Body weights are ideal for any fitness activity, from water aerobics to running and other cardio activities. Adding weighted vests and body weights to your regular cardio training routine can add intensity and resistance, helping you get more out of your workouts.

How to Choose the Right Weighted Vest

The best weighted vest for you depends on your activity, whether you’re jogging, hiking, or strength training. Start with a vest that’s about 10% of your body weight to build endurance and performance safely. Increase the weight as you become stronger or more experienced. If you’re highly active or focused on muscle building, a heavier vest may be ideal. For walking, you can comfortably wear a heavier weight since it’s a lower-impact workout.
