The basic idea around weight vests is to add extra weight to our exercises that require body weight, such as walking, running, pulling, bending, etc. This increases the intensity of the workout, which otherwise would be simple and easy for us, thus increasing bone density, loading the skeletal system.
Wearing the vest with X-FIT weights, adjusting weight equal to about 10% of your body weight, you will be able to burn almost 8% more calories than you would burn without it. Remember that you have to burn about 7000 calories to lose 1 kg, so the more calories and the faster you will reach the weight you want.
Also by running wearing the vest with X-FIT weights you will be able to improve your speed. A survey of 11 runners showed that after using a weight vest they increased their speed by 2.9%. Finally, it is very useful in increasing strength in exercises that include their body weight, such as pull-ups on the balance, bends and jumps, sprinting, etc.
