It is much safer and more effective than ankle weights, wrist weights, weight belt and backpack. Use it for your aerobic conditioning, strength training, weight loss, sports specific training, walking or around the house... the usages are limitless.

The basic premise of the Xvest is very simple:

- training or exercising the body at a heavier weight than it is accustomed
- strength, power, and quickness will improve

- By over-loading your body while doing those exercises at an increased weight than you are accustom to, you are creating a new level of resistance and reprogramming your muscles fibers and your brain to work under this new level of resistance.  Once the Xvest is removed, you are able to reap the benefits of that resistance that the brain and muscle fibers believe they are functioning at; therefore, vastly improving your overall endurance, quickness, vertical jump, strength and speed.
