Is this practical for burpees or would it be too heavy and shift too much?

The vest can be fastened tight enough so it shouldn't shift very much. It should work fine.

It does not shift very much once it is on and cinched up. However, it is a bit bulky. I think it would be tough to bend enough in it.

I don't know what burpees is/are. If you will define/explain, I will try to answer.

Bobby, Most likely not practical for burpees. Its a pain to wear doing jumping jacks. You can make it fit snug around your abdomen but it does shift some doing any jumping up movement. Hope that helps.

Yes it is practical, the weights are removable so you can adjust to what is comfortable and it can be put on securely.

For me it is not so much the squat movement to pick up but the bending over to adjust the weights. Also the weight is too much for my lower back where I have an injury. So not bending over was extremely important to me. So for me it had value worth 125 bucks to you maybe not.

I would thinks so. It is pretty flexable when I was working at places that involved moving my shoulder in many directions.

Changing resistance is simple, just twist. The easy settings are very light. Post surgery I started out light but found I quickly went to medium to higher and if anything, there's not a really heavy setting. It's great for endurance and even speed but heaviest resistances may be a bit lighter than you might have hoped. You can work up a sweat but this won't replace weight machines to build muscle. This machine will build endurance and improve flexibility in the knees and hips if done properly.

It's a bit heavy and bulky for moving. Mine simply snapped in two when I leaned back on it so be careful of this one! And, no, it doesn't fold all that flat.

You can but for myself, I'd say no. I wouldn't use it to do those routines because it does restrict severe movement. There is flexibility in the belt but with severe movements you have greater awkward feeling of movement.

I use this to stretch (leg up, fold over, chest to thigh) and practice barre on. I don't have any issues with it. You can adjust the bottom part by moving it forward or backward depending on how you'll be using it and where your weight will be distributed, this can help if you feel it's unstable.

Yes, because certain moves need a lighter bell and other moves can be done with a heavier one (such as a squat). Plus these contour bells are much more comfortable to work with.

Only if you actually use it regularly. If you use it as a clothes hangar, stalk it, or use it as a statue it could possibly reduce your tone and fitness. It is an excellent fitness machine; the problem is it does nothing unless you actually use it appropriately. I've lost 20 pounds on mine, just 50 more to go.

If you are already carrying 240lb why add more weight? this is a great set of weights with lots of adjustments but as an exercise and martial arts professional I would advise against you using it (at this time). Maybe, once you are down to your preferred weight, you could add the vest to build some extra stamina and power. But, I would be concerned about the strain on your heart until your weight is down. I hope this helps. Derek

If your weight close or over 275 lb I think you should looking for other more expensive, heavyer products. I really don't know what will happen if the person who's weight reach or over that limit to use it.

As others have commented, the thickness with the weights is the one issue I think you'll run into. But it is a great vest that stays tight to the body and because its "short", it allows for a lot of movement and flexibility in workouts.

i go about 250-260 lbs and it seems to work fine. this should only be used if you need to sleep 2 people. there is a bar in the center that runs end to end, it keeps two people separate, from bunching together at the low point in the center. otherwise i would get the oversize single.

Out of curiosity I just tried to do a few "burpee pushup thingys" with these and it is definitely doable. Plenty stable enough. Wrist movement in the blocks is tight, but not terribly bad. The grip is a bit more uncomfortable in this position, probably want to wear gloves.

It might shift too much during yoga. Maybe for outdoor yoga? It's best for a pool/beach towel

It is sensitive and will change with small amounts of added weight like spoons and clothing. If you are packing for long movements and trying to stay light this with work well.

Ps. It is strong. I do upside down sit UPS. I need to wear sneakers when I hang , which adds to comfort. All in all a great purchase. Downsides... It is very heavy , and I need to open and close mine, due to vspace. Also it is not an immediate cure for my back. Bit the best choice
