WEEK OF 06/21/2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3- WEEK 4

MONDAY - JUNE 21, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Flash Card Plyo

Another one that doesn't float my boat. There were a few moves where I didn't kill myself, especially those where you are reaching or going to the floor. (Plank Hops, 90/10 Jumps).

Start Time: 8:20 pm; Workout Time: 40 minutes; Calories Burned: 308; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


TUESDAY - JUNE 22, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Chest, Back, and Triceps

There are a lot of strange moves in this one, but I did my best and beat most of my numbers from last time. The Skull Crushers are tough. My form wasn't great on those, but I tried.

Start Time: 9:25 pm; Workout Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 206; Avg Heart Rate: 99.


WEDNESDAY - JUNE 23, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Attack and Defend

This one is a bit frustrating. In the original Kenpo X, you did roughly 25 reps of the same move, one after another, and yuou could work up a bit of a sweat if you went for it. In this one you have to wait for Tony to say to do the rep, so you're not really moving continuously, except for shuffling your feet a bit. He's all over the place on this one, almost as if he's trying to trick the cast members in a game of Simon Says. Sometimes the cast members don't even know when he's telling them to do a rep, of if he's just talking. I think next time I'll just keep repeating the reps at my speed for the 25 seconds instead of waiting for his cue.

Start Time: 9:10 pm; Workout Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 280; Avg Heart Rate: 98.


THURSDAY - JUNE 24, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Shoulders and Biceps

Short workout, but I felt it a bit. I increased my reps from last time on a few of the moves. I started with 30's on the Stripped Set Bicep Curls, and got all eight reps in, but the last few were ugly. There was a time when I could do 40's, but not now. I hope I can get some of that strength back.

Start Time: 8:45 pm; Workout Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 262; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


FRIDAY - JUNE 25, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Flash Cardio 24

I had a better grasp on it than the last time, when it was the first time I'd done it. However, it still seemed like Tony was out od synch. At one point he said we were going to do Sun Salutations for a minute, then said "we're 28 seconds in, 10 more to go". We were supposed to be doing them after every fourth cardio move, but in the second half he went like seven moves without doing one, then a bit later he did a Sun Salutation, one cardio move, the another Sun Salutation. I guess I'm nitpicking, and this is a trial situation, but it can get confusing at times. Overall, it was an OK workout. Of the 24 cardio moves, which you do twice each, the only hard one was the Burpees. In the first round, I did kicks instead of the Burpees, because I hate them, but did do them in the second round.

Start Time: 9:40 pm; Workout Time: 37 minutes; Calories Burned: 270; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


SATURDAY - JUNE 26, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Primal Yoga

He gibes you the option of going with one of the longer Yoga routines, or this one, which is about a half hour shorter, so I'm usually going to go with this one. I'm finding my attention span with yoga is becoming very short as my balance seems to be getting worse. I couldn't figure out why this one seems so hard to me, then I realzed he's going at breakneck speed during the vinyasas and poses sections.

Start Time: 9:05 pm; Workout Time: 40 minutes; Calories Burned: 257; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


SUNDAY - JUNE 27, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Core Deep

I still can't do the range of motion on a lot of the moves, so I modify. I never do really great on this one, just what I can.

Start Time: 9:00 pm; Workout Time: 28 minutes; Calories Burned: 130; Avg Heart Rate: 91.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 148.4 (-1.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 11.0% (no change)

With my condition, losing weight is no longer good.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

All my thoughts are on controlling my diabetes. The workouts are secondary, but it is important I do something.
