Stop guessing and start loading safely!

A weighted vest is a game-changer for bone density and strength, but picking the wrong one can lead to more aches than gains.
Here is what you need to look for to keep your training effective and injury-free:

• The 5-10% Rule: Start with a vest that is roughly 5-7% of your body weight to ensure your form stays perfect. Work up from there 💪🏼

• Snug, Not Suffocating: Ensure the straps are adjustable to prevent shifting during runs or walks.

• Shoulder Comfort: Wide, padded straps are essential to avoid unnecessary pressure on your upper traps.

Better fitting gear leads to better movement.
