Hi: I've been surfing around the web for a weighted vest and weighted belt.  I've seen prices ranging from $45.00 USD to almost $200.  I'd rather spend more and get one that fits well and which I don't have to constantly adjust when I'm out on a run.  I like the one that I saw at hoopsking.com.  Does anyone have any experience with any of these products and/or any recommendations? Thanks! M

Thanks! I had a twelve-pound weighted belt that I used to wear when I practiced martial arts; it's still around somewhere, I think.  It was cordura nylon with pockets containing small, cylindrical lead weights, a bit like a cartridge belt, except they were totally covered.  It wasn't very comfortable, and unless you cinched it really tight (which made it even less comfortable), it bounced around a lot. Ask a woman with heavy breasts what it feels like to run without a sports bra.  The weighted belts and vests are similar.

Ask a woman with heavy breasts what it feels like to run without a sports bra. That would leave the cripple out, as (a) she has no breasts and (b) can't run.
