Abstract
The author has been an avid walker for many years, taking at least 10,000 steps daily as part of a healthy lifestyle. They have experienced numerous science-backed benefits from this practice, such as increased metabolism, improved cardiovascular fitness, reduced leg and foot heaviness, enhanced creativity, improved mood, and better sleep.
To further explore the potential advantages of walking, the author decided to conduct a 28-day experiment by wearing a weighted vest during their daily walks. The goal was to investigate how the added resistance would impact their overall health and fitness.
The author highlights that walking is a "superpower" and a key ingredient in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. By incorporating the weighted vest, they aimed to amplify the benefits of their regular walking routine.
