MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Chest, Back, and Balls
I turned 66 today. I've had a few health issues the past few years. In early 2021 I found out I was diabetic, which I seem to have under control, and during some testing also found out I have a hereditary disease call Charcot Marie Tooth ("CMT"), which is a form of neuropathy. I can't feel my feet. Doctors don't know if it's from the diabetes or from the CMT. It really doesn't matter. It's there. I can't jump straight up or spring off my feet at all. One day I could do things, it seemed like a few weeks later I couldn't. I just deal with it. Some of the Plyo and Cardio workouts, which I had always taken from granted, are now almost impossible, so I do the best I can, and find ways to modify. It can get frustrating at times, but I don't feel sorry for myself. I don't think I've posted any of that stuff here before.
Now that that is out of the way, today's workout went pretty well. I hadn't been able to do Four Ball Pushups on any of the workouts, but today I was able to get in 20. I was also able to get 12 of the Three Ball Side to Side Plyo Pushups, whereas before I could hardly do any. The one downfall was that I wasn't able to get in any of the "Possible" Pushups. I just couldn't get into it and decided not to force it and possibly hurt myself. I did all pullups with the pullup assist, and did eight on most sets. The week off really had me refreshed. I hadn't charged my heart monitor watch, so I don't have those numbers.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyocide
I did what I could. A lot of modifying, as I can't get off my feet. But I didn't skip it!
Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 356; Avg Heart Rate: 99.
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Rest
Once again, I wasn't feeling well and didn't have the strength to do a workout
THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
I still wasn't feeling great, but knew I really needed to get back at it. This one is just long and tedious. I got through it with a lot of modifications. My heart rate and calories burned were a lot higher than usual for this routine. Not sure why, unless I was working harder because I'm still feeling a bit weak.
Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 524; Avg Heart Rate: 115.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Base and Back
8 pullups on each set with the pullup assist, and poor effort on the plyo moves. Even though I can't really get off the ground anymore, I wasn't reaching to the floor on a lot of the moves like he was. I was still gassed at the end though.
Start Time: 8:05 pm; Workout Time: 51 minutes; Calories Burned: 275; Avg Heart Rate: 103.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Total Body X
This is a shorter workout. One of Tony's UCML's (Upper/Cardio/Middle/Lower). There are a few tough moves, but the rest are OK. I got through it all right.
Start Time: 8:20 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 343; Avg Heart Rate: 118.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Shoulders and Arms: MC2 and ARX2
Shoulders and Arms: MC2
This was a makeup from Wednesday's missed workout. I'd thought about skipping it entirely, but knew deep inside that I didn't really want to. The problem was that I didn't know when I was going to be able to make it up, as one workout a day was wearing on me, let alone two. I have a fantasy football draft late morning today. I woke up early, felt good, and got it done. I'm so glad I did. I feel great afterwards. I used the same weights and reps I did last week, except I didn't do the first set of Crazy 8's with 20's. I stuck to the 15's I finished up last week with. I also increased my weight from 30 to 40 on the Stability Ball Overhead Tricep Extensions with no problem. I'll get in ARX2 later tonight, and I'll be caught up..
Start Time: 8:00 am; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 431; Avg Heart Rate: 115.
ARX2
It was tiring because it's long, but I did OK. My form wasn't always perfect, but I don't think I modified anything..
Start Time: 8:45 pm; Workout Time: 45 minutes; Calories Burned: 198; Avg Heart Rate: 95.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 153.0 (-2.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 12.4% (-0.1)
I'm starting to get a little concerned abut the weight drop. I wasn't feeling good earlier in the week nd didn't feel like eating for a few days, so that might have had something to do with it, but I'm still going to keep an eye on things.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
These Volume Three workouts are long and tough. They're wearing me out a bit and aren't things I can get through if I'm feeling a bit weak. That's one reason I took last week off and also this Wednesday. However, I do feel abit stronger. I'm just going to do my best and push through.
