WEEK OF 07/27/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 2

MONDAY - JULY 27, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Recovery 4 Results

I needed this today. I wasn't feeling too well and am not sure how I would have handles something more strenuous. I'm drinking too much pop again, and that's not helping.

Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 294; Avg Heart Rate: 109.


TUESDAY - JULY 28, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Bun Shaper

One of my favorites. I got all the reps in. My right knee has a small tweak in it, but I got through it OK.

Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 434; Avg Heart Rate: 116.

WEDNESDAY - JULY 29, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

I did Ok, but I really struggled with the Shoulder Presses and the Arnold Presses. I used to be able to use 40's on the Shoulder Presses. Today I was fighting 30's. On the Arnold Presses I'm usually Ok with 25's and 12 reps. Today I used the 25's, but barely got in 10 reps. I'm hoping it's just because I hadn't done these moves in a while, but I do remember the same situation when I did similar moves in Power 90.

THURSDAY - JULY 30, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth

My mind was elsewhere, so it wasn't the best yoga workuut, but it wasn't horrible, either. Fact: my balance is really bad because of my bad feet and ankles.I'll keep working at it and do the best I can.

Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 339; Avg Heart Rate: 105. 

FRIDAY - JULY 31, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

Nothing of too much note. I got through it. I did a few less reps than he did on a few of the moves, but for the most part I kept up.

Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 396; Avg Heart Rate: 105.

SATURDAY - AUGUST 1, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Med Ball Core Cardio

I was feeling pretty good going into it. I started out well, but for some reason my feet were sliding on the carpet and my body became uncoordinated with some of the moves, like the Press Jacks and Twister. That became a bit frustrating, but overall I did what I could and my attitude was good.

Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 326; Avg Heart Rate: 118.

SUNDAY - AUGUST 2, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

It went a bit better than last week. I still only got 40 Mason Twists in, with a small couple seconds break around the 30 mark. I'd like to get at least 50 in with no breaks.

Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 156; Avg Heart Rate: 102.

SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 162.0 (-2.0 lbs)

Body Fat: 13.7% (-0.6%)

Both are good drops.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I'm still drinking too much pop which is making me a bit hyper, but other than that I feel OK. I'm certainly feeling more toned. The workouts went fairly well.

WEEK OF 07/20/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 1

MONDAY - JULY 20, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30-15

I took five weeks off, which is two or three more than I wanted to, but I just wasn't ready. I'm comfortable with that decision. Sometimes you just have to listen to yourself.

Starting Weight: 163.4; Starting Body Fat: 14.3%.

Today's numbers were 30 push-ups and 6 pull-ups. I haven't done any serious numbers in either of those areas in months, so I was a bit concerned on how I'd hold up, especially on the pull-ups. I got in all the push-ups with relatively little problem, but I was tiring in the last third of the workout. I finished a bit before Tony did, so I did 60 bonus push-ups while he was finishing up. That totaled 420 push-ups, which is what I'd done the last two times I did this workout. I got in the six pull-ups on each set, but a lot of them were ugly, with a lot of kipping. I only came off the bar once though, near the end, as I was toast. Overall, it was a good workout, especially with the time off. I'm sure I'm going to feel it in a few days, but I also know I'll feel good after the workouts.

Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 508; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


TUESDAY - JULY 21, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs

This is a tough one, but I was semi looking forward to it because of the challenge and because I felt so good yesterday after getting back into things. It wasn't my best effort, but I didn't dog it. I just wasn't able to go too deep on a lot of the moves, especially near the end.

Time: 63 minutes; Calories Burned: 562; Avg Heart Rate: 117.


WEDNESDAY - JULY 22, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Just Arms

I started with 8 reps of 35's on the Seated Bicep Curls and I did OK. I did have a problem mid-way through the workout when I noticed I was really struggling with my left arm on the Tricep Kickbacks. I was using 25's, which are a bit heavy, but I've used them before. The real problem came on the 21's, where my left arm wasn't handling the upper 7's. I almost dropped the weights. On the second set of those I dropped down from 25's to 20's, and I seemed to be OK. So as not to cause an accident and play it safe, I only used 15's on the Crazy 8's instead of the usual 20's. Hopefully I'll be a bit stronger next time.

Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 412; Avg Heart Rate: 116.

THURSDAY - JULY 23, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth Yoga

I haven't done too much yoga in four or five months. I was looking forward to it because I was really sore and yoga usually helps that go away. I could barely bend over at the beginning, and by the end I was moving a lot better. My balance was bad, but I'm hoping that will get better.

Time:47 minutes; Calories Burned: 349; Avg Heart Rate: 107.


FRIDAY - JULY 24, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior

I had bought some expensive resistance bands several months ago with this workout in mind. I was a bit timid with the Beachbody bands because I've had them snap at the handles a few times. I was anxious to try out the new ones. The bands had a place where you could clip the handle on, so it didn't look like there was anyway it could snap there. I used what looked like a mid-range band to start out with, but there was barely any tension. At the beginning of the second set I switched to the toughest (black) band. It sucked too. Barely any tension or stretch. I'm very disappointed. The key to this workout is finding the right band and placing your feet on it in the right places. I've yet to do that on this workout. A I also forgot to do the bicycles at the end. I was putting things away while he was doing the cool down, so I missed it.

Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 363; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


SATURDAY - JULY 25, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE  Super Cardio

I didn't start this one until about 9:15 pm. I'd done some yard work earlier in the day that rally tired me out. I then took a nap that was longer than usual, and time got away from me. This isn't the toughest workout in the bunch, so I knew I'd get it done. My legs are still a bit sore. I didn't go real deep on the Twisty Lunge things because I hate them, but other than that, things went OK. Mid way through I got this weird feeling of pride that I'm doing all this. I feel good and people tell me I look good.

Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 352; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


SUNDAY - JULY 26, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

I was a bit rusty. I really struggled with the Oblique V-ups and the Mason Twists, where I stopped for a few seconds about four times.

Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 161; Avg Heart Rate: 104.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 164.0 (+0.6 lbs)
