Weight Vest

More challenge and faster progress

Advantages of a weight vest

- Adjustable weight for progressive resistance
- Suitable for strength training, cardio, and functional fitness
- Equal weight distribution for stability and comfort
- Freedom in motion without limitation

Frequently asked questions about weight vests

1. How do I choose the right weight for my vest?

The right weight depends on your training level and goals. Beginners usually start with 5-10% of their body weight, while advanced users can train with 10-20%. This provides extra resistance without limiting your technique or range of motion. Gradually increasing the load prevents injuries and helps your body adapt to the extra strain.

2. Is a weighted vest suitable for running?

Yes, a weighted vest makes your running training more intense and strengthens your muscles. This helps improve speed, strength, and endurance. Start with a light weight and gradually increase to avoid overloading. Make sure the vest fits snugly and is not too loose, so you can continue to move comfortably.

3. Can I use a weighted vest for calisthenics?

Sure. A weighted vest makes exercises like pull-ups, dips, and push-ups more challenging and helps with strength building. Choose a weight that does not restrict your movement and ensure that the vest stays stable. This prevents disruptions in your technique and helps you become stronger in a controlled manner.

4. How do I ensure that my weight vest stays in place?

Make sure to tighten the vest enough so that it doesn't move, but not so tight that it restricts your breathing. Adjustable straps and an ergonomic fit help keep the vest comfortable and stable. Test the fit before you start training by performing a few movements.

5. How do I maintain my weight vest?

Wipe the vest clean after each training session with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Allow it to dry completely before storing it to prevent unpleasant odors and wear. Avoid machine washing and aggressive cleaning agents, as these can damage the fabric and stitching. Store the vest in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
