WEEK OF 12/02/2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - ROUND 6 - WEEK 10

MONDAY - DECEMBER 2, 2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - Triple Trouble Challenge

Probably my favorite legitimate workout. I did 32 pushups and 16 band pulldowns each set. That works for me.

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 70 minutes; Calories Burned: 302; Avg Heart Rate: 99.



TUESDAY - DECEMBER 3, 2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - Flash Card Plyo

I was feeling pretty good. I wanted to do things I haven't been able to do lately, like jumping, but my body said no. I'll keep believing it'll happen someday, somehow,

Start Time: 6:50 pm; Workout Time: 43 minutes; Calories Burned: 204; Avg Heart Rate: 95.



WEDNESDAY - DECEMBER 4, 2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - Shoulders and Arms Recharge

I usually push myself on this one. The only thing I backed down on was using 25s on the Swimmers Presses. I tried that for one set last time, but it didn't work. I used 20s today. I did increase my weight on the Arc Rows from 15s to 20s. I was able to do them, but they weren't pretty. I think those will be OK with the higher weight. I used 30s on the Military Presses and Bicep Curls. 12 reps on almost all moves.

Start Time: 8:25 pm; Workout Time: 40 minutes; Calories Burned: 282; Avg Heart Rate: 118.


THURSDAY - DECEMBER 5, 2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - Don't Skip Yoga

In my never ending quest to find good footwear for a yoga workout, I went back to trying an old pair of very light Xero shoes. I'd tried them before, but found they gripped too much on my vinyasas. Still the cast. I feel like I might pull something when moving my leg from to front of the mat back to plank. It was also difficult to re-set my foot while standing in a Warrior position. Other than that, they worked good. No slipping out of them or twisting, which is the problem with socks. The workout went OK.

Start Time: 7:40 pm; Workout Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 305; Avg Heart Rate: 99.


FRIDAY - DECEMBER 6, 2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - Primal Flow

This is probably my least favorite of all the Power of 4 workouts because I can't do a lot of the moves well. I just tolerate it, but get it done. Today, I slowed things down a bit, and it went a bit better than usual, at least mentally. I didn't feel as flustered and frustrated, I still don't like it, but it's a bit of a light for the future.

Start Time: 8:30 pm; Workout Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 333; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


SATURDAY - DECEMBER 7, 2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - Attack and Defend

I thought I'd try and older pair of Xero shoes to see if they had better balance. They didn't. I'm not sure it it was the shoes or if it was just one of those bad balance days, but it wasn't my best workout.

Start Time: 6:40 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 274; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


SUNDAY - DECEMBER 8, 2024 - THE POWER OF 4 - The Power of Core

I went faster than they dis and dis some moves out of order because I just wanted to get this done. A lot of these moves aren't my favorites.

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 23 minutes; Calories Burned: 118; Avg Heart Rate: 104.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 171.2 (+1.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.5% (-0.2%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK


Not too many thoughts. Need to watch the eating.
