried by the "postie bike" with saddle bags on them. It's a small motorbike. For cities they are now using ev buggies.
