weighted vest

bcattoes · November 2011

I really hate that I can't get the same calorie burn from Zumba that I did before I lost weight. Has anyone ever tried doing Zumba or other aerobics in a weighted vest. If so, was it awkward? I expect it to take some getting used to, but was it ever comfortable and still fun?

What other exercises are good in a vest? I assume it would be perfect for squats and lunges (and much less awkward that trying to hold weights and do them). But anyone had success with other exercises?

my experience with weighted vests and exercises that require a lot of movement has bee less than stellar. i got some chaffing in the neck area which didn't bother me at first but the more i used it the worse it got. now i just use it for static exercises.

I think weighted vests would be better for hiking or walks, it might feel awkward while doing aerobics....

I've used my weighted vest while doing Tae Bo and I didn't have any trouble. What kind of weighted vest are you thinking about getting?

Are you thinking about getting a weighted vest like this? (Picture A)
