Weighted vest for athletes and amateurs: increasing strength and endurance!

Street workout is becoming fashionable among followers of a healthy lifestyle. Street training provides sufficient physical activity, which is an important means of improving health at any age. Independent exercise outside of gyms does not require financial costs; it is enough to find an outdoor sports ground equipped with a wall bars, horizontal bar, parallel bars or a horizontal ladder. Systematic exercises give good results, but at some point the athlete is faced with choosing a way to increase loads, as he strives to increase his strength, endurance and improve his appearance.

Increasing the number of repetitions of exercises and the duration of training does not lead to rapid achievement of goals, and busy people cannot devote too much time to workout. Even correctly composed daily 20-minute exercises bring enormous benefits, and each horizontal bar can increase the effectiveness of training by using weights.

Additional weight significantly increases the intensity of training; sometimes workout athletes hang pancakes on their belts, which is not the right decision from a medical point of view. But the vest does not cause harm to health, providing an even load on the spine. In general, buying a weighted vest is much more profitable than trying to make it yourself. Remember - stupid amateur activities can affect your health. And this is no longer a joke... At the beginning of 2000, professional athletes began training in vests with weights, and until that time only the military used such a device.

Beginners begin training with an additional load not exceeding a fifth of their own weight; this requirement can be easily met by purchasing the “Champion” model. This vest is sewn with rows of identical pockets for round universal cylinders of 0.5 kg each, which gives 20 kg when fully loaded. Each pocket is securely closed with Velcro, preventing metal parts from falling out. “Champion” with a zipper, precise fixation on the body is ensured by adjustable side fasteners, they also allow you to use the vest in the summer, putting it on a T-shirt, and in the cold season, when you have to train in a jacket, which increases the girth of the body. There are models suitable for people of both normal and large builds.

Having read all of the above, now you know what a weighted vest is for professional and amateur athletes, which means you have become another step higher towards your cherished goal, for which we congratulate you!
