“I was using a backpack with weights in it which worked ok but it started laying lower and lower which started to put a strain on my back. The Wolf Tactical weighted vest works very well for me. I am almost 59 years old and I walk 1.2 miles with the full 35 pounds three times a day-every day. Once a week I walk 6 miles all at the same time. I started at lower weights and worked my way up. I have lost quite a bit of weight and my core is much stronger and I feel much better overall. No issues with my knees or back at all. I highly recommend this product and I like it so much I purchased 2 of them- one for my walks at break at work and one for walks at home. I am down to 197 pounds and I stand 6'3". My hip and lower left back no longer bothers me and I have come to the realization that I cannot diet or stop and start exercise regimens. I was up to 235 pounds-again. I cannot diet and intermittently exercise but rather have to commit to a certain lifestyle regarding my ongoing exercise regimen and my eating habits. I have also had much success with intermittent fasting, eating a low carb/high protein diet, and my daily walks with my weighted vest and riding my Pelaton Bike 3 to 4 times a week. I will never allow myself to yo-yo diet again because that is pointless-You have to decide if you want to live to eat-or eat to live it is really that simple. Also recent studies have show with test groups that regularly drink Beet juice that over time they have been able to get off high blood pressure medicine and they have improved blood flow as well. Since I have no desire to drink that the good news is that you can get Flavored Beet Root Gummies which I have been using for several months. Also taking D3 with K2 has helped to virtually elimate the dreaded night time leg cramps which really are extremely painful. Also drinking tonic water or pickle juice really helps when you are actually having them. I have switched to Liquid IV electrolyte packets and that has also helped me. I drink a lot of water as well and take psyllium husk capsules because you really need that fiber on an Adkins type diet plus everyone over 50 is supposed to take Metamucil every day but that is like drinking paste to me-hard pass. Hope this helps!”
“This is really well built.Its tough material and very good stitching. Heavy duty hardware. I'm happy with my purchase You can add or remove the weights to fit what you are comfortable with.”
