Weighted Vest - Please Help Meee

[Grace6821]

I have a weighted vest (20lbs) which i wear during exercise. My quesiton is if i were to be crazy and wear it in bed, would i burn more calories because im heavier, or less because i wouldnt toss and turn as much.

Thank you guys !!

I would suspect that would put a lot of pressure on your chest, and would not be advisable.

Sounds like a really bad idea to me, you would not be lying correctly. The weight is intended to be around your torso when you are upright, thus making your body work harder.

Your mattress would wear out quicker.

I would think you would toss and turn more, but as you state (and previous answers concur) it's a crazy idea :)


Intriguing hypothetical question however.
