Weighted Walking and Fitness Vest

As you can see by the chart below, the lower your weight is, the less calories your body burns while walking.

By adding weights to your vest, you will trick your body into burning more calories per workout.

Right now you are probably thinking that there isn't much of a difference in the calories burned for the differences in weight, however when you think of it this way, you'll notice that it really does add up.

* Each of your walking workouts lasts for 1 hour
* You work out 5 times a week
* You have lost 20 pounds and went from 200 pounds down to 180
* You will now be burning 44 less calories per workout

44 x 5 = 220 calories less per week, 880 calories less per month and 11,440 less calories per year burned. So the more weight you lose, the less and less calories you will be burning.

Now let's change this around a bit. Let's say you have lost 20 pounds, but you now have added 1 pound of weight for each pound of weight you have lost.

Your calories burned will stay at the higher rate PLUS, since you have added weight on to your body, you will be creating more lean muscle which will also burn more calories 24/7 and these extra calories burned is in addition to the additional calories you will burn wearing your vest! So don't let the small numbers in the above example make you shy away from wearing your weighted vest, they are only part of the equation.

In essence, your calorie burning furnace will burn higher and longer for you each day. Now your getting it!

You will accelerate your weight loss without eating less or working our more. Sweet!
