For my second workout I’ve been walking with a 12lb vest. I got the vest from Aldi a few years ago. It works! I really want a plate carrier vest, but those are pricey! A few times in the past I’ve put the vest and some weights in a pack and done that when I’ve wanted heavier.
Today I completed a Go Ruck Tribe workout with the vest under a light snow. I was walking through a random neighborhood so it was a little weird to stop and do squats and lunges in the middle of the road. But I like how it mixed up the walking a little bit.
