My Workout for Thursday November 3

I did ten rounds wearing a backpack with two 25# plates (50# total weight) in it:

2 weighted pull-ups

10 lunges

Very basic.  I didn’t do it for time, and it wasn’t exhausting, but today I’m sore in the glutes and the quads, with a bit of soreness in my triceps and shoulders of all places.  It’s worth a shot!  Next time, I’ll probably do the same number of reps on the pull-ups, but will convert the second rep to some negatives (that is, going down super slowly) on about the last four rounds.  I’ll probably do 12-15 reps on the lunges, too.  When I took the backpack off, I hopped up and ripped off a few pull-ups unweighted. I felt light as a feather!  Good strength workout, and easy to modify.  Use no weight if you have to, rest as needed, but I’d recommend no more than a minute between rounds.
