MONDAY - MAY 1, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Chest and Back Round Robin
Just when I said I wasn't wearing down, I felt worn down. My strength wasn't there. I wasn't going real low on the pushups off the medicine balls or the ones off the Bosu. Everything else was OK. My rotation, as usual a) Pushup Stands (32 reps, b) Band Pulldowns (16), c) Pushups on Medicine Balls (24), d) Seated Weighted Back Moves (12 reps with30 lb weights), e) Decline Pushups on an upside down Bosu Ball (16), f) Pullups with the Pullup Assist Bands (8).

TUESDAY - MAY 2, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Plyo 30/15
Sometimes I use little tricks to make the workout more interesting or less daunting. In this routine, the first 16 exercises aren't bad, then there are two in a row which kill me, the Frog Squats (Burpees), and the lunge moves that follows it. I dread those two moves the entire workout. Today I got swapped out two of the first three moves that were much easier and did the harder ones instead. This got my heart rate up faster, allowed me to do them crisper, and allowed me to enjoy the rest of the workout more, because I knew they were done. I also noticed I was going harder von the other moves because I didn't have to conserve my energy. It worked very well.
Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 43 minutes; Calories Burned: 280; Avg Heart Rate: 105.
WEDNESDAY - MAY 3, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Arms and Abs
I increased my reps or weight on a few moves, so that was good. I also went a bit faster than they did, but don't think that affected anything.
Start Time: 6:55 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 276; Avg Heart Rate: 106.
THURSDAY - MAY 4, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Power and Strength Yoga
Frustrating. There are too many Vinyasas to Warrior One moves in this workout, and I wasn't handling them too well. I was constantly off balance, and at one point I lost my cool and "F" bombed the situation. I sat through a few of the redundant sets in the ladder portion, but regrouped and finished it off. Not very relaxing,
Start Time: 7:55 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 322; Avg Heart Rate: 105.
FRIDAY - MAY 5, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Head To Toe
I did the last move (Burpees) during the warmup to get it out of the way, then did the rest of the workout OK. I increased my reps on a few of the moves.
Start Time:8:15 pm; Workout Time: 56 minutes; Calories Burned: 251; Avg Heart Rate: 106.
SATURDAY - MAY 6, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Kicking and Punching
This was the last of the major workouts for this round. Tomorrow is Body Scan Meditation and next week is short cardio and stretching routines. I like this workout, but it is a bit long. Again, my balance wasn't great, so I can't go all out, but I did what I could.
Start Time:6:45 pm; Workout Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 231?; Avg Heart Rate: 99.
SUNDAY - MAY 7, 2023 - THE POWER OF 4 - Body Scan Meditation
My mind was racing a bit, and I was a bit impatient, but it was relaxing, and did go fast.
Start Time:8:00 pm; Workout Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 50; Avg Heart Rate: 80.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 163.6 (+0.2 lbs)

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I'm glad I'm done with the tougher routines for this round. Feeling stronger.
