Let’s have a little chat about weighted vests and women’s bone health.
Firstly, weighted vests aren’t some magic shortcut. They’ve been around for decades, but evidence supporting their benefits is still limited.
Here’s what most people forget:
👉🏻 If your body isn’t ready (i.e you have injuries, pelvic floor issues, low back pain, knee joint pain), adding weight can backfire big time.
👉🏻 Building foundational strength, balance, and impact is where the magic happens. Weighted vests are like a cherry on top, not the sundae.
So, what’s the takeaway?
⭐️Start with the basics.
⭐️Build a strong, resilient body first.
⭐️Consider your goals and what else is going on in your body.
⭐️Use tools like weighted vests to complement your journey- not replace it.
Have you ever tried a weighted vest? Or maybe you’ve been curious but unsure?
