Description

Weighted vests are everywhere right now--and that’s definitely not a bad thing. But there’s a lot of buzz going around out there and I know many of you are wondering:

👉 Will they make you stronger?
 👉 Will they actually build bone density?
 👉 Or is it just another overhyped “fitness hack”?

In this episode I’m cutting through the noise with what’s actually true (and what isn’t). I’ll share:

  • The real benefits of weighted vests (hint: it’s not what TikTok says)
  • How to know if your vest is actually doing anything for you
  • Why intensity matters

If you’ve been tempted to buy one, or if you’re already walking around with 8 pounds strapped to your chest, this episode will give you the no bullshit breakdown you need to make the choice that’s right for you.
