Weighted Vest 2kg 5kg 10kg Weight Vest, Weighted Vests for Men Women for Running Training Workout Jogging Walking Gym Strength Training

Having previously bought back supports on Amazon to try to stop me slouching, particularly working in front of a computer all day. When I walk, my shoulders are still hunched and I am developing that vulture forward bend in the neck. I found those unweighted braces with steel inserts ineffective and was still looking for something to force me to hold myself more upright and keep my shoulders back.Unboxed this weighted vest today. I weigh almost 50kgs and this is 5kgs. It is heavy to lift but a good weight on. The weight is distributed front and back but because there is so much more weighted area on the back, this does make me straighter, more upright, keeps my shoulders down and forces me to use my trapezius muscles between my shoulder blades keeping my shoulders open. Delighted.I haven't used it outside for walking yet because it is pouring down today, but I think it will be great for walks. This amount of extra weight also forces me to engage my abs which is an unexpected plus. It is large, even when the clasps are tightened to maximum, but for walking this is fine as the weight keeps it in place. If I was crazy enough to wear this much extra weight running, this would bounce all over the place because it is extremely loose for an average sized woman. I have (for 2 seconds) jogged on the spot just to see what happens, and the weight bounces horribly because it is not possible to secure, so while it might work for a larger person, generally not good for bouncing activities.In the interests of science, I also just did a couple of squats and single leg squats. This vest will be great for those, but given the weight I picked, will take a while before I personally could wear it for more than a few... OK, two.The only other observation is that this is shaped similar to a life vest. On each sides, holding together the weighted front and rear sections, there is a single elasticated strip. Given that the front clasps are adjustable with a long capacity, I think it would be better for joggers and bouncing exercisers if the side straps were not elasticated.I'm afraid, even in the interests of science, I can't actually do one press up with this amount of extra weight, but I think for you maniacs out there, this would be a good way to amp up your routine. It does work for plank.So great for posture when working and no-one can see you, great for walking, great for squats and minimal bouncing movements. Does not seem suitable for jogging/running.It seems well made. Just to observe that even if I were to replace the elasticated side strap or try to find a way to add straps to make this fit more snugly or more secure, I could not because it is cut for someone larger, like a much bigger woman or a man. This isn't a problem for how i want to use it, but it would be nice for the money if it were or could be made a better fit for my size.PS. Just took this off after the 10 minutes it took me to try a few things out and write this review. I feel so light! Very happy with this purchase.

Received yesterday and have been wearing for 6 hours and have it on this morning. I am off work this week and will be wearing every day, all day while doing my usual house work and daily stuff.I am a 5' 7" female, UK size 16 with rather large boobies, I have the top strap attached nearly to the smallest size and the bottom strap about 1/3 tight. It is really comfy to wear specifically across my shoulders. I am a decorator and my mum has just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and arthritis (she was a child minder and dinner lady for 30 years - very, very active, my grandad also had osteoporosis). I read a report on how wearing weighted vests can help with bone density and prevent or delay arthritis, so was interested to see if this small change could help with the possible delay of the inevitable.In terms of the quality of the product, it is well made, the weights are evenly distributed. I like how there is a good amount of weigh on the back and this, I feel, is helping with my posture or at least making more aware.The only downside is that these vests used to be really cheap - £20 for a 5kg in Argos and Wilkos before the pandemic. NOW you are lucky to find one below £40. As with all health related stuff once it becomes popular it also becomes expensive.Personally I think I will out grow this weight very soon, it is (according to reports), the optimum weight to see a difference in bone density and possible weight loss. Be interesting to see how that works along with a calorie controlled diet. Currently happy to wear everyday and looking forward to seeing if it gets in the way of work.I don't know if this will suit everyone, I have a very active job and use my upper body a lot - for someone who isn't used to lifting weights or has a sedentary job or lifestyle - maybe 30 mins a day to begin with til you get used to it.

Good sturdy weighted vest. I would have rated it perfect but I am a small framed woman and the vest does not tighten/fasten enough so when I run if bounces up and down that it starts to rub and sheaf causing discomfort. My only wish was that it had extra fasteners on the sides so it could be more form fitting and comfortable to run in

Comfortable & well made. Some weighted vets look like you're wearing a stab vest!! This one is a design and you don't feel like you're going on a police raid in it!!

I was a bit concerned as to whether wearing this weighted vest would cause discomfort or pain in the shoulder area. But not at all . Very good quality and very enjoyable to use .

Adjustable tight or loose. Fit well inside normal cloth. Frequently we wear it on short hiking around where we live. Satisfied.good value. Seems solid so far. Easy to dry after rain.

My daughter is slim and athletic and very fit. She runs in the 2 kg vest. The top straps sometimes digs in. She ordered the 5kg one also and returned it as it was too heavy to run in. She thinks it's a shame they don't do a 3kg one. The pocket on the back is too small to carry a proper bottle of water.

Easy to wear whilst on my treadmill, if you find it hurting your shoulders as that's where most of the weight sits, then simply turn it over and have the elasticated straps on your shoulders instead, it stops the shoulder burn. Although I only wore it that way once and that was due to me putting it on the wrong way, but it's really comfortable which ever way you wear it.I'm a woman's size 8 and so running with this on just isn't going to happen as it bounces everywhere, so I use it when fast waking on an incline on my treadmill.I got the 5kg version and although that's roughly 11lb in weight, I don't find it heavy at all, I do sweat like crazy when I use it though!
