What are weighted trunks?

A weighted trunk is like a backpack that helps you carry more stuff by being heavier when you need it most.

Imagine you're playing a game where you have to climb up a big hill, and your backpack feels lighter at the bottom but gets heavier as you go up, that's what a weighted trunk does! It’s like a special kind of backpack used in sports or training. When you start moving, it helps you get stronger by making your body work harder.

How Weighted Trunks Work

Think about wearing a backpack filled with books. If the books are heavy, your legs have to do more work to carry you up the hill. A weighted trunk is like that backpack, it has weights inside that can be adjusted so you can make your legs stronger little by little.

Sometimes, the weights move around as you walk or run, making it feel even trickier! It’s like having a backpack that changes weight depending on how fast you're moving. That helps train your body to get ready for running, jumping, and playing harder games.
