Things I wish I knew before I started walking with a weighted vest 6 months ago ✅ It’s not a magic fix—but it is a powerful tool. ✅ I’ve lost 7 lbs post-menopause (without crazy workouts). ✅ Walking 8k–10k steps daily with my vest has boosted my heart rate, strengthened my bones, and made every walk more effective. ✅ It’s low-impact but high-reward. ✅ Start with a vest that’s 5-10% of your body weight. Increase the weight load gradually to avoid joint strain (ask how I know… 🙈) ✅ Pairing it with a healthy diet makes a huge difference. ✅ You feel stronger—mentally and physically. This simple switch changed the game for me. If you’re already walking, a vest might be the next step you didn’t know you needed. LTKOver40 LTKActive LTKBeauty
