I personally love using a weighed vest for certain body weight exercises but its definitely not suitable for everyone.

You may benefit from one if:
▪️You are getting over 10 reps on exercises such as dips and pull ups.
▪️You want to increase the intensity of your body weight leg training (first make sure you have tried Bulgarian split squat and pistol squat variations)
▪️You want to increase the amount of calories burnt during a session
▪️You want to increase the difficulty of your favorite body weight exercises such as push ups (remember you should try progressions like slowing your exercise tempo and exercises like archer push ups before just adding weight)
▪️You want to exercise without the use of a gym, int his case a weighted vest is a relatively portable option for outdoor training.

---------

Probably not suitable for you if:
▪️You are thinking about using it for running. Running is already high impact for your joints and adding more weight is really not worth the added calorie expenditure/ cardio capacity benefits.
▪️You cannot get over 20 push ups, 5 dips, or 5 pull ups.
▪️You plan to wear it for an entire workout including for high impact exercises. There are only certain exercises it is suitable for and it is also dependent on your level of relative strength.

In summary a weighted vest is really most suitable for intermediate to advanced lifters, there are plenty of body weight exercises that provide enough stimulus if chosen wisely and done correctly. Drop me a message if you are looking for one and need a hand choosing 🙏
