Weighted vest review

[MAYNARDSMOM]

One of the items I bought was the weighted vest. I've used it a few times with weight training & loved it. Today I went for a walk/jog (not something I ususally do in my WO's) & wore the vest. WOW!! Talk about taking it up a notch. On the way back I started jogging & by the time I got home I was soaking, had to take another shower. Well worth the money!!!

I can't get over how 10lbs adds to the intensity on my elliptical. I was getting tired. I was thinking this is how most people feel with 10+ extra pounds. You know?

Oh man, now I want one...

Ok - I have been shopping over there. Do you girls know anything about the weighted gloves? Would they make a big enough difference to notice? I guess for kickboxing - maybe the TM too since I don't hold on. I need some new regular gloves too. Have either of you (or anybody else reading this) gotten any of the gloves? Not sure what size to get. My hands are thin but sort of big - got some long ol' fingers! Thanks in advance!

Shana,

I received my weighted gloves yesterday and really like them. I am going to start off using them for kickboxing and then maybe add them to other cardio. I think they will also help in increasing poundage slowly (can't remember the official term - micro-loading??). I bought a size large gloves because I thought I had big hands and I had read that Cathe wears a size medium. I think I should have gone with a medium because one poster stated that the gloves stretch over time. We will see what happens. Hope this helps and happy shopping.

Thanks, Carrie. I knew I had read that somebody had bought a large but wished for a medium! I guess I will see if I can still read what size my regular fitness gloves are. Thanks for the reply! Shana
