A hot topic in the community this week is the introduction of Weighted Vest Walks, a highly anticipated addition to the Peloton class lineup. These innovative sessions are designed to boost strength, enhance balance, and elevate overall fitness, sparking plenty of excitement among members and all of us at The Clipout! Weighted vest training not only adds intensity to your workouts but also offers significant health benefits, particularly for women navigating menopause…it really is a fitness treat for us Pelo-nerds🤓 and we love the surprise of a new style of class on the platform.

Weighted vest training plays a vital role in enhancing strength, improving bone density, and reducing the risk of falls and osteoporosis fractures. It’s also a fantastic cardiovascular workout, especially on the Tread, and can decrease your risk of premature aging, heart disease, and even cancer by 10 to 20 percent if coupled with 30-60 minutes of strength training weekly.

Here’s what’s new in this lineup of weighted vest classes:

• 10-minute Weighted Vest Walk with Rebecca Kennedy
• 20-minute Weighted Vest Hike with Rebecca Kennedy
• 30-minute Weighted Vest Walk with Joslyn Thompson Rule

Rebecca Kennedy took to her social media to recommend a couple of great vests for those looking to get started and answer questions that have been popping off in her Instagram account. If you’re looking to step up your fitness routine, this is the perfect opportunity.

Benefits of Weighted Vest Walks 

Why try a weighted vest workout? Here are some of the key benefits:

• Strength Building: Adds resistance to your walk or hike, helping to develop muscle strength.
• Better Bone Health: Improves bone density and helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
• Balance and Stability: Enhances core strength, reducing the likelihood of falls.
• Cardiovascular Boost: Wearing a weighted vest elevates your heart rate, giving you an efficient cardio session.
• Long-Term Health: Regular training lowers the risk of premature aging, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.

In this training, Rebecca emphasizes the importance of gradually increasing the weight and intensity as you adapt to this style, rather than rushing to achieve results. She also notes that once you’re ready—or if you’ve already been practicing for some time—you can progress to taking her standing core classes. This approach is versatile and easy to incorporate into your daily routine, whether you’re wearing it during a workout or even while walking the dogs. It seamlessly fits into both your lifestyle and training regimen.
