No exercise is safe from the vest’s heart rate-spiking wrath – ‘even the most basic of bodyweight exercises, like squats and press ups,’ Ross explains.

This is partly due to your natural waist being the thinnest part of your torso, so the weight of the vest has a natural point to collect towards. There are many kinds of weighted vests available from very lightweight options to extremely heavy and bulky vests. There’s a Velcro sticking patch on both the front and back of the vest and the Velcro loops around the vest and then back on itself to tighten it up. The design of the Gravity Fitness Weighted Vest is very slim, allowing for easy wearing and taking off, as well as allowing for a free range of movement.

It has been designed to spread the additional weight evenly across you back and sit comfortably during dynamic workouts. Wodsox has crafted its sand-coloured Hero vest to match the look of a military flak jacket, but this is strictly designed for warfare of the fitness kind.If you’re feeling particularly masochistic, you might be tempted to strap on a vest and tackle hill sprints straight off the bat. You slide the Gravity Fitness Weighted Vest over your head and then tighten it with the Velcro strap around your chest. You yourself should not feel any complications with breathing either since your ribcage can expand to the sides and a portion of the weight is suspended by your shoulders. It’s fully scalable and modular for adjusting the difficulty of your workout, while the low-profile, adjustable shoulder straps ensure you can exercise effectively on the go.
