Love this. I’ve been thinking thinking about incorporating more walking seriously this year – other than just the coffee shop/grocery store dash! The benefits of walking seem to be becoming ever more highlighted, even over running, and the idea of the weighted vest is super interesting. 🙌💖

Weighted vest walking is a great trend we can all get on board with. 💜

I saw another British PT, online Owning Your Menopause, Kate Rowe-Ham, recommending them, too. Think I feel a link back to this and a follow-up coming on! 🙌 🤩

There's been a weighted vest sitting in my Amazon cart for a few weeks now. Reading more here about the research, benefits and reviews of different types helps convince me to make that purchase. And I had no idea it was called rucking! What a fun word to say!

Yes! We'd love to hear your thoughts if/when you make the purchase and try out trucking yourself.

I'll report back! I have been wearing ankle weights around my house while cleaning, so that's been interesting! 🤣

I've also been thinking about buying a weighted vest but wasn't sure which one to purchase. Thank you for recommendations that have actually been tested. Ruck on! 🦋

Hopefully one on this list works for what you need!

I have the Zelus Weighted Vest in 30 pounds and was surprised that it didn’t feel toooo heavy. I can tell a difference after walks now. In a good way. I work up a little sweat.

I got a weighted vest for Christmas and already love it. But I think I'll need to revisit this list soon as mine is a set weight, and I can't increase it.
