MONDAY - NOVEMBER 26, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth
This is the last week of the round, and it's all all yoga week. I wasn't perfect today, but I did notice I was a lot stronger on a lot of the moves. These moves were back to the basics. I really liked the stretching at the end.

TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 27, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird
This might be turning into my favorite yoga routine. Simple moves, held longer than usual, but there aren't a lot of them. It's a short workout, but maybe the most relaxing of them all.

One of my favorite clients, Jodi, stopped into the office today, one that I've become friends with because she always has a smile on her face and a calm demeanor despite what life seems to have thrown at her. This workout is not one of my favorites, but I was thinking of Jodi throughout most of it. It put me in a good mood and the workout seemed to flow a lot easier. Thank you, Jodi.

THURSDAY - NOVEMBER 29, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
I'm following my lead from the first round I did, in that I went back to back on this routine. The reason I did it last time was because I hated the routine and wanted to get it out of the way. I also wanted to see if I'd learned anything and improved over the previous day/ Now I don't hate this one as much, but I still wanted to get it done early. Today I wasn't as relaxed as yesterday (no Jodi), but I did OK. There are still moves I don't even try, moves that are ugly, and moves I can't hold for a long period of time, but those are the ones I might surprise myself and actually do in the future. I'd say it was a good, but not great workout.

FRIDAY - NOVEMBER 30, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird
I was looking forward to this one a bit today because it was the second last workout of the round and because it's short and to the point. I was a bit rigid throughout, almost trying to make things too perfect. I stumbled a number of time, most notably during both Half Moons, where I was trying to concentrate on my feet and general alignment instead of just doing it and letting it come naturally. However, when done, I felt fairly good, and I think this may have become my favorite yoga routine.

SATURDAY - DECEMBER 1, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth
Last workout of the round. For some reason I kept putting it off most of the day, almost because I didn't want the round to end. I finally got to it in the late afternoon, but it didn't go as well as I'd wanted. I wasn't as flexible as I thought I should I have been, especially since I've been doing Yoga all week, and I was just "off" all the way around. By the time I got to the Half Moon section I was at the point where my body couldn't hold them. Maybe my yoga muscles are just tired. I finished up OK with the floor moves.

SUNDAY - DECEMBER 2, 2018 - Rest
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 179.0 (+1.0 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.9% (+0.3%)
Not expected, especially on the body fat. That's a big increase.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
All yoga. It went OK, but I think my body kind of petered out the last few days. I'm not sure if it was because of all the yoga or the 90 days without a rest. I'm disappointed in the weight and body fat gain.
THOUGHTS FOR THE ROUND
I loved it, just as I did the first time I did it earlier this year. Most of the workouts are fun and with 36 different workouts as opposed to 12 for a regular program, there is real "Muscle Confusion". I've gotten better results with this program than doing any other. Despite the backslide of the last week, overall I lost 4.4 lbs and 0.9% body fat. Those don't look like real exciting numbers, but I think I look better, and I know I feel better. I also know I could have eaten better. Overall, it was a great 90 days.
WHAT NEXT?
I'm going to take a few weeks off from starting another official program, maybe until the 1st. I'm trying to decide between doing P90X2 or maybe the original P90X again, then doing the One On One's again. For now, I'm tinkering with a routine where I can lift some heavier weight a few times a week, covering all body parts. We'll see what happens.

WEEK OF 11/19/18 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 2 - WEEK 12
MONDAY - NOVEMBER 19, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - UBX
Tiring. My arms are wobbly as I'm typing this, about 10 minutes after I finished it. Except for a few pushup moves on medicine balls, the rest of the moves aren't really hard when taken by themselves. However, they're tiring, and there aren't any easy ones to give you a break, So, cumulatively, it's exhausting. I did get through it Ok, though, and I even increased my numbers on a few of them. A good workout for me.

TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 20, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Synergistics: MC2
As I've posted before, I'm not a fan of this one. The warmup is a P90X2 warmup, which is way too long. During the actual workout, I probably did better than I thought I was doing. There are a lot of balance moves I can't do properly, but I tried, even though I was frustrated while doing so. The moves I could do were OK, even though I didn't like doing them. Then I half-assed the cool down, which was also ridiculously long. However, when all is said and done, I got through it, and probably got some benefit out of it. I guess my challenge with this one in the future is not so much improving the moves, but improving my attitude as I do it.
Time: 67 minutes; Cakories Burned: 207; Avg Heart Rate: 107; Max Heart Rate: 133.
WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 21, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - V-Sculpt
I did pretty good. I raised my rep count on a lot of the moves, but didn't increase my weights. Next time, I'll look at increasing the weight. I used 25's again on most of the bicep moves. Probably can do 30's on them. On the last Down The Rack I started with 40's again. I tried 40's on the first round, but couldn't handle them. Don't know why I was stronger at the end, but I was. The pullups were encouraging too.

THURSDAY - NOVEMBER 22, 2018 - TON HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
Today is Thanksgiving. My initial plan was to do this workout later in the day. However, I had about an hour and a half in the late morning before I had to get ready for dinner, so I decided to to the workout then. In the back of my mind I knew I wasn't really mentally prepared for it, but I did it anyways. Once into it I felt rushed. Then that went away. Then my body started shaking a bit, I think from yesterday's workout, so I started losing my poses. By the end I couldn't even align myself and went to Child Pose a few times. However, I finished it up. Not my best yoga workout, but I did what I could.
Time: 66 minutes: Calories Burned: 141; Avg Heart Rate: 108: Max Heart Rate: 130.
FRIDAY - NOVEMBER 23, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - P.A.P.
This is my last true resistance workout of the round, so I wanted to make it good. The last few times I did this one I sort of took it easy during the long warmup. Today I did all the exercises. I actually think it helped me with the main part of the routine. I used 25's on both weighted moves, the lunges and the renegade rows. I tried my best on the Starfish side planks. I think I got to 30 seconds once and around 15 to 20 seconds the rest of the time. I still struggle with the Plyo Pushups though. I got 6 reps in each time, but they were ugly. Overall, however, it was a good effort on my part.
Time: 69 minutes: Calories Burned: 369: Avg Heart Rate: 122; Max Heart Rate: 146.
SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 24, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Stretch and Recovery
A good stretch. I want to say I've done better on this in the past, but maybe not. I'm setting the bar a little higher with a lot of these routines, so where I think I might have done great in the past, I might be doing better now, but just not noticing it. I came out of a few moves early, but not too many.
Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 160; Avg Heart Rate: 104; Max Heart Rate: 142.
SUNDAY - NOVEMBER 25, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ARX2
I did 20 reps on all the moves, except the weird ball one near the end, which Tony even gives up on. I got a little ahead of him and finished a few moves before he did. I even did 125 bicycles on the last move.
Time: 45 minutes; Calories Burned: 126; Avg Heart Rate: 105; Max Heart Rate: 128.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 178.0 lbs (- 1.0 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.6% (- 0.2%)
Nice!
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
This was the last week of the resistance workouts. I'm feeling really good. Most days I'm a bit sore, but that's good too, I'm a bit bummed that this round is almost over, as I really like the variety of the workouts.

WEEK OF 11/12/18 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 2 - WEEK 11
MONDAY - NOVEMBER 12, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Chest, Back, and Balls
Things went pretty well. I went a bit quicker than he did, and finished about four moves before he did. I let myself rest a bit, then followed him in the cool down. My arms feel like jello afterwards. I filmed myself doing the Four Ball Pushups again, hoping to keep my butt down a bit. There was a slight improvement, but not much. I'm wondering how flat I can get and still balance on the back balls. Pullups went OK.

TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 13, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyocide

WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 14, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Shoulders and Arms: MC2
Pretty close to the numbers I did last time. I know I did one less Bicep Curl than I did last time. I used 40's on those and only got in 7 reps the first time, then did eight, then eight. I might have bumped up the weight or did a few more reps elsewhere.
Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 278; Avg Heart Rate: 118; Max Heart Rate: 155.
THURSDAY - NOVEMBER 15, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
This still isn't my favorite yoga routine, but I'm starting to appreciate it more and more as I get used to it. There were a few stumbles here and there, and a few things I still can't do, but overall it went OK.

FRIDAY - NOVEMBER 16, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Base and Back
Near the end Tony says something to the effect of when you are done with this one you know you've been through a workout. Spot on. I went a bit faster than he did and finished about five moves before he did. I was moving on to the next move as soon as I caught my breath. I did 20 reps on each of the plyo moves and the pullups were about as good as I've ever done. I did 10 standard pullups on the first move and can't remember the last time I did that. It wasn't so long ago that I was struggling to get three in.

