As someone who has bought these before. The bags that hold the black sand powder seem to always come apart. Make sure to bag them individually in ziplock bags or plan on having several bags empty out and the black powder stains bad. Three vests and happened to each one. But as 20 bucks can't expect much.
from my own experience, you won't lose weight with more activity alone, you must also improve your quality of diet and cut out most of the excess sugars, white starches and over processed junk food, which means learning how to buy and cook fresh ingredients yourself.

once that's done, i would not just walk laps around a park, that's a poor motivator. what i do is i pick a store i need to shop in, and i walk there and carry what i need back home. once that's easy, i shop at a further store, then further still, increasing my endurance and maintaining my interest in the walk.

if you live urban as i do, you should align your walk along mass transit lines so if you walk far and can't bare to walk back, you can simply catch a bus back near your home. i would NOT use a bike (trust me, i have one too) because you will consistently exercise a wider array of muscles walking than you do biking.

once you can go a few miles, then you may consider rucking to make your walk more exercise efficient because walking takes time, so if for example you have time to walk 2miles there and 2miles back, adding weight will exercise your like you walked 3+3 miles without having to spend 50% more time at it.

i hope some of this help, good luck.
i got this months ago at $27
i'm older and need to walk a few miles for health.

if you are new to rucking, this is a good sample vest.
i filled the lower rows with 10lbs of the sand bag
pull a 2nd t-shirt over it, so people just think i'm stocky.
once i feel more sure on my knees, i'll go to 20lbs.

i like how the weight is evenly spread out front & back
so i don't look like i got a rectangular boob job
i often wear a back pack full of grocery shopping
and wearing this does not interfere with my pack.

younger people may want to get something else
that can go up 40lbs for gals and 60lbs for guys.
don't confuse rucking weight with barbells,
just because you can lift 40-60lbs a few sets
does not mean you can walk a mile with them.

What exactly is this thing typically used for? Or what are the benefits of it?

Just to add some extra weight, while walking or jogging, to help you use more muscles and/or burn more calories and create more sweat?

I am in my 40s and I have been trying to get off of my ass and exercise and lose some weight, but it is difficult to actually get myself to do it. And when I have gone and walked around my local park, averaging about 1.5 miles of walking, it just doesn't seem like It's making any sort of noticeable difference. So, if something like this would help to make walking more beneficial and to have more significant effects, it is definitely something that I would be interested in.

If you wouldn't mind replying and sharing feedback, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much, for taking the time to reply and to share the detailed feedback with me. I sincerely appreciate it.

I will readily admit, my diet is absolutely horrible. Honestly, it is probably significantly worse than even most out-of-shape, overweight Americans - of which, I certainly am one.

So, I sincerely appreciate the advice. Thank you very much, again, for taking the time to reply and share the helpful information with me.

I've been using it (well, a 30lb one) for backpacking training using a stairclimber. Looks less weird than actually stuffing a backpack full of weights and using it at the gym.

Just remember the old adage--you can't outrun a bad diet.

Start small so you don't get discouraged. Set your goal a little farther each time. Changing your diet (even incrementally) will give you the energy you need to achieve longer durations and workouts. Another good low-impact exercise I like is treading water. My town has a nice YMCA with an awesome pool and an affordable membership. The beauty of treading water is that the more fat you lose and the muscle you gain will automatically make your workout harder. The less fat you are carrying means you will be less buoyant and you will need to work harder to keep your head above water.

Some medical insurance plans partially or wholly subsidize gym memberships. It's worth looking into options with your physician.

For me, I don't have the same motivation to work as hard when I'm working solo vs attending a group workout class. CrossFit, F45, Orangetheory, any other workout bootcamp—I've done them all and I push myself harder there than when I'm working with the same equipment on my own. And yes it is considerably more expensive, but if there's an area to splurge on, maybe it's your health
