+Wearing a weighted vest while walking can add more benefits:
Increases Workload
For people who are limited to low-impact activities such as walking, adding a weighted vest is a great way to vary the activity and add challenges.
Helps Build Bone Density
The extra weight from a vest puts more stress on the bones, helping to build bone density. For people who are walking to lose weight, a weighted vest can help mitigate the loss of bone mass that occurs with weight loss, especially in those over 65.
Burns More Calories
A weighted vest increases the amount of energy spent while walking. The extra weight increases the heart and respiration rates during exercise. The muscles must also work harder, increasing metabolism (energy expenditure).
Improves Balance
Walking with a weighted vest improves balance by strengthening the muscles around the hips, core, and legs. Wearing the vest itself also challenges balance, which can help.
Builds Muscle
Adding weight training exercises to physical activity can build muscle and increase your metabolic rate. Walking with a weighted vest adds weight to the exercise, thus increasing lean body mass and improving leg strength.8
Improves Cardio
Wearing a weighted vest increases the aerobic intensity of walking—elevating the heart rate and increasing oxygen consumption. These two factors improve cardiovascular endurance over time.4
Boosts Balance and Agility
A study of young soccer players showed that warming up with a weighted vest improved agility. The athletes were better prepared to keep up with the demands of a soccer game, which includes sprinting and repeatedly changing direction while running.
Improves Core Strength
Walking uses the muscles of the core—the abdominal and spinal muscles. Adding extra weight to the activity improves core strength.
