Just got a puppy. I’m thinking of buying an X-vest and putting it on for the evening walk. We don’t go for long, just 15 minutes or so. I get other exercise as well — weights, martial arts, heavy bag intervals — but wouldn’t mind getting a little extra. Is putting on the vest worth the effort and the expense, especially considering the amount of time we’re talking about and the fact that I’ll be walking and not running?
How are you going to get the X-Vest on the puppy?
I think they are ideal for walking. I used to use a backpack with 40 pounds of weight but now that it is dark when I go home I haven’t been doing my evening walks.
The X-Vest must be far more comfortable but I imagine it would likely lead to injury if you ran with it.

Yes, it’s worth it!
Yes use mine near daily. Great for walking hiking etc and MUCH more comfortable then a back pack.
Then you can also use it other times. Chins, push up, various other BW exercises.
