 MONDAY - OCTOBER 12, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth

Last week of the round. All yoga. My balance was scary bad today, but otherwise I enjoyed the workout.

Start: 9:00 pm; Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 347; Avg Heart Rate: 106. 


TUESDAY - OCTOBER 13, 2010 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

This one is shorter and to the point. It was very relaxing today. My balance was a lot better than yesterday.

Start: 6:00 pm; Time: 36 minutes: Calories Burned: 230; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


WEDNESDAY - OCTOBER 14, 2020 - TONY HORTON ON ON ONE - Yoga: MC2

I'm starting to accept this one more as I get more used to it. Today might have been my best effort with it, I wasn't fighting it as much as I usually do. I just did it.

Start: 8:40 pm; Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 455; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


THURSDAY - OCTOBER 15, 2020 - TONY HORTON ON ON ONE - Yoga: MC2

A repeat of yesterday's workout and pretty much the same results. I just got it done. The time went fast.

Start:8:05 pm: Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 511; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


FRIDAY - OCTOBER 16, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

I didn't get started until late. I played golf this morning in really cold weather. When I got home I just chilled out and took a few naps. I knew this wasn't a long or intense workout, so I figured I'd get to it sooner or later. It wasn't my best effort. I can usually get through this one without coming out of too many moves early, but today was an exception. On both sides of the Warrior 3 sequences I struggled and couldn't hold the Half Moons. The Warrior 2's felt like they were being held forever. But I got through it.

Start: 9:25 pm: Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 208; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


SATURDAY - OCTOBER 17, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ONE ONE - Fountain Of Youth

This was my last workout of the round. It wasn't great, but not totally bad, either. I just wanted to finish things out.

Start: 7:10 pm; Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 303; Avg Heart Rate: 109.


SUNDAY - OCTOBER 18, 2020 - Rest


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 155.8 (-3.0 lbs)
Body Fat: 12.7% (.3%)

Big drops. I'm not eating enough, and I'm not eating well.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

All yoga. When I designed the schedule for this a few years ago, I needed something for week 13, and came up with the yoga idea. I wondered if it would be too much. It turns out, it's a perfect finish, because I'm finding by the time I get to this point, my body is pretty beat up. I really liked it. 


THOUGHTS FOR THE ROUND

The One On One's don't get the credit they deserve. I always get great results with them. I've done multiple rounds of the Original P90X, X2, X3, and often times finding myself plateauing. Not with the One On One's. They're fun, and there's a constant variety, mixing in 36 workouts instead of the 12 to 16 of the other programs. My body is sore and beat up, as it always is when I finish this program, but I feel like I accomplished something. There are days when I don't feel like working out (more so than not), but I always get it done. Doing something with an enjoyable atmosphere makes it that much easier. I loved the round. Numbers wise, I lost 8.2 lbs and 1.6% body fat.


WHAT'S NEXT?

I'm going to take a few weeks off and then dive into Tony's Power Nation Beta 1 workouts. I'd like to jump in now, but my body does need a bit of a rest.

WEEK OF 10/05/2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 5 - WEEK 12

MONDAY - OCTOBER 5, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - UBX

I re-arranged my living room, where I work out. I put up my dumbbell rack, and moved most of my equipment from another room into the living room. I do have more space to work out, and it felt cool to be grabbing weights off the rack. It's just a fresh feeling. The workout went well. A lot of tough moves, but I'm able to do them.

Start: 7:30 pm; Time: 60 minutes; Calories Burned: 570; Avg Heart Rate: 120.


TUESDAY - OCTOBER 6, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Synergistics: MC2

I did most of the workout in some workout shoes I just got. They made a bit of a difference on some moves, but not a lot. I still struggle with a lot of these moves because my balance is bad. I'm very timid on the three different kinds of one legged plank burpees.

Start: 8:15 pm; Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 502; Avg Heart Rate: 109.


WEDNESDAY - OCTOBER 7, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - V-Sculpt (MC2)

I changed things up a bit today, just to give it some freshness. I like doing the band moves, as there are very few workouts that use them, unless as an option to a weight or pull-up move. I did the eight non-band moves, then repeated them, then I did the for band moves and repeated them. I figured I'd leave the good stuff to the end. I'm not sure it made any difference, but I liked the change. I did Ok overall. I probably could have used a bit more weight on some of the bicep moves, but I stuck with what I'd used before, which was probably stupid, as we're supposed to be growing a bit.

Start: 8:05 pm: Time: 56 minutes; Calories Burned: 540; Avg Heart Rate: 122.


THURSDAY - OCTOBER 8, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2

I was actually looking forward to this one today, even though I normally don't like it. I just needed some R and R because my body is feeling really beat up. It ended up being one of my best efforts at this workout. I just did it. I tried not to get too frustrated at things I struggle with. The room temperature was good, which as stupid as that sounds, makes a difference to me, especially on yoga routines. I still lost my balance quite a bit, but I just moved along.

Start: 7:40 pm; Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 473; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


FRIDAY - OCTOBER 9, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - P.A.P.

This is the last resistance workout of the round and I was looking forward to getting it done because my body is really tired. I got through it OK, even doing most of the warmup moves. The only move I had problems with was the Front To Back Lunges, because my balance is so bad. I did the workout in my new Xero workout shoes and they seemed to work better than a few days ago.

Start: 7:45 pm: Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 552; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


SATURDAY - OCTOBER 10, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Stretch and Recovery

This is getting tougher for me. My flexibility has gotten worse in a lot of area, especially in my hips. It seems the more I'm working out, the worse my feet and ankles are twisting in, which is in turn causing my hips to close up. I think I need to seriously look at finding a solution. Today my left knee and ankle was really sore. The right knee and ankle was sore too, but not as much. My quads and hamstrings were also sore on both sides. I'm hoping most of the soreness goes away in the next week or so because I won't be doing a lot of jumping or weighted leg moves.

Start:6:40 pm; Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 278; Avg Heart Rate: 88. 


SUNDAY - OCTOBER 11, 2020 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ARX2

I'm actually liking this one. I'm gotten used to most off the moves, even the strange ones near the end. None of them gave me too many problems. I did 20 reps of each, and did 120 Bicycles at the end.

Start: 7:55 pm; Time: 45 minutes; Calories Burned: 253; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 158.8 (+0.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 13.0% (no change)

I'm still not eating well. I'm not eating enough and when I am, it's crap.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

As I said a few days ago, I'm glad the resistance workouts are done. My body is tired. This always happens near the end of a round, especially with this program. Next week is all yoga.
