WEEK OF 07/31/2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 6 - WEEK 8

MONDAY - JULY 31, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Upper Body Balance

I did better than two weeks ago, but nowhere near where I was in my last round in 2020. I don't seem to have the strength to go plyo on my pushups, plus I'm afraid I'm going to hurt myself by slipping off a ball. That doesn't make for a good combination. However, I did what I thought was reasonable on the balls. I even got in four very lame Impossible Pushups. The boat moves went OK, but my legs were dropping on a lot of them. Tough workout.

Start Time: 6:45 pm; Workout Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 396; Avg Heart Rate: 113.


TUESDAY - AUGUST 1, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

As I did last time, I held onto a chair to work the one leg a little, otherwise it would have a worthless work.

Start Time: 8:40 pm; Workout Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 252; Avg Heart Rate: 97.


WEDNESDAY -AUGUST 2, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Back and Belly

Short workout. I got through it OK. I used the Pullup Assist on all the pullups and got in eight reps on each of those. I got 30 reps on the belly moves.

Start Time: 9:35 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 239; Avg Heart Rate: 107.


THURSSDAY - AUGUST 3, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

I was going in a bit encouraged because I did so well on this last week. It was a bit short of that, but still OK.

Start Time: 8:40 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 279; Avg Heart Rate: 112.


FRIDAY -AUGUST 4, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 100/30/20

No problems with the pushups or crunches, except. I only did 50 pushups on the last set, where I max out, and did 75 last time. Instead of the rope moves I switched between doing 50 Heisman's and 50 Alternating A-Skips. It seemed to work out OK.

Start Time: 10:15 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 232; Avg Heart Rate: 97.


SATURDAY - AUGUST 5, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Confusion: Mason's Choice

Not good. My balance and coordination was bad. My feet weren't cooperating. At one point I literally froze and couldn't move because my feet didn't want to.

Start Time: 8:35 pm; Workout Time: 43 minutes; Calories Burned: 327; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


SUNDAY -AUGUST 6, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

No issues. I enjoyed it.

Start Time: 4:25 pm; Workout Time: 3 minutes; Calories Burned: 130; Avg Heart Rate: 90.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 156.8 (-3.4 lbs)
Body Fat: 13.4% (-0.6%)

These are big drops. Probably an aberration, which happens every once in a while. There will probably be a re-set next week.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

This is the end of the second month and Volume 2, which is probably my favorite of the three. I'm feeling pretty good and enjoying the ride.

WEEK OF 07/24/2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 6 - WEEK 7

MONDAY - JULY 24, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Ball Sandwich

This can be a bit of a tough workout. I got through it OK, but had to modify a few of the ball moves. I didn't go plyo on the Plyo Ball move. I rolled the ball back and forth instead. I didn't elevate my feet on the Stability Ball Pushups. I slipped off a few times last time I did this workout, and I didn't want a repeat performance with a chance of hurting myself. I did all pullups with the pullup assisr.

Start Time: 7:00 pm; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 323; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


TUESDAY - JULY 25, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Butt and Belly

Tougher than it looks. I did OK. The 8 card pickups are going pretty good. I just have to start before he does on those because I go a lot slower, but I'm able to manage that.

Start Time: 8:10 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 304; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


WEDNESDAY - JULY 26, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

Did what I could. 15 lbs. 12 reps each.

Start Time: 7:35 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 216; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


THURSDAY - JULY 27, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

Probably the best yoga workout I've done in a long time. For some reason I was relaxed without trying. My balance was a bit better than normal and I was able to hold most of the poses for the same time Tony did. Even my flexibility was there in the hamstring cooldown. It was as close to zen like as I can remember.

Start Time: 8:25 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 212; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


FRIDAY - JULY 28, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 10 Minute Crusher Pack

I normally write down my reps, but since this one moves so quickly from move to move I decided to ignore writing things down and instead using that time to actually do more reps. I think I got a better, more concentrated workout, especially in my legs. I did alternating A Skips instead of the Jump Rope and pre-planned Kenpo moves instead of the Shadow Boxing. It all worked out well. The only thing I had problems with was the hanging ab moves, but I'll work on those. This turned into a good workout, and I felt it.

Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 245; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


SATURDAY - JULY 29, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Intervals

I was tired all day and took a long nap before I started this. I was very sluggish and wondered how I was going to get it done, but I did. I felt better as the workout went along, and did what I could.

Start Time: 9:00 pm ; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 258 ; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


SUNDAY - JULY 30, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

Again, it went very well except for the second set of Banana Boats. This is one of my favorite workouts in all those that I have, not just the One on Ones..

Start Time: 8:50 pm ; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 125 ; Avg Heart Rate: 91.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 160.2 (-0.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 14.0% (no change)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I've passed the half way point for this round. It's gone very quickly, and I'm loving it. I'm also still getting sore here and there, which is a good sign.

WEEK OF 07/17/2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 6 - WEEK 6

MONDAY, JULY 17, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Upper Body Balance

I can't believe I'm into week 6 already. This is going fast, I think because I'm enjoying it so much. Today was an absolute struggle. There were moves where I used to do a lot of reps that I can't do well anymore. I can't explode up onto a ball with a plyo pushup. I can't feel my feet, so the Four Ball Pushups were almost impossible. That's one of my favorite moves, so I was a bit shocked I couldn't do it. We'll see what happens next time.

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 364; Avg Heart Rate: 109.


TUESDAY, JULY 18, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg For Legs

This was pretty much a waste of time for me when I could feel my feet. My balance was always bad. Now that I can't feel things I figured it was really pointless. I wasn't sure how to modify. I decided to hold onto a chair as lightly as I could. It made the workout at least semi effective. It didn't work on my balance, but it might have worked on my leg strength a bit, as I still had to do the moves on one leg. I'm a bit proud of myself for coming up with an alternative something, and not just giving up. 

