WEEK OF 06/26/2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 6 - WEEK 3

MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30-15

I wasn't sure how I'd handle things, because the workout two weeks ago really had me sore. I did OK. 30 pushups per set and 6 pullups with the pullup assist on each set. I did 8 on three of those sets, just to increase my numbers a bit. I finished a bit ahead of them, so I did 60 extra pushups to finish things off. I feel good afterwards. I'm starting to get used to the new wrist heart rate monitor and how it relays my results to my phone, and I really like it.

Start Time: 6:45 pm; Workout time: 59 minutes; Calories Burned: 376; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs

This is the one that gets me the most sore. It certainly did two weeks ago. I still had to modify a lot, but I tried to go deeper on a few moves to make up for it.

Start Time: 7:10 pm; Workout time: 64 minutes; Calories Burned: 413; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Just Arms

Got this done as soon as I got home from work, so I could watch the NHL draft. I was able to increase my weight or reps from two week ago on a few of the moves. Felt good.

Start Time: 6:55 pm; Workout time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 371; Avg Heart Rate: 118.


THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

Frustrating. I can't balance on one leg, and there are a lot of moves here, notably the vinyasas, that require that. I'm stumbling all over the place, and don't see any benefits right now. I tried different socks and footwear  today, and neither worked, so I went back to the neuropathy socks, which work the best. Yoga is supposed to be relaxing, and this is anything but relaxing right now. All I can do is keep trying and hope my body (legs and feet) will adjust somehow. 

Start Time: 8:40 pm; Workout time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 257; Avg Heart Rate: 99.


FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior

I played golf this morning and was really tired when I got home. I took several power naps and finally woke up enough to get this done relatively late. It's hard to judge this workout because it goes so fast and I'm constantly experimenting with the bands. I can't really get set to maximize each move. Overall, I think I did OK.

Start Time: 9:05 pm; Workout time: 54 minutes; Calories Burned: 316; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


SATURDAY, JULY 1, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Super Cardio

I did OK. I didn't dog it, but I could have pushed a bit harder.

Start Time: 8:30 pm; Workout time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 239; Avg Heart Rate: 95.


SUNDAY, JULY 2, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

I did the missing Cross Legged / Wide Legged Situps before the workout. The rest went OK. I can usually feel a burn about 4 moves into the workout. The Oblique V-ups went better than last time, but I'm still struggling mightily with the V-up/Roll ups. They're hurting my lower back because I have to get momentum to get up. I can't just pull myself up with my abs.

Start Time: 10:15 pm; Workout time: 25 minutes; Calories Burned: 114; Avg Heart Rate: 91.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 160.8 (+0.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 14.4% (+0.2%)

I need to eat better. Lower the body fat.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

A lot of tough workouts this week, and I did pretty well with them, probably better on some moves over Week 1. I certainly wasn't as sore as I was in Week 1.

WEEK OF 06/19/2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 6 - WEEK 2

MONDAY - JUNE 19, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Recovery 4 Results

This is a good active recovery routine, sort of a light workout. I like it, and kind of needed it today. I got my new heart rate monitor delivered today. It's a Polar, but it's a wrist monitor as opposed to the straps I've always used. The calories and heart rate seemed to jive with what I've done in the past, and it synchs to your phone for keeping data. Pretty easy to set up. The display on the watch is large and colorful. So far, I like it.

Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 296; Avg Heart Rate: 112.


TUESDAY - JUNE 20, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Bun Shaper

I like this one a bit. You feel like you accomplished something when you finish the 8 Card Pickup move, and you do it twice in this workout. The only move where I held onto a chair when Tony didn't was the Crossover Lunges. My balance is horrible, a lot worse than it was the last time I did this workout three years ago, so it felt encouraging to do many of the moves without holding on to anything. The only move where I cheated a bit was the Sit Downs. I brought out my workout bench for that move, but only really sat down once. I find it hurts my back if I reach up like he does. I just squatted low instead. It seemed to work.

Start Time: 7:55 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 379; Avg Heart Rate: 115.


WEDNESDAY - JUNE 21, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

I used less weight than three years ago on several moves, but I still felt it and struggled a bit.

Start Time: 8:40 pm; Workout Time: 37 minutes; Calories Burned: 246; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


THURSDAY - JUNE 22, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

I got through it this time. I did all the moves. A lot weren't pretty, as I can't balance on one foot, making the vinyasa moves to the leg swing through, up into Warrior One very difficult. I did what I could.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 277; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


FRIDAY - JUNE 23, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

I had a bit of a headache going into this, so I was procrastinating a bit, but I got it done. I had to modify a few moves because I can't jump, but I tried replacing them with similar moves, just a bit cut back

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 291; Avg Heart Rate: 99.


