WEEK OF FEBRUARY 24, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 7 - WEEK 5

MONDAY - FEBRUARY 24, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Ball Sandwich

I did OK. I had to modify several moves. On the "pullup" moves I used a band pulldown and kind of mimicked the move. It was different than what he was doing, but it was still an exercise that required some effort.

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 187; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 25, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Butt and Belly

I got all the reps in. I went a bit faster on the second round, because I wanted to make sure I got the 8 Card Pickups done, which I did. 

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 336; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 26, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps while standing on one leg. I have nerve damage in my feet (neuropathy), so I can't balance, so I have issues trying to do this workout as intended. I tried putting one foot on a medicine ball, but that started rolling, so that didn't work. I ended up  doing most of the workout with both feet on the floor with maybe my heel raised a bit on one leg. I did what I could. I'd usually done this workout in the past with 15 lb dumbbells, but today I used 20's with no problems. So, it wasn't perfect, but I did get some kind of a workout in. 

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 217; Avg Heart Rate: 112.


THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 27, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird Yoga

Really not good. Totally uncoordinated and not flexible at all. I did what I could. Luckily it is a shorter workout.

Start Time: 7:55 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 140; Avg Heart Rate: 94.


FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 28, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Ten Minute Crusher Pack

This is basically three Ten Minute Trainer type workouts. You are pretty much moving the entire time. I had problems holding on to the pullup bar for the hanging core moves. I got six very, very ugly reps in on those. The floor ab moves went OK. My balance was bad on most of the leg moves. I did some Kenpo moves instead of the random shadow boxing moves. Obviously no real jump roping, but I  mimed it. 

Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 197; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


SATURDAY - MARCH 1, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Intervals

I can't move my feet real fast, because every time I hit the floor after moving them, it takes me a bit, sometimes just a split second, to readjust my balance. This really slows me down. I did feel it, though. 

Start Time: 5:40 pm; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 258; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


SUNDAY - MARCH 2, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

Probably my favorite ab routine, It's one of the longest, but I like the moves and the pace.

Start Time: 6:00 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 154; Avg Heart Rate: 97.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 174.4 (-1.0 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.0% (no change)

A small step in the right direction.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

These workouts seem to be a bit easier than the first month. However, they can be trickier. I'm encoraged a bit by the small wight loss. I just have to concentrate and keep it going.

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 17, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 7 - WEEK 4

MONDAY - FEBRUARY 17, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Recovery 4 Results

I'm starting to get the gist of this one, and I like it. The pacing was good and I didn't tire myself out because I knew what I was doing.

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 187; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 18, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Bun Shaper

Overall, I like this routine. The 8 Card Pickup is a bit of a challenge, but I always get it done. I usually start that move immediately after the previous one ends, because I can't go nearly as fast as he does. I did OK today.

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 336; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 19, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

A bit of a shorter routine. I did pretty good on it today. On the last round I used 25's on the Deep Swimmer's presses and 20's on the "Y" Presses, which can be a test for me.

Start Time: 7:20 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 221; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 20, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain Of Youth Yoga

Pretty good. I just took things one move at a time instead of thinking how many moves I had to go until I was done, which I have a tendency to do a lot.

Start Time: 7:40 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 234; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 21, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

Much like Road Warrior from last week, I'm starting to pick up the sequences better, going slower,  and appreciating things more, I increased my reps on a few moves from last week. It was a good workout.

Start Time: 8:35 pm; Workout Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 361; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 22, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Medicine Ball Core Cardio

Better than last time, but still a bit clunky because I can't move are on my feet too quickly. I did what I could with the feet movement, but probably could have compensated by going a bit lower and possibly touching the floor on a few moves.

Start Time: 4:50 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 235; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


SUNDAY - FEBRUARY 23, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

One again, I did the moves off the worksheet instead of using the video. I did the harder Ab Ripper X moves first, them finished up with the easier Ab Ripper moves.

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 20 minutes; Calories Burned: 117; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 175.4 (+1.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.0% (+0.1%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

The workout went well, but I'm still concerned with the consistent weight gains. This was the end of the first month and the Volume One series. Good workouts. I did good.

Monday, February 10, 2025

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 10, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 7 - WEEK 3

MONDAY - FEBRUARY 10, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30-15

My numbers were 32 pushups and 16 pullups, which I did band pulldowns instead. I also did 16 bonus pushups and 8 bonus pulldowns, which took me to 400 total pushups and 200 band pulldowns. A good workout. I like this one.

Start Time: 7:00 pm; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 371; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 11, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs

I took it one move at a time and got through it OK. I had problems with some of the jumping moves, especially the switches, but I did what I could. I also didn't go real low on some of the moves where I was supposed to touch the floor and explode up, because I would lose my balance easily. I reached for the floor on those moves, but tried to keep my butt down.

