Today I ordered a weight vest from Wolf Tactical. I’ve been researching for awhile and I believe that I’ve picked a good brand. I was happy their website https://www.wolftacticalusa.com/ had a bundle deal. I chose a pair of 5.75lb curved weight vest plates to go with the weighted vest plate carrier. Somehow I also ended up with a free sling bag.
I’ve been using 2.5lb wrist weights for a couple of years and sometimes will wear a second set for a total additional walking weight of 10lbs. The weight vest weighs 2.5lb and plus plates will be a total of 14lbs. For the first couple of walks I will load only one of the 5.75lb plates as a test. That will be a total walking weight of 8.25lbs. I walk 6 miles a day during the week and 12 miles a day on the weekends. I’m hoping to be able to walk with both plates without any injury but with an improvement in cardio.
Lately I feel like my weight loss progress is slowing down. I’m hoping this new purchase will help.
