WEEK OF 8/31/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 7

MONDAY - AUGUST 31, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Ball Sandwich

All day long I was thinking I was supposed to do Upper Body Balance then remembered it was supposed to be this one. I did the moves, but the intensity wasn't there. I don't think my form was too good, either. I also went faster than he did, finishing a few moves ahead of him. I just wanted to get it done.

Start: 7:45 pm; Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 433; Avg Heart Rate: 126.


TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 1, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Butt and Belly

A good workout today. As I've said before, I like this one.

Start: 8:40 pm; Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 429; Avg Heart Rate: 117.


WEDNESDAY - SEPTEMBER 2, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

I only got about 30 minutes of sleep last night. I got through work OK, felt good when I got home, then took a nap that turned into about three hours. I started after 9 pm, but got it in. I still can't balance, but did my best.

Start: 9:20 pm  Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 317; Avg Heart Rate: 120.


THURSDAY - SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

I wasn't as relaxed as I could have been, but my mind was right. I'm still struggling with alignment in some of the poses and a lot if it is due to where my bone structure is. I'm realizing my hips are a lot tighter and closed than they should be. When I'm in Warrior 2 it's tough to square up. Little things like that are becoming more noticeable and are things I can work on.

Start: 8:05 pm; Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 246; Avg Heart Rate: 104.


FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 10 Minute Crusher Pack

I normally don't go real hard at this one, but today I did. I got in all 12 reps on the hanging ab moves. The leg moves went OK. The jump ropes were a lot better than last week. I didn't have too many misses.

Start: 9:10 pm;  Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 228; Avg Heart Rate:121.


SATURDAY - SEPTEMBER 5, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Intervals

Perfect day for this one. I'm drained and needed something that wasn't going to beat the hell out of me. Not too many moves are super tough, but you can get winded.

Start: 6:55 pm;  Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 301; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


SUNDAY - SEPTEMBER 6, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

Not bad. Average for this workout. Struggled again with the second set of Banana Boat's, but that is norma; Even Tony is struggling with them.

Start: 8:55 pm;  Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 224; Avg Heart Rate: 98.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 159.6 (-0,4 lbs)
Body Fat: 13.4% (-0.1%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

Not feeling too good mentally this week. A bit depressed. Work is getting to me. I got through the workouts. I did more than just going through the motions, but can't say I really killed any of them. I did do better than usual on 10 Minute Crusher Pack and Cardio Intervals, so that's good.

WEEK OF 8/24/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 6

MONDAY - AUGUST 24, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Upper Body Balance

I wasn't really in the mood to push myself. I did the exercises, but my form was probably bad, and I know I wasn't going to deep on the push-ups. Most of my rep counts were lower than when I last did this in December.

Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 434; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


TUESDAY - AUGUST 25, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg For Legs

Knowing I really can't balance on one leg, I went into it with no real expectations. Nothing magical happened. I still can't balance on one leg. I just wanted to keep a somewhat decent attitude and get it over with. He did a very long warm-up and a very long cool down, both which I pretty much sat around and watched.

Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 399; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 26, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Back and Belly

Although pull-ups aren't my strength I do like this workout. It's short and to the point. I wasn't sure how I'd fare with the pull-ups because I hadn't done them in a while, but I did pretty good. Wide pull-ups are toughest for me and I started with eight (6, came off the bar, then did 2 more). I matched or beat all my numbers from last time. I had no problems with the ab moves. The only one where I did less than last time were on the V-up Roll-ups, where I did 32 today and 38 last time. I don't like them, so I stopped at 32, just because. The big victory, though, was on the final move, the Seven Point Pull-ups. I got the initial seven in. The next seven started with the wide pull-ups. I can never get started again, so I made a lame effort, gave up, and put my pull-up bar away in shame. I didn't want to end the workout like that, so I put the pull-up bar back up, got through the wide grip one, then finished the other six with no problem. I tried go go again, but had nothing left. I knew I was done. 

Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 75; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


THURSDAY - AUGUST 27, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

Not my best effort. I just wasn't totally there physically, losing my balance, etc.

Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 210; Avg Heart Rate: 99.


FRIDAY - AUGUST 28, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE  100/30/20

Today is my 63rd birthday. I had to get this one done between work and a fantasy football draft I had to monitor. I was pretty bad on the Jump Ropes. My numbers were way down on the last few timesI did this routine. At the end, when he's trying to do 100 straight, I try to see how few misses I can have to get to 100 jumps. It's usually around 20, most of them being near the end. Today I quit at 29 jumps and 9 misses. It just wasn't happening. My knee is sore, so I may have been babying it. I was good on the crunches and push-ups. On the max push-up move, I did 70, which I thought was good.

Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 301; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


SATURDAY - AUGUST 29, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Confusion: Mason's Choice

This is one of my favorite workouts and one I always look forward to. I struggled a bit today. My feet were sliding a bit on the carpet so I wasn't going all out. I still enjoyed it, though.

Time: 43 minutes; Calories Burned: 322; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


SUNDAY - AUGUST 30, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

Very smooth except for a few of the Banana Boats.

Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 152; Avg Heart Rate: 94.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 160.0 (+2.0 lbs)
Body Fat" 13.5% (+0.3%)

A bounce back up from last week.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I'm sore and my mind is elsewhere. I'm fighting the workouts.

WEEK OF 8/17/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 5

MONDAY - AUGUST 17, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Ball Sandwich

Already into the second month and the Volume 2 workouts. I think these are my favorites. Tony seems to be in a really good mood for most of them. I'm really sore, especially my shoulders and traps,  and was a little timid going into this one.My reps were a bit lower than the last time I did this in January. However, I did work at it. I feel good afterwards.

Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 261 (Heart Rate Monitor problems again); Avg Heart Rate: 108.



TUESDAY - AUGUST 18, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Butt and Belly

This is a fun workout for me, and I did well today. The 8 Card Pickups are becoming easier for me and I did OK on the Frog Squats too, The Belly moves went well.

Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 240: Avg Heart Rate: 112.


WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 19, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

This is usually a throw a way workout for me because I can't balance on one leg. I get frustrated and go though the motions. Today I did my best. On a lot of the moves. I used a medicine ball below my lifted leg so I could tap it between reps. On others I just tapped the floor. I tapped on almost every single rep. However, when I was actually lifting the weight I tried lifting the leg off the floor, thus tightening my core briefly. I used 15 lb weights throughout and did 15 reps throughout (except on the 21;s).

Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 318; Avg Heart Rate: 117.


THURSDAY - AUGUST 20, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

I was having a problem holding many of the poses as long as he did, especially the Warrior 2 pose. It looks so simple, but for some reason I always struggle with it in this workout. Otherwise, I enjoy this workout because it's done at a relaxing pace and there aren't any crazy poses.

Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 294; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


FRIDAY - AUGUST 21, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 10 Minute Crusher Pack

I surprised myself a bit on the hanging abs by holding myself up long enough to do 12 reps on almost all of the moves. I was pretty bad on the jump ropes, partly because I was a bit timid with them.

Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 256; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


SATURDAY - AUGUST 22, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Intervals

I like this one. There are only a few moves I really don't like. The problem with the cardio workouts, I'm finding, is that I'm having a hard time going full blast. My balance is horrible, which affects my feet movement, so I often can't go as fast as he does. Still, for the length of this workout, I burned a lot of calories.

Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 338; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


SUNDAY - AUGUST 23, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

This is probably my favorite ab workout even though it's one of the longest. I like the pace and the moves. I did well. I think my only burp was on a few of the Banana Boats during the second set.

Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 216; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 158.0 (-2.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 13.2% (-0.3 %)

Normally I'd be happy, but I'm just not eating enough.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I like the Volume Two workouts. They might seem less than P90X-esque to some, but they get results. I'm sore almost all the time.

WEEK OF 8/10/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 4

MONDAY - AUGUST 10, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Recovery 4 Results

I absolutely ate like super crap at work today. Stress eating. When I got home my body basically shut down and told me to go screw myself. I was totally exhausted. I felt a bit better after a few hours and got this one in. It was a perfect day for a recovery workout and a rude reminder to take care of myself.

Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 268; Avg Heart Rate: 106.

TUESDAY - AUGUST 11, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Bun Shaper

I was feeling a bit out of it when I got home. The heat is getting to me a bit. It's not excessively hot, but it's been humid forever, and that wears on me. I took a bit of a nap when I got home, then did the workout. It went pretty good. My right knee is still a bit sore and I noticed it the most on the side kicks. The Eight Card pickup is the meanest move of the bunch, but I did quite well on that both times. I even did OK on the Sit Downs, which I usually don't like.

Time:49 minutes; Calories Burned: 488; Avg Heart Rate: 122.

WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 12, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

I used to be able to 8 reps with 40's a few years ago, but I've struggled with anything more than 30's the last few times. I saw from my sheets that I did 10 reps with 30's two weeks ago. Today I did 12 reps on the first set. I decided to try 40's on the second set and couldn't get them over my head, but I did get another 12 reps in. Something to work at. On all the other moves I pretty much did the same reps with the same weights I'd used the last few times. 

Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 332; Avg Heart Rate: 120..

THURSDAY - AUGUST 13, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth

My mind was wandering, but the workout went OK. I lost my balance several times, which I normally do, but otherwise things weren't feeling forced.

Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 337; Avg Heart Rate: 107.

FRIDAY - AUGUST 14, 2920 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

I took it move by move and it went well. I was relatively relaxed throughout.

Time:55 minutes; Calories Burned: 372; Avg Heart Rate: 108.

SATURDAY - AUGUST 15, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Medicine Ball Core Cardio 

For some reason I can never go full blast on this one and it's due to a total lack of coordination on my part. I keep losing my balance. I find myself ending up on my heel on a lot of the moves. I still was breathing heavy at the end. Heart Rate Monitor crapped out a few times, too.

Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 221; Avg Heart Rate: 109.

SUNDAY - AUGUST 16, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

I did it without the video again, and again I did it out of sequence, getting the harder moves done first. I did get interrupted a few times. It ended up going OK. I got 50 Mason Twists in, where before I couldn't get past 40. Today I did them halfway through the workout, instead of at the end, so that might have had somehing to do with it.