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 222; Avg Heart Rate: 94.


WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Back and Belly

I like this workout because it's relatively short and done at more of a relaxed pace. I used the pullup assist on all the pullup moves and did eight reps each. I did 30 reps of each of the ab moves. No problems with those, except for the V-up Rollups, which were slightly ugly. I still got tired on a few of the pullups, but overall they went OK.

Start Time: 8:55 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 195; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


THURSDAY, JULY 20, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

My balance was really bad, so it was a bit frustrating, as usual. 

Start Time: 8:55 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 224; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


FRIDAY, JULY 21, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 100/30/20

The "100" is jump ropes. The last time I did this workout I could do them. Now I can't. I pulled out the rope before the workout, just to make sure there wasn't some kind of magic that would allow me to do them, but there wasn't. Instead, I did some random cardio moves (Heisman, A-Skips) while he was jumping rope, so I got some cardio in. I was OK on the ab and pushup moves, so it was still a good workout. I like it.

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 268; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Confusion: Mason's Choice

This used to be one of my two or three favorite workouts in my library because of the setup and the fact he's in such a good move. However, today was a bit of a bummer because I kept losing my balance and couldn't go all out. I'll do the best I can with it in the future.

Start Time: 9:25 pm; Workout Time: 43 minutes; Calories Burned: 269; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


SUNDAY, JULY 23, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

Same as usual. I like it. Had problems with the second set of Banana Boats. I can feel the bit of tightness in my abs.

Start Time: 9:20 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 110; Avg Heart Rate: 87.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 160.4 (+0.8 lbs)
Body Fat: 14.0%  (+0.2%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

The workouts went well. I'm really enjoying this.

WEEK OF 07/10/2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 6 - WEEK 5

MONDAY, JULY 10, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Ball Sandwich 

This was a bit of an eye opener, as I haven't done any real stability ball exercises in a few years. The decline stability ball pushups were really bad, as I couldn't control the ball. I think I only got in about eight pushups with it on the first round, and I was barely bending my arms and not going very deep. On the second round I fell of the ball and smashed my arm after only two reps. I tried finishing the move with my feet on the floor, but even that was shaky. I did all pullups with the pullup assist. Those were OK. Overall. my attitude was good, but my performance was lacking.

Start Time: 8:55 pm; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 302; Avg Heart Rate: 112.


TUESDAY, JULY 11, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Butt and Belly

I remembered that this was one of my favorites. For some reason I thought we only had to do the 8 Card Pickup once, but this was a repeat workout, so I had the thrill of doing it twice. I got through everything OK, but had to hold onto a chair for the Back Kicks and Warrior Run, as I have no balance, especially on one foot. Good workout.

Start Time: 9:35 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 302; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

Lifting weights while balancing on one leg. I physically can't balance on one leg anymore. It's just where I am, so I deal with it and do the best I can. I used 15 lb weights on all the moves and did 12 reps of each. I had to tap my foot of the floor between each rep, but tried to lift my foot off the floor a bit while actually doing the rep. I don't know how effective it was for my core, but I tried.

Start Time: 9:15 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 225; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


THURSDAY, JULY 13, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience "Hummingbird" Yoga

Not horrible, but not too good, either. My attitude was OK, probably because it was a shorter yoga workout, but my balance was horrible, which made for a less than great experience. It is what it is. I did what I could.

Start Time: 9:30 pm; Workout Time: 37 minutes; Calories Burned: 222; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


FRIDAY, JULY 14, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 10 Minute Crusher Pack

I was feeling very sluggish going into this. I was sluggish throughout. It goes so quickly, it's hard to keep up.

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 34 minutes; Calories Burned: 213; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


SATURDAY, JULY 15, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Intervals

My feet were swollen and my balance was bad. There was so much I used to take for granted that I can't do anymore. It really hit me. I did what I could.

Start Time: 8:10 pm; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 287; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


SUNDAY, JULY 16, 2013 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

This is one of my favorite workouts. It's long for an ab workout, but the time goes fast. The only time I was in  trouble was the second set of Banana Boats. Tony was having trouble with that set also.

Start Time: 8:40 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 144; Avg Heart Rate: 93.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 159.7 (+1.4 lbs)
Body Fat: 13.7% (+0.3%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

Overall, I thought it went OK. I struggled with the last three days, but that was mostly because of physical limitations and balance.

WEDNESDAY - JULY 5, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

I usually don't mind this one, but for some reason I just was putting it off. I finally got it done later than usual, and did OK with with. I increased my declined Pike Press reps to improve over the last time I did it. For some reason, my Average Heart Rate was really high.

THURSDAY - JULY 6, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

Start Time: 9:05 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 287; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


FRIDAY - JULY 7, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

I didn't feel anything special beforehand, but once I got started I felt great. I did 50 pushups on the first set. Only did 30 last time. I subbed in Wide Pushups for the Plyo Skippers, which I can't do, and I did 50 of the Wide's. I still had problems with most of the leg exercises because I can't get off the floor too well, but I did Ok with those, I also felt really good on the "middle" exercises,

SATURDAY - JULY 8, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Medicine Ball Core Cardio

Both are pretty big drops. Normally I don't feel the difference, but this week I did. I feel better. 


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

This was the end of the first month, and Volume 1. I absolutely loved it. I feel these workouts are more effective than any other program I've ever done. The weight loss and body fat% drops were also inspiring, mostly because I do feel the difference.
