    I have used weighted vest for advanced things like Tae Kwon Do which involves a lot of jumping and kicking movements. I can say yes it does burn the calories and make you sweat bullets, but if you have any knee or joint problems, start light and be careful. I had one of the worst ankle sprains when I started because my body wasn't use to impact of an extra 25lbs.

    I do, but I wanted to add this to my weekly long walk/ run I do on the weekends outside.

    Why not just run faster?

    I use my weighted vest while I'm mowing the lawn or when I'm out walking with someone else and the pace is restricted for one reason or another. It's a great tool...

    I would recommend against a vest or ankle and wrist weights. The added strain on your joints is not worth it. Instead, increase your cardio activity by changing your current workout. Nothing drastic, just more challenging. Raise your heart rate and you should see the results.
