WEEK OF 08/09/2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - WEEK 11

MONDAY - AUGUST 9, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Heart, Lungs, Legs

This isn't a bad workout, but there are a few things I have to modify. Overall, I did OK. I didn't kill myself, but didn't dog it either. 'm almost afraid to go all out for some reason.

Start Time: 8:45 pm; Workout Time: 61 minutes; Calories Burned: 411; Avg Heart Rate: 102. 


TUESDAY - AUGUST 10, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Chest and Back Round Robin

I was trying to fix some much needed things around the house and didn't think there was anyway I was going to have the timeor energy to get this one done, but around 8pm I just did it. A good workout. I used some seated weighted back moves as on of my back options and I worked out OK. I only used 30's on those. Probably could have gone higher, but I was feeling a bit timid.

Start Time: 7:55 pm; Workout Time: 64 minutes; Calories Burned: 528; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 11, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Drop, Pulse, and Hold

I wasn't really looking forward to this one. It's not incredibly hard, other than some balance issues, but it's tedious and incredibly too long. I got it done though. I didn't go too deep on a lot of the moves, and I didn't hold things as much as they did.

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 466; Avg Heart Rate: 104.


THURSDAY - AUGUST 12, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Push

I was feeling a bit better because I finally got my bathroom shower fixed. It's been a while since I've been able to take a long, warm, relaxing shower, I'd tried fixing things myself, but that didn't go well. I took ome of those showers when I got home, took a long nap, then got into the workout late. I was actually feeling a bit strong, and knocked out a few more reps than last time on a few of the moves. I wouldn't say my form or range of motion were picture perfect, but it usually never is, and it's not that bad.

Start Time: 9:45 pm; Workout Time: 54 minutes; Calories Burned: 406; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


FRIDAY - AUGUST 13, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Pure Stretch

I played golf in the morning. I was looking forward to this workout, but was really tired and kept putting it off. I finally got to it late, but really wasn't into it because I was so tired. When we got to the hamstring stretches, I pulled out my foam roller instead because my lower back was abit sore and we do hamstring stretches several times a week during cool downs. I ended up dozing off during the foam rolling and woke up just as they were finishing up. Rather that going back and doing what I missed, I just called it a day.

Start Time: 10:20 pm; Workout Time: 56 minutes; Calories Burned: 190; Avg Heart Rate: 86.


SATURDAY - AUGUST 14, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Primal Flow

Saturday's have usually been yoga days on the schedule, and I'd been doing a stretch routine instead, but he threw this one in there. It's not my favorite routine, and I was not looking forward to it. Again, I started late, really wasn't into it, and half assed it.

Start Time: 9:15 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 261; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


SUNDAY - AUGUST 15, 2021 - POWER NATION BETA 3 - Rest

I was supposed to do Crunch Town, which I usually do late on Sundays. However, I was feeling a little bit hot, took a late shower to feel a bit better, then realized I was exhausted, and went to bed about 9pm. This is the first scheduled workout I missed in I can't tell you when (maybe years), but I have no regrets. 


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 143.2 (+0.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 9.7% (+0.1%)

A little gain, which is a bit encouraging.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

This seemed to be one of the tougher weeks in recent memory. I got through most of the routines OK, but tired near the end of the week. The diabetes routine is starting to wear on me, but I'm trying to stick with it in by being militant in watching my carbs and sugar intake. I have a doctor's appointment in 10 days and should have blood work done shortly after that to see where I'm at. Hopefully, it's good.