Time: 18 minutes; Calories Burned: 114; Avg Heart Rate: 99.

SUNDAY WEIGH IN:

Weight: 160.4 (-3.0 lbs)

Body Fat: 13.6% (-0.3%)

Good numbers, but I'm just not eating well. In fact, I'm not eating much. The constant heat is draining me.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

This is the lowest weight and body fat % I've been at since I started in 2008. I'm probably at a lower weigh than I should be, but I do feel good and toned.

WEEK OF 0/03/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 3

MONDAY - AUGUST 3, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30-15

I wasn't feeling like doing this one when I got home. I took a small nap, which sometimes refreshes me, but when I woke, I still was wondering how I'd get though it. My numbers were 30 push-ups and 6 pull-ups, which is what I'd been doing lately. It ended up being one of the worst workouts I've done in a long time. The push-ups went OK, but I could barely do any pull-ups. I was constantly coming off the bar, I was kipping, I wasn't getting all the way over the bar. Just horrible. On the bright side, I was able to get in an additional 65 push-ups while he was finishing up, so I did 425 total..

Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 421; Avg Heart Rate: 108.

TUESDAY - AUGUST 4, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs

I think I've said before that this is one of the toughest of all the One On One's, if not the toughest. I was determined to bounce back from yesterday's mess and do my best, which is exactly what happened. I took the moves one by one. I usually am toast by the last few moves and can barely get off the floor, but today was a bit better at the end. I did take a small two minute break with three moves left, which I'm sure helped, but it was the only break I took in the entire workout. There were a few moves I didn't go all the way to the ground, like the Dead Lift Squats and the 4 Corners, but others I did, like the Side Long Jumps and the Side Lunge Reaches (with an 8 lb medicine ball). Overall, I was very happy with my effort. A good bounce back.

Time: 63 minutes; Calories Burned: 5578; Avg Heart Rate: 116.

WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 5, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Just Arms

Another good workout. Most times I try to top what I did the last time, but today I tried to play it smart. On the Bicep Curls, I did them standing. He says you can lift more seated, which is what I did two weeks ago,but I find otherwise, and tested it today. On the first set I used 35's and got in 10 reps (had 8 reps two weeks ago). On the second set I was feeling a bit frisky and pulled out 40's. I only got 4 reps in, and they were a bit ugly, but I could see myself being able to handle them as I guild my strength back up. Two weeks ago I strained my left arm by using 25's on the Tricep Kickbacks and it affected the rest of the workout. Instead of tempting fate I went down to 20's and they worked well. I was able to finish up with the weights I'd used in the past, including going back to 20's on the Crazy 8's.

Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 340; Avg Heart Rate: 119.

THURSDAY - AUGUST 6, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth

This was my best yoga routine in a long time. I was a bit calmer than usual, probably because I cut down on my pop consumption the last two days. My balance was a bit better than usual. My concentration level was better also. My balance is still very poor, but at least today I was dealing with it and trying to fight through it, rather than just getting flustered and giving up.

Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 331; Avg Heart Rate: 111. 

FRIDAY - AUGUST 7, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior

I wore my sneakers to stand on the bands. I also pulled out a few bands ahead of time to prepare myself. I used the Yellow band on the bicep and squat moves. I used the maroon band on the moves there I had to push them way over my head, It went Ok, but I really wasn't in the mood. I'd pulled aout a Red band to use on some of the moves, but the nandle broke on the first move with it. When I reached the hal way point of the workout, I hit pause and spent about 10 minutes trying to fix the handle, mostly because I didn't feel like finishing the workout. However, I did finiih.

Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 355; Avg Heart Rate: 114.

SATURDAY - AUGUST 8, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Super Cardio

I wasn't really looking forward to this one, but I wasn't dreading it either, as this is one of the easier workouts. I didn't get to it until mid-evening. I had problems with my legs getting real heavy in the second section. I could barely get off the ground on the 180 Jumps and could barely move my legs on the last set of DB Scoots. I'd mowed the lawn earlier in the day, so maybe that had something to do with it, but it never bothered me that much before. Maybe it's what I'm eating.

Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 364; Avg Heart Rate: 114. 

SUNDAY - AUGUST 9, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

I did this one late, and I did it without the video, while I was watching the hockey game. I also did it out of sequence. I did a few of the Ab Ripper (Power 90) moves, then got the harder Ab Ripper X (P90X) moves out of the way before finishing up what I hadn't done. The moves felt a lot easier then the have in the past. The only one that didn't go smoothly were the Mason Twists. I did 32, came down for a second, then finished the final eight. I didn't go for more than that, because I was struggling.

Time: 19 minutes; Calories Burned: 119; Avg Heart Rate: 99.

SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 163.4 (+1.4 lbs)

Body Fat: 13.9% (+0.2%)

I didn't eat great. I had a full container of Macaroni Salad (with mayo) over the last two days, which probably didn't help.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I recovered nicely after Monday's disappointment, and got a few good workouts in. I'm sore, though, which can be expected. That concept never seems to go away, no matter how long you've been at it.

I guess it's a good sore.
