I've been a walker for years. Walking had helped me to stay fit and in control of maintaining my weight and size. However, for the last year I started gaining weight so I increased my walking time but I still couldn't drop those extra pounds. I had almost given up and accepted those extra pounds. But I heard about Debbie Rocker walkvest and decided to give it a try. Though I've only had my walkvest for several weeks I've already seen a MAJOR change! I've only lost one pound but my clothes are fitting more loose. I'm really excited and more motivated to walk since I''m actually seeing a change. I highly recommend Debbie Rocker's Walkvest to anyone who wants to get rid of those extra pounds and inches. In fact, I'm ready to buy more weights. I may actually get back into a size six! 5 stars

I like the concept and the vest if comfortable. I only warn people about using too much weight at first. Remember to start off slowly with the weights. 4 stars

This product is very good for anyone wanting to take their walking routine up a notch. I didn't think an extra 4 - 8 lbs would be that heavy! Just one word on the fit of the product. I didn't know until I received the vest that it should fit snugly. I ordered a size that was too big so I will have to alter the size somehow to make it smaller. Other than that the vest is very well made and the dvd was good too. I haven't had the chance to use the cd yet. 5 stars

Gaiam Walkvest Kit by Debbie Rocker (Previous Design)

makes workouts more challenging - amazing how just 4 additional pounds can affect one's workout! You can add up to 16 pounds (I ordered the extra weights from the walkvest website - Amazon had a better price for the vest but did/does not offer the extra weights). The vest has been borrowed by several friends who like the additional challenge it provides while doing their cardio at the gym. 5 stars

Walkvest is a great addition to my every day workout. Haven't had it long enough to know if it makes a difference or not, but I'm looking forward to good results! 5 stars
