I wasn’t sure if I should/could add weights to my walks because I can’t do much running. I wanted to give it a try but didn’t want to invest money unnecessarily. So I randomly decided to pack our glass jars and walked to our local recycling center. Usually I would just drive there but yesterday morning felt different, so I gave it a shot and ended up walking the whole way of 1km! WITH FREAKING 2 BAGS 🤪😂
My heart rate increased to 156 max and my pace slowed down by a minute. But overall it felt great to go all the way and I now want to take a further look into weighted walks.
It’s most likely best to start with smaller weights (I really feel my muscles today) but which ones are best to use? Like a vest or dumbbells? Wrist or ankle weights? What are you guys thoughts and if you have weights yourself which ones do you use?
