Empower 8-Pound Weighted Vest for Women

Burn more calories in less time with the Empower 8-Pound Weighted Vest for Women (Model MP-3398R). This convenient vest adds hands-free resistance and weight to physical activities, including walking, jogging, hiking, biking, cardio, HIIT, gardening, and housework.

Designed to fit a woman's figure, the Empower Weighted Vest has a contoured x-shaped design that evenly distributes weight over your torso. It is made from soft, stretchy Lycra spandex and has side straps that adjust for waist sizes from 24 to 48 inches. Clips keep the vest in place during workouts to prevent chafing. A convenient pocket with elastic closure is great for small items and holds most cell phones. Reflective accents on the front and back of the weighted vest help you appear more visible in low-light conditions.

Note: Any person who is more than 30 pounds overweight should not use a weighted vest. A weighted vest can boost calorie burn, but it can also increase injury risk. Going too heavy can put excessive stress on your joints and cause injury.
