Total: 90/100

I’ve been finding myself one-click away from any random GLP-1 brand that pops up on my screen. After two kids, my body is A TEMPLE THAT SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED tired. Sure, once a month I’ll get a kick in my step and do two to three strength-building classes, feel great about my progress, get my period and then heed the much stronger call of a heating pad and an extra hour of sleep. Simple solutions are enticing to me for this reason: I want to have abs and fit into my jeans from five years ago, but that’s just not where I’m at, and if I’m honest with myself, it’s probably not where I’m ever going to be. 

So, between my mouse hovering over generic weight loss shots and an occasional will to sweat, I found myself extremely vulnerable to the whole weighted vest thing. (All the hot moms are wearing them.) Weighted vests appealed to me because they can turn up the intensity of low-impact workouts (like walking my kids to school!) and even help promote bone growth. Toned muscles, aside, as I gear up to 40, my eyes are on my bone health. I’m prone to osteoporosis, and one of the most effective ways to fight it is through mechanical loading—literally putting healthy stress on your skeleton so it stays strong.

Turns out, wearing a weighted vest a few times a week is much easier than Darcy’s Monday 6 a.m. Arms and Abs class. Unlike that gym class, I have to walk my kids to school, so I might as well fold the vest into my lifestyle. After I became “weighted vest lady,” I discovered Omorpho. The brand was a bit intimidating at first to a non-muscled person, but I was intrigued: the athletic gear company designs micro-loaded apparel—clothes with weights evenly distributed throughout to up the impact of workouts. Yes, they have weighted vests, but my eye was on the PANTS. Should all the hot moms be wearing weighted pants? Here’s my review of the Omorpho weighted G-Tight.
