The Benefits of Adding Resistance to Functional Fitness

  • Improved Muscle Endurance:

    The additional weight forces your muscles to work harder, increasing stamina.

  • Enhanced Power Output:

    Training with added resistance helps improve strength and power across all movements.

  • Boosted Metabolism:

    More resistance means more energy is required, leading to higher calorie burn even after the workout is over.

  • Select an Optimal Weight:

    Choose a vest that’s 3-5% of your body weight for a manageable resistance while building endurance.

  • Maintain good form:

    Focus on your posture during all exercises to avoid strain or injury.

  • Wear it correctly:

    Ensure the vest fits securely to prevent it from shifting during dynamic movements.

  • Monitor your body:

    Pay attention to any signs of fatigue or discomfort and adjust your training intensity as needed.

Training with a Weighted Vest for Increased Endurance and Power

When training with a weighted vest, your body adapts by increasing muscle strength and cardiovascular endurance. The added load challenges your muscles to work harder and more efficiently. This progressive resistance allows you to develop increased endurance and muscle power, helping you perform better in both short-term sprints and long-duration CrossFit events.
