Yes I convinced the gym instructor at my gym some months ago to buy some KB’s.<\/p>\n

Coz they ain’t cheap – right ? I used them a bit but found it a little lame. Well having got my new weight vest it seemed the KB’s may be a good combination.<\/p>\n

Some barbell work is inconvenient with a vest (like bench press) – dead lifts are excellent though.<\/p>\n

Same with machines – its not quite what the vest was designed for. <\/p>\n

Kettlebells’s and the weight vest give the most killer intense workout you can imagine. Throw in some dead lifts and barbell curls and you will be sore the next day.<\/p>\n

I like to use my vest for 3 hours at a stretch. Normally this will include a weights workout and a good long walk. <\/p>\n

Really training with Kettlebells alone is lame – once you have hit them with a vest there is no turning back.<\/p>\n

Weight vests are serious kit – DO NOT RUSH !!!<\/p>\n

Be very careful to break in to using a vest – no plyometrics for the first 3 months. No running or jumping for the first 3 months. <\/p>\n

You want your hips, spine & knees to slowly adapt to the added weight. Do stretches and joint strengthening to adapt to the vest. After some weeks you can slowly add more movement oriented exercise.<\/p>\n

Weight training and walking are fine for the beginning as are low impact calisthenics like push ups and pull ups. <\/p>\n

After time you can add weight and plyometric moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
