Vested’s coaching and progression language must complete an independent qualified professional review before the public App Store release.
Start lighter than your ambition
Your first weighted walk should finish with energy in reserve. Choose a familiar route, a conservative load, and a duration that lets you notice how the vest affects your posture, breathing, and gait.
Fit before load
The vest should stay close enough not to bounce while allowing comfortable breathing and a natural arm swing. Stop and adjust the fit or load if your stride shortens, your posture changes, or the vest creates pressure or numbness.
Change one variable at a time
Add a little time, pace contrast, or carried load—not all three together. Vested never increases your carried weight automatically.
Comfort is data
Pay attention during the walk and afterward. A session that felt uncomfortable may call for repeating, recovering, or adjusting rather than progressing.
When to stop
Stop activity and seek appropriate help for pain, numbness, dizziness, chest pressure, faintness, unusual shortness of breath, or a change in gait.
When to speak with a clinician
Consult a qualified clinician before weighted exercise if you have an injury, joint concern, osteoporosis, a cardiovascular condition, pregnancy, or another relevant health concern.
Vested is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or rehabilitation.
