Why it is spreading

Turns a plain walk into 'training' with zero learning curve, and the adjustable plates give you a reason to buy the 20 lb version instead of the cheap fixed 10 lb one. It is the rare fitness product that films well in 15 seconds, on a woman walking a dog, in leggings, in a kitchen.

Who buys it

Women 25-45 chasing the 'hot girl walk' format; home-gym lifters adding resistance without a barbell.
