Time: 30:14 with 20# vest. I'm going to make it my goal to do at least 1 workout a week in the vest. After my workout last week, I realized how much work I need running with weight on, and doing the bodyweight exercises will add strength. This wasn't quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. The pull-ups and push-ups were fairly easy, but I could definitely feel the added weight on the air squats. Running still needs work, I feel like I'm just plodding along

1. Assorted exercises for 30 minutes. Did sit-ups, GHD sit-ups, squats, lunges, pull-ups, chin-ups, dive bomber push-ups, back extensions, double unders, lateral jumps, etc.
2. ~38 minutes with 25# vest. This was my first workout in a vest and it was brutal. Running was difficult because the vest was shifting around. The first mile was around 8 minutes. First set of pushups was pretty quick, but I got crushed on the thrusters. With the tightness of the vest I felt like I was struggling to get full breaths. 2nd set of push-ups was pretty tough as well, because my shoulders were crushed. Last mile was REALLY slow.

This was a very humbling experience, but it showed me that I definitely need to supplement more of my workouts with added weight on bodyweight movements.
