Weight Vests

Sometimes making a workout harder is as simple as adding a little weight. A weighted vest adds resistance while keeping your hands free, making it easy to increase the challenge of bodyweight exercises, conditioning workouts, walking, and other movements without completely changing your routine.

Wear a weight vest for squats, lunges, push-ups, pull-ups, step-ups, carries, and other bodyweight movements, or add one to a walk when you want to bring some extra resistance along for the miles. With the weight distributed across your torso, you can keep moving naturally while turning familiar exercises into a new challenge.

Weight vests work with a wide range of exercises, which makes them an easy addition to strength, conditioning, and bodyweight workouts. Add resistance to push-ups, pull-ups, air squats, lunges, step-ups, burpees, and other movements without needing to hold a dumbbell, kettlebell, or weight plate.

You can also use a weighted vest for walking, stair workouts, and conditioning sessions when you want to make simple movements more challenging. Pair it with the equipment already in your home gym or build an entire workout around bodyweight movements. Strap it on, get moving, and make your own bodyweight feel a whole lot heavier.

The right amount of weight depends on the exercise, your experience, and the intensity you want from your workout. Start with a manageable load that lets you move comfortably and maintain good form, especially if weighted vest training is new to you. You can always add resistance as you get used to training with the extra weight.

PRx Weight Vest Plates make it easy to choose the resistance that works for your training, with 5.5 lb and 8.5 lb plate pairs available. Because the PRx Weight Vest has pockets in both the front and back, the plates stay close to your body while you move. Choose your load, adjust the vest for a secure fit, and put that extra weight to work.
