If your regular jogging or walking sessions are just too easy, then maybe you can pump up your workout by wearing a weighted vest.
By carrying extra weight around while you exercise, your body will be forced to work harder, and you’ll burn more calories. Wearing the weight around your torso makes for even distribution, and it keeps your hands free. Fitness vests also tend to be less clunky and awkward than wrist and ankle weights.
Numerous manufacturers make these vests, which are available in different weight increments and in men’s and women’s fits. Some are a set weight (i.e. you get a 40-pound vest) and others are adjustable (pouches let you add or remove small weights). Prices start around $40.
