MONDAY - APRIL 27, 2020 - POWER 90 Master Series - Sculpt Circuit 5-6
I had been able to find the move list online, but still wasn't sure what to expect because I couldn't find any YouTube videos of this routine. I wasn't sure if I wanted to add the four pull-up moves I'd added into Sculpt 3-4. When I got up in the morning I did the four pull-up moves around my shower. I got ore reps than usual in, and I felt pretty good about it. However, when I got to work I started eating some donut holes someone had brought in. I had only a bowl of soup for lunch. I was a bit hungry when I got home and ate more junk. I was feeling really sluggish, so I took a small nap which made things worse. I really didn't want to do the workout. Once I got into it, it didn't get much better. I want to say it wasn't as hard as Sculpt 3-4 because there weren't too many moves that required heavy weight. The weighted back moves were all some version of Lawnmowers, but they were done in a way I didn't want to use the 45's I used on 3-4. I thought I'd hurt myself, so I scaled back to 35's and some at 25's. On a lot of the other moves I used less weight than I should have, partly because I wasn't sure what o use, and partly because I didn't really care. Near the end I was taking all kinds of breaks because I was mentally tired. Next time I'll know what to expect and can plan better. The Master Series has more workout than just Sculpt and Sweat, so 'll only be doing this one one time per week, as opposed to the three times a week with Sculpt's 1-2 and 3-4.

TUESDAY - APRIL 28, 2020 - POWER 90 Master Series - Sweat Cardio 5-6
I've done most of this in the One On One Series in the Super Cardio workout. In that one he says it is Cardio 5-6 with a few twists. Seven of the nine moves are the same as Super Cardio. Ironically the two moves I hate the most in Super Cardio are missing from this version. Also, some of the same moves here are toned down a bit. There is a long warm-up and stretch here along with another long eight minute cool down which I thought might be excessive when I saw the time. There is no Ab Ripper at the end of this workout, so I was considering doing Ab Ripper 200 from memory during those eight minutes, but thought there might be ab work on some of the other workouts, so I stuck with the stretch and actually enjoyed it. The cardio portion of the workout was not intense, and was a big step down from Wear Cardio 3-4. Also, Tony was getting to the point of being annoying, which I never found to be the case in any of his other workout series. I'd also sensed that yesterday, but thought it was because I wasn't in a great mood. We'll see what happen the rest of the week. As with Sculpt 5-6, this one is only done once a week. While I appreciate a less aggressive workout once in a while, this one was almost too easy.

WEDNESDAY - APRIL 29, 2020 - POWER 90 Master Series - UML
Upper, Middle, Lower. I think I counted six rounds. Nothing extremely hard, but I could have gone lower on most of the push-ups. Today is Day 45. I'm halfway through the round. For the most part I'm enjoying it because the workouts are new to me. I'd also have to say they're a bit effective also. I can feel it it my biceps, quads, and especially in my back muscles.
Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 253; Avg Heart Rate: 105.
THURSDAY - APRIL 30, 2020 - POWER 90 Master Series - Cardio Intervals
I've done Interval X from P90X+ many many time, so I was thinking I knew what to expect, and I was right. There were less moves here and they were a bit less intense here than Interval X, but I still struggled a bit. A lot of it was from apathy. I just haven't been in the mood this week. Some of it was because it was the first time I'd done this workout, so I pace myself probably more than I should, and some of it was because my legs are just stiff and sore from the last few weeks. On top of that, my ankles really have no bounce left in them. Even Jumping Jacks are tough for me now. I don't know if that will pass. I hope so. I wasn't feeling too good about my effort in the first round, so I tried forcing myself to push harder in the second round. I did what I could. One other thing to mention about Maser Series. Tony doesn't seem as motivating and there's a weird vibe on the set. It almost seems too quiet. You can hear people's feet hitting the floor with a thud sometimes. Maybe it's just me.
Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 390; Avg Heart Rate: 108.
FRIDAY - MAY 1, 2020 - POWER 90 Master Series - Plyo Legs
I've done the One On One version a number of times and it's a beast. This was is a bit toned down, but it's still tough. I was feeling pretty good when I got home, so I got right into it. I pretty much kept up with the cast, but I wasn't always going as deep as they were, Still not too much spring in my ankles. Without a doubt, this was my best effort this week.

