MONDAY - MARCH 6, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Triple Trouble Challenge
I increased my reps from 30 to 32 on the pushups and from 5 to 6 on the assisted pullups. I didn't have too many problems, other than having to come off the pullup bar a few times because I don't have too much grip strength anymore. I did try going a smidge lower in my pushups a few times, and that felt good.

TUESDAY - MARCH 7, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Flash Card Plyo
I just felt "off" a bit. I have a bad bunion on my left foot, and my big toe bends in at like a 60 degree angle. I tried putting a piece of sponge between that toe and the one next to it, to see if a wider foot base would increase my balance at all. It seemed to make it a bit worse, but I'm thinking that's because I wasn't used to the difference. I'll keep trying it. Overall, the workout went OK, but not my best effort. I did try the long jumps a bit though. Normally, I do "tires" from the P90X days, but thought I'd try the actual jumps. I could only jump a few inches. I have no spring in my legs, because I can't push off my toes. I'm flat footed all the time, so I land hard.

WEDNESDAY - MARCH 8, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Shoulders and Arms Recharge
This went well. I used the same weights as usual, but I was able to get in a few more Shoulder Presses and Bicep Curls on the second round than I did last time. I was going a bit faster than they were on the video, so I tiring a bit. On the first round of Tricep Kickbacks I tried using 20's instead of the usual 15's, but I was a bit tired and my form was bad.

THURSDAY - MARCH 9, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Don't Skip Yoga
My balance was ok, but I couldn't hold the poses for too long. I got though it,

FRIDAY - MARCH 10, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Primal Flow
This one is tough for me because I'm not flexible or coordinated, so I really don't like it. I put rubber winter gloves on my hands because of all the crawling around, and they seemed to help a bit. I did all the moves. Some I was more aggressive than others, depending on whether I liked them or not.
Start Time: 9:00 pm; Workout Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 365; Avg Heart Rate: 102.
SATURDAY - MARCH 11, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Attack and Defend
Sort of middlin'. My balance wasn't great again, but not horrible. This is one of my favorite workouts, but I just wanted to get it over with.
Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 168; Avg Heart Rate: 97.
SUNDAY - MARCH 12, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Power of Core
I didn't use the video, and instead went off the worksheet, hence the shorter time. I even did the moves in a different order. There are a lot of moves I don't like, so I did them first.
Start Time: 9:40 pm; Workout Time: 14 minutes; Calories Burned: 111; Avg Heart Rate: 109.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 156.4 (-2.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 12.8% (-0.6%)
Sort of a re-set, as this is close to where I was two weeks ago.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
Not much to say. I got through the workouts OK. Some of them were tough and not my favorites. I'm feeling the toning in my shoulders, and my arms were sore during the week, which I guess is a good sign.
