Heavy Weight Weighted Vest 0.5–5 kg (women's)

Product detailed description

Universal adjustable Heavy Weight weighted vest 0.5–5 kg,  ideal for women and younger athletes, also for running or other conditioning training.

Description:

Our weighted vest/vest with weights/training vest is handmade in the Czech Republic from quality European materials for maximum durability. Thanks to its specific manufacturing method, the vest is as compact as possible, so it stays firmly on your body even when running or doing any other conditioning training. This particular vest type is tailored specifically for women: it has a different cut and is smaller at the shoulders so it fits slimmer figures too. In addition, the strap around the body is shorter, so it wraps beautifully around a woman's waist and never sticks out. It is very comfortable, and a big advantage is the absence of weights over the chest, which makes it far more comfortable.

Two straps with wide Velcro fastening ensure a snug, adaptable fit to your body. The vest's size is universal and suitable for all body types. The weighted vest is designed to boost your effectiveness in any sport, training or physical activity.

Over the years, the Heavy Weight weighted vest has undergone many changes and innovations with input from professional athletes across all sporting disciplines. We continue to innovate and constantly improve and refine our products.

Weights:

The weight of the vest is freely adjustable from 0.5 kilograms up to the maximum weight of the given weight variant. The 5-kilogram variant is best suited to younger athletes, who should load their bodies gradually. Its cut is adapted accordingly. Ten half-kilogram weights included in the package. 

For the weights, we use a special loose metal product packed into bags made of technical fabric to achieve better adaptability and softness. Unlike the competition, we don't use sand or loose waste material, which is too light, bulky and dusty. Nor do we use metal plates or bricks, which are too dangerous and can cause injury. Our filling ensures safety during training and a level of mobility you won't achieve with other types of filling.

Another great feature is the versatility of the weights, which can also be used in our Czech kettlebags filled with the very same weights from the weighted vests, for your complete training.

We offer three variants of these kettlebags:

• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–20 kg
• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–30 kg
• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–40 kg

Use for:

Unlimited use of the vest in any type of training: ice hockey (on and off the ice), football, floorball, basketball, American football, rugby, combat sports, athletics, bodyweight training, workout, calisthenics, with TRX, and strength as well as conditioning training. The vest can be used on the body or held in the hand as a dumbbell or weight. 

Would you like to run with a Heavy Weight weighted vest? First read our article about running with a weighted vest. It's important to follow certain rules when using a weighted vest for running, so your training is effective and doesn't cause injury.

What effect does a weighted vest have? You'll find the answer to whether it's effective to use a weighted vest, weighted shorts or other weights in this article.

Another huge advantage is the option to buy an empty vest if you've already purchased one before. This means that when your vest wears out, or you simply get tired of the old design, you can buy a vest without weights (i.e. empty) and reuse the weights from your old vest. That makes your next purchase considerably cheaper. There are various weighted vest designs, or you can have a vest made to order with your own custom design.

• weighted vest 0.5–10 kg  without weights
• weighted vest 1–20 kg without weights
• weighted vest 0.5–10 kg with custom design without weights

Ideally, you should have both a weighted vest and a weighted dip belt and combine training with the weighted vest and our suspension trainer or with gymnastic rings in two variants: gymnastic rings with a narrower grip or gymnastic rings with a wider grip. Also combine your training with resistance bands or a resistance rope with a vest or a resistance rope with a belt.  Women also combine their exercises with wrist or ankle weights in any conditioning training, running and other activities.

As an ice hockey player, or simply someone who likes to have fun while training, you can glide with your vest on the slide board — in other words, a skating trainer.

After consulting the coaches of UFC fighters, MMA wrestlers and boxers, we also discovered the importance of another product that protects the joints, shoulders and elbows: Heavy Weight MMA and boxing resistance bands.

Dynamic exercise is a truly specific form of training these days, with highly interesting and effective tools such as medicine balls in various weight variants for jumps, stability exercises, punch training and other types of workouts. Right behind them come the widely used Bulgarian bags and battle ropes, perfect for strengthening the shoulders, forearms, grip and wrists — in fact the whole body.

Do you train in comfort? If not, you should — put the soft Heavy Weight exercise mat under you for sit-ups and other exercises.

When training with a weighted vest/vest with weights/training vest, you shouldn't forget about recovery. Muscle recovery is part of every training session, and the Heavy Weight foam roller, for example, will help you with that.