SATURDAY - JUNE 24, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Medicine Ball Core Cardio

Poor effort. I was lethargic going into it. I started with an 8 lb medicine ball, then quickly changed to a 5 lb dumbbell after just a few moves, as my shoulders were burning when lifting it above my head. I had to modify a few moves, but those modifications should be OK moving forward.

Start Time: 7:00 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 205; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


SUNDAY - JUNE 25, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

All went Ok, except for the V up Rollups and the left side Oblique Crunches. I struggled mightily with both.

Start Time: 8:35 pm; Workout Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 107; Avg Heart Rate: 91.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 160.2 (+1.0 lbs)
Body Fat: 14.2% (+0.1%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

This week seemed a bit easier than last week, but was still tough. My weight is fluctuating around 160 each week, which is OK, but I think I need to get my Body Fat down a bit.

WEEK OF 06/12/2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 6 - WEEK 1

Starting Weight: 159.4 lbs
Starting Body Fat: 13.9%

MONDAY - JUNE 12, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30-15

I've been doing Power of 4 since late 2020. I can't say I was getting bored with it, because I wasn't, but I wanted to go back to my favorite program, which is the One On Ones. Today as 30-15, which is Chest and Back, and the original "Challenge" program as he calls them. I did 30 pushups and 6 pullups (with the Pullup Assist). I didn't have too many problems with either, and was surprised I didn't struggle with the pullups. It felt good to get back at it again. The first three days of this series are bears.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 368; Avg Heart Rate: 114.  


TUESDAY - JUNE 13, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs

I lost my ability to jump since the last time I did this one. What I learned from doing plyo routines in The Power of 4 was that I could try and make up by going deeper and exploding up with my legs instead of jumping off my feet, which is the problem. When all is said and done, this is more of a leg workout than a cardio workout (although your heart rate can get up). I tried taking that philosophy into this workout. Sometimes I was able to go deeper, sometimes not. On the moves where I had to touch the floor, I often lost my balance, so on many of them I just reached for the floor. It certainly wasn't perfect, but I don't think I cheated too much. I did what I could. My legs are going to feel it. 

Start Time: 7:20 pm; Workout Time: 63 minutes; Calories Burned: ???; Avg Heart Rate: ???.  


WEDNESDAY - JUNE 14, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Just Arms

I normally like working my arms, but today's workout was humbling. I was comparing my numbers to what I did the last time I did this workout, which was three years ago. I was usually 5 lbs less on each move, and some of those I struggled with. Granted, I'm three years older and I lost some strength when I got sick a few years ago, but it was eye opening. I didn't feel sorry for myself, played it smart, and did what I could. (Heart rate monitor seems to be done. New battery didn't even help.)

Start Time: 8:55 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: ???; Avg Heart Rate: ???.  


THURSDAY - JUNE 15, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

I am sore all over. This normally happens when I use this One ON One schedule, as the first three workouts are beasts. The workout usually loosens things up. Not today. I struggled through the first 10 minutes. When I got to the vinyasas, I physically couldn't fo them. My body just said no. I don't know if it was a mental thing, or what is was, but I spent most of the workout on the floor trying to use the meditation techniques I learned from Power Of 4.

Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: ???; Avg Heart Rate: ???.  


FRIDAY - JUNE 16, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior

Some of the soreness has left. This workout is always tough for me because I'm trying to adjust to the bands with foot placement, etc and he's going so fast. I just kind of wing it. I'm now using Tony's resistance bands as opposed to the Beachbody ones, so I had to figure that out. I'd only used the blue band in other workouts, and couldn't get it above my head for some of the shoulder and tricep moves. I finally opened up the lighter resistance yellow band, and that seemed to work on those moves. I ordered a new heart rate monitor online.

Start Time: 8:30 pm; Workout Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: ???; Avg Heart Rate: ???.  


SATURDAY - JUNE 17, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Super Cardio

Never one of my favorites as Tony is admittedly in a poor mood. For some reason, I didn't notice it as much today. I can no longer do the jumping moves where he's twisting his body mid air, but I did what I could. I also didn't reach all the way to the floor on others because I lose my balance. I still got winded a bit.

Start Time: 9:00 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: ???; Avg Heart Rate: ???.  


SUNDAY - JUNE 18, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

I did better than I thought I would. My abs started burning a bit around the 7th moves, but they were OK afterwards. I was a bit slow on the Oblique Crunches.

Start Time: 9:20 pm; Workout Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: ???; Avg Heart Rate: ???.  


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 159.2 (-0.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 14.1% (+0.2%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

It was rough, especially the first for days. Not being able to do the yoga was a real eye opener. I've always been able to get through it before at the start of a new round. My body is a bit tired, but I'm looking forward to the rest of the round.
