Anyone use something like this with a medium intensity workout? Pushups, sit ups, butt kicks, etc? Or is this really targeted toward hiking/walking?

Thanks
I use it for all of them, but mainly pullups at 50 a day.

Quote from BruceInCola :
If possible, cut out all sugar for a week or two (or if too difficult, at least go for cutting out anything with ADDED sugars - harder than it sounds).
That's a bit excessive and not exactly something I'd start people out with, as it's very difficult to adhere for someone starting out. You want to find something people can stick with, and actually like. It's all about Cals in vs Out. If cutting out some sugars/carbs helps for adherence, then go for it, but it's not necessary to cut out any one particular thing. Sugar in and of itself is not bad. It's just that foods with a high concentration of Sugar + Fats + Salt is very palletable, usually dense in calories, and easy to over consume.

Quote from BruceInCola :
Eat less. Eat ONLY when actually hungry.
Eating less is not very useful without understanding the details; Which is, you need to eat less calories than you burn. If someone needs 2000cals to maintain, but usually eats 3000 cals a day, they could eat 2500 cals and will technically be eating "less", but will still gain weight. Basically, people should try to understand their caloric maintenance to get a better idea of how to plan for weight loss.

But don't eat drastically less to the point where you're constantly starving. Those types of diets will usually fail.

Quote from BruceInCola :
Exercise is of course important, for other reasons, but it's not the best option for shedding excess fat and losing weight to be more in range with where you should be.
I disagree. For the sake of weight loss, exercising will help burn those extra calories, alongside a better diet, and therefore contribute to weight loss goals. Burning an extra 200-500 cals a day from a workout, along with a caloric deficit, will yield very good results. Additionally, exercising will build more muscle, which increases the body's metabolism, and therefore burn more calories in the long run.

You got the basic message, but there's a lot of nuances that needs to be observed.

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.
As some have already mentioned, just exercise alone won't do much for you if you're not aware of how your diet has affected your weight gain to begin with. While I can't explain an entire plan for you here's some points to consider.

1) Research what your BMR is. It's understanding how many calories you need to maintain your weight. Here is a basic BMR Calculator.
https://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html

Once you have an understanding of that, the basic principle is to eat less calories than your maintenance needs, in order to see yourself losing weight. Don't ever listen to anyone who claims "Calories don't matter". I promise you they don't understand how the human body works.

2) Now that you have that basic understanding, try tracking your calories for a week, or two. Meaning, use a calorie tracking app and do your best to enter things you've eaten throughout the day/weeks. This exercise is to give you a glimpse of how many calories you may have been eating to understand how you gained your weight. And it will also give you better awareness of how many calories certain foods are. And be truthful. Do your best to add everything you put in your mouth. This is for your sake. If you lie, you're only lying to yourself.

3) Now that you have a better understanding of the fundamentals, now look into changing up the things you eat to start eating within a certain caloric goal to lose weight. Don't over do it at first. Let's say you start off with 2500 to maintain your weight. Try going down to 2200 to 2000 calories. And maybe you may not like tracking calories, but at least with the above exercise, you can take a glance at nutrition labels and give yourself an estimate.

The reason why I would suggest this first, rather than just people saying "Eat healthier", is because even healthy foods can be calorically dense. You'd be surprised how many calories are in Nuts, even when they're considered "Healthy". And I've had friends eat bags of nuts and not realizing they consumed like 2000 calories in just almonds. And Salads are healthy right? Sure, until you throw bacon bits, and tons of salad dressing on it, which would then defeat the purpose.

4) With new nutrition goals and a plan to be in a caloric deficit, now you can add your exercises and with more activity and decrease in calories, that's where you'll start to see big improvements over time. Don't rush it, and don't go on starvation diets. It will take time to see big changes.

Good luck.

At least this will be an exercise related article of clothing that will be hung up on my stationary bike instead of drying all of my other laundry.

What I liked about it was without changing my intensity, I was able to improve my cardio work out.

I started at 10lbs and then went to 15lbs.

I noticed my back was very sore (I think a lot of small muscles and bending are at play). I took a couple weeks off to let the soreness subside.

It's something I'll mix into my routine but probably won't wear year round.

great advice. except that folks like me cannot really walk anywhere due to north east freezing weather most of the year. summers are harsh as well. but I do run on treadmill and incorporate 4x strength training a week in home with dumbells and weights. diet is 80% weight loss..and I do Intermittent Fasting and eat extremely healthy food(with focus on protein and healthy fats). been doing this consistents for 2 years and I am down from 190 to 175lb, and got a well toned body.

I got mine last time when it was on sale. I like it. I wear it for work outs like push ups, squats (main reason I want one of this), sit ups etc...However I find out when jogging, wearing this rubs agains my lower rib part and causes pain the next day...I don't know if I put it on wrong or I should wear something different under 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.

20lbs isn't much. But the jolts weighted items give your joints as they bounce on them is. Don't mind me I used to own all the weigher gear in the 90s. It's the 2020s an ive needed a gym with heavy weights since. (an many weighted items I have "shot* the weights out them straight thru the seams after so many jumping jacks etc. Noobs just doing something an buying this will increase your fitness mindset/level. Real talk. The moment you decide to start something is when it happens. But do be mindful of how these are rarely secure an your joints take the impact as they sloush around when you get stronger
