Matthew McConaughey: Fit Dad

New dad Matthew McConaughey's not letting late-night feedings disrupt his fitness regimen. Despite taking care of his model baby mama, Camila Alves, and newborn Levi, McConaughey's been spotted out and about in his fitness favorite – a weighted vest.

The skilled surfer keeps his chiseled body in rock solid form through frequent trips to the beach and jogs in L.A. As he runs, he wears a weighted vest, a longtime favorite of college, as well as professional, athletes. More recently, people who want to maximize their workouts, or walkers who crave a deeper calorie-burning payoff, have turned to vests such as the V-max, too.

Weighted vests offer a major challenge when doing resistance work such as squats, pull-ups, and lunges. It also provides an opportunity to burn more calories. And since the vest adds the weight to the torso, which can naturally support the extra burden, users are at less of a risk for injury. McConaughey is a fan of the 30-lb. V-max weight vest – and from the looks of things, it seems to be working for him!