I'm not concerned. I think I ate pretty close to how I have been lately. Not great, but not too bad either.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I'm sore everyday, but otherwise I feel pretty good and I'm really feeling toned. I can eat much better.

WEEK OF 11/05/18 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 2 - WEEK 10
MONDAY - NOVEMBER 5, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - UBX
I can't believe I'm in Week 10 already. I really like these workouts. Most of them are fun. Tough, but fun. Today was no exception. This is one of the tougher workouts in the entire One On One series. 12 exercises done twice each, and almost all of them are killers. It wasn't until he got to the last two moves that you got a bit of a break. As I'm going through this thing I'm thinking I could have done more reps on that move, or I could have used more weight on that move, but then realized if I had, I might not have been able to finish other moves properly. I was pretty much done at the end.

TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 6, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Synergistics: MC2
I just don't like this one. I physically can't do a lot of the one-legged balance moves. I have to do them gingerly and can't go all out on them, so it frustrates me. I feel like I'm doing the workout at about 30% effort, and am getting nothing out of it. The warm up was basically the warm up for almost all of the P90X2 workouts, and I never liked that warm up. When I was done I didn't even feel like I needed to cool down, so I fed the cats. Not my shining moment. All I can say is that I showed up and did all the moves. I could have skipped the workout (which I don't do), quit during the workout (which I don't do), or done an easier workout (which I don't do). It got the best of me today, but there are always things I think I can't possibly do that I end up doing years later, so that's why I keep at it.

WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 7, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - V-Sculpt
A good little workout that I really like because of the variety. Six Back and Six Bicep moves alternately picked out of a hat, then re-picked for a second round. Many of the moves are done with bands, which is out of the norm, but keeps it fresh. I used the Green Bands on all those moves. I'm limited as to where I can wrap them in my house. The door wasn't working, so I used a piano leg. It was a bit low, bit worked fine. The pullups went good, except for the 21's. I used 25's on most of the weighted bicep moves. On the first round of the Down The Rack strip sets I started with 30's. On the second round I started with 40's, then went to 30's, and 20's.

FRIDAY - NOVEMBER 9, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - P.A.P.
A bit of a strange workout, as this was the introduction of the Post Activation Potentiation workouts that came out in P90X2 and P90X3. The complexes were in this workout, but they were buried in a 20 minute active warm up and a long stretch / cool down. I half-assed the warm up. I was OK on the complexes, but not great.I can't go too low on the lunges, and am also not too good on the plyo pushups. Room for improvement here.

Once again, the first two moves really burn your abs. In fact Tony has to break for a few seconds midway through the second move. After that it went OK.

WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 7, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - V-Sculpt
A good little workout that I really like because of the variety. Six Back and Six Bicep moves alternately picked out of a hat, then re-picked for a second round. Many of the moves are done with bands, which is out of the norm, but keeps it fresh. I used the Green Bands on all those moves. I'm limited as to where I can wrap them in my house. The door wasn't working, so I used a piano leg. It was a bit low, bit worked fine. The pullups went good, except for the 21's. I used 25's on most of the weighted bicep moves. On the first round of the Down The Rack strip sets I started with 30's. On the second round I started with 40's, then went to 30's, and 20's.

THURSDAY - NOVEMBER 8, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
Still not my favorite yoga routine, but I don't hate it as much as I used to. I came out of a few of the moves early, but other than that it went OK.

FRIDAY - NOVEMBER 9, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - P.A.P.
A bit of a strange workout, as this was the introduction of the Post Activation Potentiation workouts that came out in P90X2 and P90X3. The complexes were in this workout, but they were buried in a 20 minute active warm up and a long stretch / cool down. I half-assed the warm up. I was OK on the complexes, but not great.I can't go too low on the lunges, and am also not too good on the plyo pushups. Room for improvement here.

SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 10, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Stretch and Recovery
This went well. Even though it was a long workout, the time went by quickly. It seemed like I was as flexible as I've been in a long time. I surprised myself a bit.

SUNDAY - NOVEMBER 11, 2018 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ARX2
Once again, the first two moves really burn your abs. In fact Tony has to break for a few seconds midway through the second move. After that it went OK.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I thought this week might have been a bit easier than last week, but I still had to work. Feeling good. People are still noticing.
