MONDAY - AUGUST 18, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth
Last week of the round. All yoga. This might be my favorite of the three yoga routines. It has a bit of everything, but not too much. I stayed relaxed and took it one move at a time, and that worked well. Partially enjoyable.Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 180; Avg Heart Rate:93.

Much like yesterday. I was somewhat relaxed and took it one move at a time.

WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 20, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
Not as good as the last two days. I was off a bit, not as relaxed, and it was just a long workout, which didn't help.

THURSDAY - AUGUST 21, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
I like to do this one back to back during yoga week, so I can get it out of the way. Plus, I'd rather finish with Fountain of Youth, rather than dreading this one later in the week. Today was better than yesterday, but not as good as Monday or Tuesday's workouts. I did learn one thing, however. On the dreaded leaning over Shoulder Stretches, I found if I clasped my hands like he does, rather than not, I was able to bend over farther and keep my balance a bit better. At least that's what happened today.

FRIDAY - AUGUST 22, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird
Better. Much like Tuesday's workout. It helps that it's a shorter routine. My mind was in a better place than the last two days.

SATURDAY - AUGUST 23, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth
This was the last workout of the round. I like this routine because it covers a lot of things without being totally repetitive. I had bought this one as a standalone well before I bought the three volumes in their entirety, so it's like an old friend. For that reason, I like finishing the round with it. Sort of a respect thing, and I'm able to relax with it. However, today, I struggled a bit. I ate an extra huge salad before the workout and it was sitting in my stomach and slowing me down a bit. I labored through a lot of the workout and was constantly watching the clock to see how much time left. I did get through it though. Not a great finish to the round, but a respectful one, in that it wasn't easy.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I really like finishing the round this way, with all yoga. You'd think it might be overdoing it, but it just works so well.
THOUGHTS FOR THE ROUND
At the beginning I was thinking I hadn't given myself enough rest after finishing the previous round, but the more I got into it, the better it seemed to be. This One On One series just seems perfect to me, and is by far my favorite workout program. I feel a bit stronger and a bit thicker, especially in my shoulders and back. And I'm not even doing standard pullups. I'm doing Band Pulldowns instead. Once again, I'm very please with how it went. I did learn how to modify moves, and I was OK with it. I didn't feel like I was cheating because I physically can't do some of the moves. You do what you can. Overall, I dropped 4.8 lbs and 1.3% body fat, which are good numbers. Some of that is due to the fact I've been working from home and eating better, but it's still good. I'll take a few weeks off, and might look at doing one of Tony's new Power Nation programs when I get back at it.
