MONDAY - APRIL 21, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth

I felt pretty good throughout, but there was a few times where I getting tired of all the vinyasas.

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 254; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


TUESDAY - APRIL 22, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

This is supposed to be slow and relaxing, and I did it that way. 

Start Time: 7:00 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 170; Avg Heart Rate: 99.


WEDNESDAY - APRIL 23, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2

Not my favorite yoga routine. I'm also doing it tomorrow so I can get it out of the way. Today's version was OK. I was patient and just took it one move at a time, instead of fighting it

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 254; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


THURSDAY - APRIL 24, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2

Back to back on this one. Not as good as yesterday's effort. I was more impatient today because I just wanted to get it over with. It's just too long and repetitive, It almost seems like a Tony ego trip and he's dragging us along with him. Five shoulder stretched. I think there was that many Half Moon's also. Much of it just felt unnecessary.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 366; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


FRIDAY - APRIL 25, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

This is the shortest of the three and also the simplest. It was welcomed today. I was a bit more patient today and got through it OK.

Start Time: 8:25 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 173; Avg Heart Rate: 98.


SATURDAY - APRIL 26, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth

Last workout of the round. I picked this one to both start and end the week because it seems to be a good mix of easy and harder moves and the time seems reasonable. I did get interrupted half way through with a couple of long phone calls, but I finished up OK. My concentration wasn't always there, but I've had worse yoga days. It was a goo way to finish up, and I'm satisfied with it. 

Start Time: 2:45 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 271; Avg Heart Rate: 104.


SUNDAY - APRIL 27, 2025 - Rest


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight:173.2 (-1.1 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.9% (-0.3%)



THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

The six days of yoga really is a good way to finish. I'm still not a fan of the MC2 one, but I got through both days of it.


THOUGHTS ON THE ROUND

Once again, I liked it a lot. It's not easy, which is one of the reasons I do like it. There is also a lot of variety, so I don't get bored. There are a few workouts I like less than the others, but I get the reasoning behind them. Overall, I gained 0.4 lbs and 0.1% body fat over the 13 weeks, so obviously that wasn't the main takeaway from this round. Keeping in shape and increasing mu numbers a bit was.

WEEK OF APRIL 14, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 7 - WEEK 12

MONDAY - APRIL 14, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - UBX

Again, this can be a tough workout. I pretty much did what I did last time. I was really sweating by the end, and I know I'm going to feel it later. The only thing I tried to increase was going from 15's to 20's on the second set of the Scarecrow Presses. It may have been a bit too much for today. I had a problem controlling the weight, especially when I was bringing my arms together. I also increased my reps from last time on the 4 Ball Pike Presses, going from 6 to 10 reps on the first set. Went back to 6 on the second set.

Start Time: 6:20 pm; Workout Time: 60 minutes; Calories Burned: 396; Avg Heart Rate: 114.


TUESDAY - APRIL 15, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Synergistics: MC2

I'm not even going to pretend I did good on this. I modified, or did less range of motion, on almost every single moves. It's just the way things are. I did work up a sweat, so I was working. It just wasn't pretty.

Start Time: 6:55 pm; Workout Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 335; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


WEDNESDAY - APRIL 16, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - V Sculpt

Pretty good workout. I certainly didn't cheat myself. I did Band Pulldowns instead of Pullups. I increased my go to weight on the bicep moves from 20's to 25's. I started the Strip Set with 30's. No real problems. I like the band moves a lot.

Start Time: 7:20 pm; Workout Time: 56 minutes; Calories Burned: 306; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


THURSDAY - APRIL 17, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - YOGA: MC2

Pretty much what I've been doing with this routine the last few times. I just do what I can.

Start Time: 7:30 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 347; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


FRIDAY - APRIL 18, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - P.A.P.

This went OK. I did most of the warmup, only skipping the second round of the "heated moves". I used 20's on the Front to Back Lunges and 25's on the Pushup Lat Rows. I did have to modify a few of the other moves, but overall I think I accomplished most of what was supposed to be accomplished.

Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 367; Avg Heart Rate: 102.


SATURDAY - APRIL 19, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Stretch and Recovery

This is a very long workout and I have a tendency to look towards the end and not concentrate on the individual stretches. On most of the stretches you are holding them for longer periods of time and I don't always have the patience to relax into the stretch and get the benefit of it. It's more like "what's next?". Today was like that on a lot of the stretches. During the legs section, which seems extra, extra long, I subbed in a few stretches on my own because I was bored with what he was doing. Probably not the best thing, but it is what is is, at least for today.

Start Time: 6:25 pm; Workout Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 246; Avg Heart Rate: 95.


SUNDAY - APRIL 20, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ARX2

Pretty much the same as the last few weeks. I was a bit ahead of them and messed up one of the moves, but nothing major. Decent workout.

Start Time: 6:35 pm; Workout Time: 45 minutes; Calories Burned: 230; Avg Heart Rate: 101.



SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 174.4 (-0.6 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.2% (+0.2%)



THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I'm feeling pretty good. This was the last week of the "strength" workouts. I'm sore a lot, but it's a good sore and means I'm working hard. I'm also not getting mentally burned out. All that's left is a week of yoga.

WEEK OF APRIL 7, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 7 - WEEK 11

MONDAY - APRIL 7, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Chest, Back, and Balls

Today I did Band Pulldowns on the pullup moves. 16 reps each. Two weeks ago I used the pullup assist at 12 reps each. I just feel I'm engaging my back more with the band. I did what I could with the ball pushups. On The "Possible's" and Three Ball Military's I had the stability ball behind me, but wedged it up against the couch so it wouldn't roll so much. I was able to keep my feet on it and got in 6 and 16 reps respectively. I went much faster than they did on the video and finished 6 or 7 moves ahead of them, without cheating. I feel good about the workout.

Start Time: 6:40 pm; Workout Time: 60 minutes; Calories Burned: 347; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


TUESDAY - APRIL 8, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyocide

I do what I can on this workout because I can't jump straight up, and a lot of the moves here require that. It went OK, but was a bit disjointed because I had to stop a few times for phone calls. It wasn't a bad workout. It just ended up being what it was.

Start Time: 6:30 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 355; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


WEDNESDAY - APRIL 9, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Shoulders and Arms: MC2

Pretty good. Same weights as last time, but I'm not sure where I could have increased them without bad form. 

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 376; Avg Heart Rate: 113.


THURSDAY - APRIL 10, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2

I started earlier than usual because I wanted to watch the Sabres game. I got in almost all of the moves. Nothing exciting to report. I just got it done.

Start Time: 5:45 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 422; Avg Heart Rate: 120.


FRIDAY - APRIL 11, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Base and Back

Lame, almost by design. I'm tired and a bit sore. I just didn't feel like killing myself today. The Band Pulldowns (done instead of pullups) went well. I concentrated on engaging my back muscles on each rep. However, on the plyo moves, I didn't go deep. I knew it, and didn't really seem to feel guilty. I work hard on most days, just not today.

Start Time: 8:10 pm; Workout Time: 51 minutes; Calories Burned: 228; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


SATURDAY - APRIL 12, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Total Body X

This is a shorter workout. 16 moves. Upper, Cardio, Middle, Lower. There are a few moves that are tiring, but nothing extremely bad. I did pretty good.

Start Time: 5:35 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 262; Avg Heart Rate: 109.


SUNDAY - APRIL 13, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - X2 Ab Ripper

I know the moves, so I went faster than he did on the video, then relaxed on the mat while he finished up. Everything went OK. 20 reps of each move.

Start Time: 4:00 pm; Workout Time: 45 minutes; Calories Burned: 217; Avg Heart Rate: 99.



SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 175.0 (+1.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.0% (-0.2%)



THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

These volume three workouts are long and tough, but I'm getting through them OK. I had to modify in spots, but that's OK. I'm starting to tire a bit, staying sore a bit longer, but maybe that just means I'm working harder. I'm definitely feeling a bit stronger.
