Taking Your Workout To The Next Level
Weighted Vests and Creatine
Hey ladies, have you tried using a weighted vest? I just want to talk about a few benefits! A weighted vest offers numerous benefits for women who want to enhance their fitness routines. Adding extra weight to workouts increases the intensity of exercises like walking, running, or strength training, helping to boost calorie burn and improve cardiovascular health (we all need a healthy heart as we age!). This added resistance can also enhance muscle strength and endurance, particularly in the upper body and core. Additionally, a weighted vest encourages proper posture. After my first mile walk with the vest on, my core was so sore the next day. My husband wore it the next day - we made it 2 miles and he was sore as well! 😁
My vest weighs 16 lbs, which is heavy, but I do a lot of strength training and wanted something to up my strength game. Ladies, we start losing muscle mass at the age of 30! Yes, 30! which is crazy. Not only does this vest aid in building muscle mass, but it also helps build bone strength. As we get into our midlife, we start losing muscle and bone mass. Super fun, right?!
I purchased my vest through Amazon.

Another benefit to muscle building is testosterone, which we also start losing at or around 30... Not only does that hormone help with muscle, but it also helps with mental health and energy - it's our "get up and go" - and it helps with libido, the list goes on and on.
The last thing I will leave you with is to find a clean creatine!
A few benefits of using a clean creatine:
* Enhanced muscle performance
* Cognitive benefits
* Counteracts tiredness
* Strength- muscle mass
I have been on full-hormone replacement therapy and using creatine, my weighted vest (even when I clean), and strength training (YOGA!!). I have noticed a HUGE difference in my muscle mass, definition in my muscle, my strength, and endurance!!
Nothing makes me happier when I hear, "WOW Lindsey, you look so different! You look so STRONG!".
You know what?! My whole life I just wanted to be skinny. At any cost! And now I actually choose Strong over Skinny, and DAMN it feels GOOD!
