Incline Walk/Jog & Bodyweight Legs

Today I walked & jogged for 20 minutes at a 15% incline. I burned (according to the treadmill) 304 calories and my maximum heart rate was 167.

After that I did some leg training Naked Warrior style. I alternated pistols and dragon walks for about 15 minutes. My leg training looked like this:

Bench Pistols - Bodyweight - 5 sets of 5 each leg - 25 reps each leg
Dragon Walks - Bodyweight - 5 sets of 15 steps each leg - 75 steps each leg

Believe it or not both of these exercises are very hard even with no added resistance. I am glad I started doing them and hope to be able to do a rock bottom pistol in the near future. The I plan on adding weight using kettlebells or the Xvest to increase the resistance.
