Weighted vest or rucksack

Adds load to walking, hiking and carries without needing a gym

Plates in a vest or a pack turn an ordinary walk into a loaded carry. It is the cheapest way to add progressive overload to something you already do daily, and it loads bone as well as muscle. Start light. Most people badly overestimate what an hour under 30 pounds feels like.