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 63 minutes; Calories Burned: 433; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 12, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Rest

No heat in the house when I got home from work, as the furnace wasn't working. I was scheduled to do Just Arms, but when my hands are cold, which they were, my grip strength is almost non existent, so I didn't think working with weights would have been safe. I was going to do Road Warrior instead, which uses bands, but I decided to spend the evening buying space heaters and trying to stay warm.


THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 13, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

Not great. I wasn't feeling really good. I came out of a lot of poses early because I just didn't have the mindset today to push through.

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 238; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 14, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior

I'm getting better with the bands, precisely better at where to step on them. This allows me to get into the move quicker and do the amount of reps I want. This ended up being a pretty good workout that had me tired and sweating a bit. I can still get better with the bands, but it was a good leap forward.

Start Time:7:20 pm; Workout Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 357; Avg Heart Rate: 113.


SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 15, 2025 - 1) TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Super Cardio

Not my favorite for some reason. It seems simple, but it does tire me out. I modified a few of the spin moves because I lose my balance. As usual, not a great effort on this one.

Start Time:5:00 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 284; Avg Heart Rate: 107.


   2) TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior

Second workout of the day. This was a makeup from Wednesday's missed one. I only waited about 30 minutes after finishing the first workout before I started it. I've done two workouts in a day a few times over the years, but never this close together. Things went OK. I went faster than they did on the video because I wanted to get it done. I didn't sacrifice my effort though.

Start Time:6:20 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 349; Avg Heart Rate: 122.


SUNDAY - FEBRUARY 16, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - KillerAbs

I was watching the NBA All Star game, so I did this one off of the worksheets instead on the DVD. I did most of the harder Ab Ripper X moves befor the easier Ab Ripper moves, but finished with the Mason Twists, It seemed to work out well, as I wasn't as tired for the "X" moves. I even did the V-up Rollups OK.

Start Time:9:35 pm; Workout Time: 21 minutes; Calories Burned: 103; Avg Heart Rate: 98.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 173.8 (-0,2 lbs)
Body Fat 16.9% (-0.1%)

Baby Steps.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

A bit disjointed with the missed day, but I recovered and got through everything OK. I'd say it was a solid week.

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 3, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 7 - WEEK 2

MONDAY - FEBRUARY 3, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Recovery 4 Results

As the name states, this is a recovery workout. You aren't beating your body up. Some stretching and some light cardio and light weight resistance moves. You can work up a mild sweat, though, which I did. While I like recovery workouts, I'm not sure about this one because there are some resistance moves where you are working. That mix has me feeling mixed in general.

Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 222; Avg Heart Rate: 107.


TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 4, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Bun Shaper

This is one of my One On One favorites. It doesn't look real hard, but you can definitely feel it, specially during and after the 8 Card Pickups, in which there are 64 squats. And then you repeat it later. I did pretty good.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 295; Avg Heart Rate: 107.


WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 5, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

Shoulders. 3 moves per set, then repeat. 18 moves total, so it's a bit short, but it really doesn't need to be longer. I was having a hard time with 25's on the Military Presses at the start. The first time I did them seated, then stood up the second time, which seemed a bit easier, but I still struggled. I'd been using 30's for Military Presses lately. Guess those four weeks off made a difference. On the third round, I decided to use only 20's on the Arnold Presses on the first go, but went to 25's on the repeat because the 20's felt light. On the Upright Rows to Y-Press I used 15's on the first set, then increased to 20's on the second set, again because the first set felt too easy. I can already tell I'm going to feel this for the next few days.

Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 205; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 6, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

Certainly better than last week. My balance was a bit better, but certainly not good, and my flexibility was better.  

Start Time: 8:10 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 229; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 7, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

I pushed myself a bit where I could. It ended up being a pretty good workout. I went a bit faster than they did by going off my worksheets and limiting the down time between moves, which worked out OK. I modified a few moves, doing Wide Pushups instead of the Plyo Skippers, and Mary Katherine Lunges instead of the Jump Knee Tucks, which I simply can't do anymore.

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 310; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 8, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Medicine Ball Core Cardio

Simply not a good workout. I was having problems doing some moves because of my bad balance and inability to get off the floor. However, I did what I could. I used an 8 lb medicine ball for most of the moves. I tried a 5 lb dumbbell on one move, but it didn't seem right.

Start Time: 6:30 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 227; Avg Heart Rate: 112.


SUNDAY - FEBRUARY 9, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

I almost forgot to do the workout, and started it very late. It went OK, but I'm finding I can't do the V-up Roll Ups. They hury my back, so I did them with limited range.

Start Time: 10:15 pm; Workout Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 135; Avg Heart Rate: 104.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 174.0 (+0.8 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.0% (no change)

Both are ridiculously bad numbers.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

The weight increases are an issue. Need to put a stop to that. The workouts went well for the most part.
