The general benefits of using weight vests and body weights for training come from the added resistance during movement to increase strength and cardio endurance. Used properly, weighted vests are also effective tools for getting more out of any bodyweight exercise and burning more calories. If you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, walking with a weight vest is an effective way to maintain or improve bone density. 

• What added benefits do you get from a Hyper Vest PRO? The patented two-way stretch fabric and super-thin small weights give you a fit like a glove. When you move it moves with you to load movement and improve strength. The zinc-plated steel weights are dense so you can load to a recommended 10-15% of your body weight without bulk. Strength training professionals recommend adding a 10 to 15 percent load for results. Adjustable weights allow for progressive loading for strength training. Hyper Vest weighted vests are supported by strength training science. Micro-loading weighted apparel with a fixed weight of a few pounds does not get the job done. 
• Enhanced Performance: The Hyper Vest PRO Weight Vest helps improve strength, endurance, and overall fitness by adding resistance to your body weight. The even weight distribution ensures balanced muscle development and enhanced athletic performance. Ultra-thin quarter inch weights allow you to progressively load, but keep weight tight to your core.
