If there’s one person you can trust in the fitness world to give you their BS-free, honest opinions it’s James Smith.
So when he tells you that something is actually good and can genuinely help you lose fat? Well then you listen!
What is it that gets the Smith nod of approval? None other than a trusty weighted vest. On his YouTube channel James breaks down all the reasons why this seemingly simple addition to your routine can make a big difference to your weight loss results.
He starts the video with a fast-paced breakdown of various methods people try when they want to lose fat, from fasting and tracking calories to drugs and supplements, all of which ultimately fall short of helping them reach their goals.
Then he gets into all the reasons why a weighted vest might be the answer we’ve all been looking for to actually get results.
At its most simple, a weighted vest helps by making our bodies work harder (and burn more calories) when we wear them during NEAT activities like walking, taking the stairs, and generally going about our day.
On top of that though, if you add some weight to your vest each time you lose weight then you’re effectively signaling to your body that you weigh more than you do. So your body keeps burning calories as if you were heavier, instead of your metabolic rate slowing down as you drop those lbs.
James really breaks this theory down in his video, so go check it out for a proper detailed explanation. But the key takeaway? A weighted vest really could be the answer you’re looking for if one of your big goals is fat loss.
