I hear ya- when I really don't want to go to the gym (or am super angry or down) is usually the BEST time to force myself into the weight room. Hammering out a really tough workout always gets those feel good endorphins going, and gives a sense of accomplishment. -BEE www.BEELifestyle.com Brutal workout!

Lol - It's just a backpack, not a weighted vest. It's more specific to what I'm training for (mountaineering) and doesn't require and special gear. You could throw on together, just wrap a few weight plates in some old towels to pad them and stuff them into a pack. Make sure you cinch it down tightly though. Rayna did the same workout with a lose pack, and has some nasty chaffing and bruising on her lower back. Dave –

We do them with dumbbells which kinda limits you to what you can carry. If only our gym had a vest! Step ups with a weighted vest sounds great!

When I'm not feeling so good, I always try and exercise anyway. Usually, I feel better. If I don't, I just cut back on whatever I'm doing. I like the alligator pushups as well. Good Stuff. - Dave Looks like you had a great workout anyway. When I’m not feeling so good, I always try and exercise anyway. Usually, I feel better.
