weighted vests
Heavy exercise garments
A weighted vest is a garment worn on the torso that contains pockets filled with small weights, used to add resistance during exercise or physical training.
The added load increases workout intensity, forcing muscles to work harder during activities like walking, running, or bodyweight exercises.
Weighted vests are also used therapeutically—some people with anxiety or autism find the distributed pressure calming, similar to a weighted blanket.
