If you’re looking to add some intensity to your daily workouts, a weighted vest is an easy and convenient way to do it. These vests fit right over your shoulders and fasten around your midsection, allowing you to incorporate extra resistance into your walks, runs or strength training sessions without having to hold anything in your hands. Weighted vests are said to increase your overall calorie burn during workouts, and they may even help boost your stamina, build muscle and improve your bone density.

But you don’t have to spend a fortune on a quality weighted vest. In fact, we scoured the daily deals section of Amazon and found 11 highly rated options that are currently on sale for up to 50% off. Each one boasts a shopper rating of at least 4.3 out of 5 stars, with some nearly reaching the perfect 5. Some even include removable weights that you can adjust to your preferred resistance level.
