I've been wearing weight vests on and off, maybe over the last 7 years just to up my fitness game. It is one of the best things women 40 and older could do for their health. The biggest benefit of wearing a weight vest, especially women over 40 is that it improves bone density. Studies show that it decreases a woman's chance of hip fractures and all fractures. Even if you're just wearing a weight vest standing or walking, you're going to burn more calories, and it puts more strain on your skeletal system. The body then responds by improving our bone mineral density,and this is how we get stronger bones. Even just wearing a weighted vest
3x a week can even improve your V02 max, balance, and joint stability, which is freakin' amazing right ladies? I'm currently wearing a 12lb vest and I wear it on all my walks. It's the most comfortable one i've worn yet .You can start on a lighter weight vest if needed 5,8,12,18,20,25lbs etc. You can start just wearing it around your house doing your daily chores or even putting on your makeup lol to get the feel for it. Another benefit of wearing a weighted vest is that it pulls your shoulders back so it improves your posture and you know you're burning more calories when you're wearing it so that is the best right?