SATURDAY - MAY 2, 2020 - POWER 90 Master Series - Core Cardio
I was looking at some reviews of this workout on Amazon yesterday and one said there was too much time in between moves and Tony was sillier than usual, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. Turns out Tony was the same he was in the other Master Series videos, a bit sillier than on his other programs, but not unbearable. As for the pace of the workout, I thought it was fine. There was some explaining of the moves, but nothing out of the ordinary. The workout is four moves, then repeat those four moves, It alternates between a mat (core) move and a standing cardio move. There are three sets, but for some reason the repeat on the first set is cut out. For some reason, I was thinking there were four sets and I really wan't liking a lot of the moves in the second set, so I was kind of cursing things. Once the third set ended and he started the cool down I felt much better, There were a lot of moves I didn't like such as the push up moves, the lunge and reach move and a couple others. I will say, however, that I do feel it a bit in my abs afterwards. In the future I think I'm actually going to repeat the first set even though they don't in the video. I might actually end up liking this one.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I've been in a bit of a depressed mood this week. Part of it is the Corona Virus situation, part of it is other things. The workouts weren't really motivating me this week. A lot of the workouts were filled with moves I didn't like. I'm still eating like crap.

MONDAY - APRIL 20, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
I went of of sequence again, getting the tougher ones out of the way first. Weird thing is that I include pull-ups in those tougher ones, and I can get more in with less rest in between them. I think I did more reps on one of the weighted back moves.

WEDNESDAY - APRIL 22. 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
Before the workout I was thinking about how I was going to get through it again. The thought crossed my mind that I was doing the workouts just to do them, and not concentrating on why I was doing them. By the time I got around to doing it, the thought had escaped me, but it's still a good question. I got through everything OK, but it's still tough.

FRIDAY - APRIL 24, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
Last time doing this one until Week 13. I did things out of sequence again. The time was real time, starting when I did the first move, and ending it when I finished the last. No warm up or cool down included. No real increase in weights or reps, as I'm always thinking if I do so, I'll suffer with decreased reps later on. As it was, the pull-ups suffered.

SATURDAY - APRIL 25, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sweat Cardio 3-4 + Ab Ripper 200

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I'm getting the workouts done, but as I mentioned on Wednesday, I'm not concentrating of the right reason. The Sculpt exercises are killing me for some reason. I'm getting depressed during the days I know I have to come home and do them. I can feel their effectiveness because I'm sore all over, but I'm not doing this to make myself depressed. That's a bit counter productive.

WEEK OF 04/13/2020 - POWER 90 - ROUND 1 - WEEK 5
MONDAY - APRIL 13, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
As I did with last Friday, I did Biceps, Shoulders, Back, and Pull-ups before I even started the video. Wanting to know how long it would take me to do the workout in real time, I started my timer when I did the first move (I didn't do a warm up). I did the remaining moves while the video was running, and stopped tmy timer when I finished the last move. It took me 44 minutes to complete everything. They go much faster on the video, completing the actual workout, without warm-up and cool down in about 33 minutes. As I said before, I can't keep up with that pace. I'm not even sure they did.

Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 380; Avg Heart Rate: 109.
WEDNESDAY - APRIL 15, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
I got home and took a good 20 minute nap. I then tried to talk to myself about the workout. As with many times in the past I wondered how I was going to get through it. Should I use lighter weights? Should I use bands? Should I get all the tough moves done ahead of time like I did the last few times? I ended up deciding to do the workout as it was laid out and take breaks when I needed them. I did do a few things out of sequence, but for the most part I stayed with them and took six or seven 30 second to 1 minute breaks. It worked out well. The pull-ups were OK, except foe one set when I only got three in. I was just spent at that time. On some moves I did less than last time because I didn't have as much time between moves. I think I did a few more reps than last time on at least one move, Heavy Pants. I do need to look at increasing my weights in a few places. I just don't know where, because this thing wears you out in a hurry. If you do this workout right, it's no joke, even though it's supposedly a starter program. I've added sets of pull-ups to the routine because there aren't any pull-ups in the workout, and I've also added weights to the lunges and squats, so I am increasing the intensity right there. The nice thing is that I can feel it in my legs. My quads are certainly feeling more muscular.

I wasn't looking forward to it, but I just did it. It went pretty good. I only did a few moves out of sequence, The bicep moves I did early and I did the pull-up moves where the bicep moves would have bee, I really struggled with the pull-ups. At that point of the circuit my arms are toast, and it's only two moves after the heavy weighted back moves. I originally inserted the pull-up moves at the end of each circuit, after the leg moves, so I might just leave them there. Today I used a running timer. When I paused the workout I left my heart monitor running. The workout is usually 38 minutes. I did it in 41, so I only had three minutes of pause time, which I think is pretty good, considering what I'm doing.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
It's Jekyll and Hyde with the workouts. I'm dreading Sculpt and really liking Sweat. Sculpt is just beating the hell out of me. I'm sore all over. I'm also not happy about the eating, but my mind is elsewhere. I've broken a few teeth lately, so I don't feel like eating all the time, so I just grab something simple, and it's usually not good.

WEEK OF 04/06/2020 - POWER 90 - ROUND 1 - WEEK 4
MONDAY - APRIL 6, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
This was basically Sculpt Circuit 1-2 with a fourth circuit added, but not the same body parts as the other circuits. This added in some forearm and wrist movements and calf raises, max push-ups and max squats. As I'd done with the other circuits I added in a pull-up move. These extra moves seemed a bit easier than those of the other circuits. I did have some unexpected problems with the calf raises. I was having problems lifting from my toes. Other than that, the big difference between 1-2 and 3-4 was he added several reps to the lunges. I didn't do most of those reps because I didn't know they were there, and was on to my pull-ups once I'd reached the rep count from Sculpt 1-2. I did everything in order but took a ton of "pauses"because of the speed they were going at, and I needed a breather.
Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 372; Avg Heart Rate: 122.
TUESDAY - APRIL 7, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sweat Cardio 3-4 + Ab Ripper 200
Same moves as Sweat 1-2 but they were moving a bit faster and did three cycles per set as opposed to two in most cases. I liked it. The workout was a few minutes longer, but it seemed to go quicker. I'll admit I liked that Lisa was back. She's become my favorite and was really intensifying the punches at the end. Ab Ripper was also the same moves as before but we went to 20 reps per move as opposed to 10. I've done a lot of ab routines, but this might be my favorite. Simple moves, and 20 reps seemed about right. I was really feeling them and arching my back a bit to stretch the abs after almost each move. They were burning that bad.
Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 430; Avg Heart Rate: 118.
WEDNESDAY - APRIL 8, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
Once again, I got a lot of the moves, including all three bicep moves, out of the way during the warm up. I find this helps me pace things a bit better during the rest of the workout. I haven't been increasing the weight on any of the moves because I'm usually fried by the end of the workout anyways. I did 50 max push-ups near the end.

