WalkVest by Debbie Rocker

The WALKVEST by Debbie Rocker Includes: One WALKVEST Beginning WALKVEST workout on CD Eight 1/2 Lb Weights Informative Brochure The WALKVEST by Debbie Rocker turns walking, our bodies most natural exercise, into a highly effective, fat-burning, cardio-training and even fashion-forward workout. The brainchild of former professional athlete and fitness expert Debbie Rocker, the adjustable weight-loaded vest is the next generation of functional exercise apparel for fit savvy and health and weight-conscious people of all ages.  Athletes and fitness enthusiasts love WALKVEST, which has also won the support of the medical community, recently winning "Best New Product of the Year" at MedTrade 2003, the largest international tradeshow dedicated to home healthcare.
