Wearing a weighted vest while running certainly has many advantages and can help improve the strength, endurance and the fitness of a runner. If you would like to try running with a weighted vest to see if it benefits speak to your trainer/coach and look into the best vest for you.
Another benefit is that most weight vests allow you to add more weight as strength improves for greater workout intensity. With their high versatility, weight vests allow for a broad range of exercises, such as walking, jogging, rope-jumping, bike riding, core strengthening, and weight training. But before you go strapping on that 75 lb. vest for your next set up pull-ups, be sure youâre properly conditioned to carry the extra weight. When adding a weight vest to your fitness program, start out light then gradually work your way up to a heavier weighted vest over a few months.
