Hi together,

recently (over the last 6 months) I lost about 13 kgs, my “fat loss” feels like it has been stalling a bit and I’ve been in a caloric deficit for quite a while. Albeit a comfortable deficit but according to my calculations still around 500 kcal.

I purchased this 10kg weighted vest and have been wearing it during normal daily activities (walking, working at a standing desk etc.). Only for a few hours so far. It’s comfortable enough to wear it prolonged times, and I’m looking forward to my first hike and some light runs with it.

What are your experiences with weighted vests? How do you use them? How do you incorporate them into everyday live without it being weird?

    Update: I’ve been using my vest from time to time. Not religiously, and only on rest days. 10kg is very easy to carry and doesn’t feel extremely taxing. I use it when I go for a fast walk or when I know I’m shuffling a lot of stuff around my place.

    I don’t feel overly exhausted or fatigued by it. Will post a second update once I took it on a longer hike.

    Thanks for all the tips and feedback!
