Add some weight to daily activities
Roy M. Wallack / LA Times - Sept. 26, 2005
Weighted workout vests are a popular training tool for pro and college sports teams, but they can benefit a variety of people who want to enhance their workouts and training. The idea is as simple as a baseball player swinging a weighted bat in the on-deck circle: If you condition your body to exercise with an added load, you gain enhanced endurance, quickness and speed when the weight is removed. Some say weighting the core of the body is safer to your joints and back than ankle or wrist weights. Best of all, you can benefit from using a weighted vest in such activities as running, riding, weightlifting and gardening.
Train like the pros
X-Vest: High-performance vest used by Navy Seals and professional athletes.
Likes: Very comfortable at all speeds and body movements. Two-piece clamshell design, with nylon surface and elastic Velcro waistband and adjustable height and width, does not affect arm motion, balance or breathing. Most stable of the brands tested; it barely moved even during fast running. Keys and wallet fit in the weight pocket. Available in 12- to 84-pound models.
Dislikes: None.