THURSDAY - APRIL 9, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sweat Cardio 3-4 + Ab Ripper 200

Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 369; Avg Heart Rate: 108.
FRIDAY - APRIL 10, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
As I've mentioned several times before, it's tough foe me to keep with the pace on this one without hitting the pause button a ton of times. Lately I've been doing some of the moves during the warm-up so I'll have time to take a breath later. Today I took it a step further. I did a bunch of the moves before I even hit the button to start the workout. I did all the bicep, pull-up, and shoulder moves ahead of time, then did all three weighted back moves during the warm-up. Needless to say I was really able to pace myself after that. I increased my weights to 35's on the standard bicep curls without much struggle, but it was also the first move I did, so I wasn't really tired.. The pull-ups were OK, but not great There are way too many lunges here. I'm holding 25 lb dumb bells when doing them, and they were starting to slip out of my hand on the second set. At one point I had to put them down for a few seconds, then start up again. Overall, this is a good workout. I'm just trying to find a way to pace it better. Maybe staying in sequence and hitting pause a lot isn't such a bad idea. I'm thinking I'll go by feel each time I do it.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The workouts were a bit harder, but not that much. The Sculpt ones are really wearing on me. I'm sore and stiff most of the time and it's making me a bit irritable. The Sweat ones are fun. I need to take the nutrition more seriously, but my mind is not there. I really need to cut down on sugar which I think might really be affecting mt mental clarity.

I did everything in order but took a ton of "pauses"because of the speed they were going at, and I needed a breather.

TUESDAY - APRIL 7, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sweat Cardio 3-4 + Ab Ripper 200
Same moves as Sweat 1-2 but they were moving a bit faster and did three cycles per set as opposed to two in most cases. I liked it. The workout was a few minutes longer, but it seemed to go quicker. I'll admit I liked that Lisa was back. She's become my favorite and was really intensifying the punches at the end. Ab Ripper was also the same moves as before but we went to 20 reps per move as opposed to 10. I've done a lot of ab routines, but this might be my favorite. Simple moves, and 20 reps seemed about right. I was really feeling them and arching my back a bit to stretch the abs after almost each move. They were burning that bad.

WEDNESDAY - APRIL 8, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
Once again, I got a lot of the moves, including all three bicep moves, out of the way during the warm up. I find this helps me pace things a bit better during the rest of the workout. I haven't been increasing the weight on any of the moves because I'm usually fried by the end of the workout anyways. I did 50 max push-ups near the end.

THURSDAY - APRIL 9, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sweat Cardio 3-4 + Ab Ripper 200
I was actually looking forward to this one today. My mind was wandering a bit, but I think I did OK. My heart rate and burned calories were certainly down from Tuesday. Don't know why.

FRIDAY - APRIL 10, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sculpt Circuit 3-4
As I've mentioned several times before, it's tough foe me to keep with the pace on this one without hitting the pause button a ton of times. Lately I've been doing some of the moves during the warm-up so I'll have time to take a breath later. Today I took it a step further. I did a bunch of the moves before I even hit the button to start the workout. I did all the bicep, pull-up, and shoulder moves ahead of time, then did all three weighted back moves during the warm-up. Needless to say I was really able to pace myself after that. I increased my weights to 35's on the standard bicep curls without much struggle, but it was also the first move I did, so I wasn't really tired.. The pull-ups were OK, but not great There are way too many lunges here. I'm holding 25 lb dumb bells when doing them, and they were starting to slip out of my hand on the second set. At one point I had to put them down for a few seconds, then start up again. Overall, this is a good workout. I'm just trying to find a way to pace it better. Maybe staying in sequence and hitting pause a lot isn't such a bad idea. I'm thinking I'll go by feel each time I do it.

SATURDAY - APRIL 11, 2020 - POWER 90 - Sweat Cardio 3-4 + Ab Ripper 200
Went OK. Instead of the Run Lunges I'm substituting the fake Jump Ropes from P90X. Otherwise, everything else went well.

Ate a lot of cookies yesterday. Need to take this more seriously.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The workouts were a bit harder, but not that much. The Sculpt ones are really wearing on me. I'm sore and stiff most of the time and it's making me a bit irritable. The Sweat ones are fun. I need to take the nutrition more seriously, but my mind is not there. I really need to cut down on sugar which I think might really be affecting mt mental clarity.
