Still doing my usual loop
I do the same 45-minute loop before work and don't really have time to make it longer. Thought I'd give this a try. The first morning I left every pouch in, got halfway up the hill and decided that was a bit ambitious. Took some out for the next walk. I've found a weight I like now and mostly just leave it alone. Biggest surprise is that I actually remember to put it on. Keeping it next to the shoes helps.

Better use of my money
I cancelled my gym membership because I just wasn't going. Kept telling myself I'd get back into it, paid for another month, still didn't go. I do walk most evenings, though, so I figured this had a better chance. Been using it for eight weeks. Sometimes I leave it at home and just walk. But it's getting a lot more use than the membership did, and I don't have to drive anywhere first.

Taking my time with it
My daughter bought this for me. I'm 64 and already walk most mornings. I started with the pouches out and didn't rush to put them back. It's easy enough to change the weight sitting at the kitchen table before I leave. The buckles are fairly easy for me to manage too. I wouldn't say I forget I'm wearing it, especially coming up our driveway, but I like being able to choose how much I carry.

Didn't have to order anything else
Wasn't sure if the weights were a separate purchase. They're not. Opened the box and all six were already there. That was the main thing I wanted to know before buying, so there you go.

Fits over my walking clothes
I'm 5'4 and was worried the straps would be miles too long. Took a bit of adjusting but it sits pretty well on me. I wear it over a tshirt, not against my skin. Tried it over my jacket one chilly morning too and had to let the sides out a little. So far I haven't had to keep pulling it back into place on walks, which was what I was most worried about.

Happy with it
Easy to adjust. I leave it by my shoes and actually use it

Actually using this one
Six weeks and it hasn't ended up in the closet. That alone puts it ahead of most exercise stuff I've bought.

Good for my lunch break
I work from home and go out for half an hour most afternoons. At 5 lbs I notice the extra weight without having to rethink the whole walk. I was worried it would feel like a big piece of gym equipment. Its less of a production than I expected.
