Back at it after a month off. Some health issues have cropped up, mostly from my Charcot Marie-Tooth disease that I have that causes some loss of muscle and neuropathy in my feet and hands. About a week after my last round ended, I started having problems driving because of my feet. It's a pain in the ass, but I'm looking for alternatives. I'm also trying to hold things off the the rigorous exercising, so I'm keeping a positive outlook. Except for some cardio routines where I have to move my feet quickly, and any balance moves, I'm doing OK with the workouts. Starting Weight is 170.8 and starting Body Fat is 16.7.
MONDAY - MAY 26, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30-15
I did 32 pushups and 16 Band Pulldowns on each set. I really can't do standard pullups anymore, and even those with the pullup assist are with bad form, so I've been doing Band Pulldown instead. I wrap a resistance band around the pullup bar, sit directly underneath it and pull down. I make sure I engage my back muscles on each rep. It seems to work. Certainly better than trying to do something I can't do with bad form. I did a few "bonus" pushups and pull downs at the end to get to an even 400 and 200 respectively. I did tire a bit on the pushups near near the end.

TUESDAY - MAY 27, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs
My legs were a bit tired going into it, so I was wondering how I was going to get through it, but I did. I just took it one move at a time, and modified a lot when I needed to. Overall, it wasn't bad, maybe a bit better than what I was expecting.
Start Time: 6:30 pm; Workout Time: 64 minutes; Calories Burned: 396; Avg Heart Rate: 109.
WEDNEDAY - MAY 28, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Just Arms
I used pretty much the same weights I'd used the last few times I did the workout, maybe increasing it on a move or two. It went well.
Start Time: 6:35 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 289; Avg Heart Rate: 114.
THURSDAY - MAY 29, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth
It was a bit disjointed. I wasn't relaxed and just wanted to get it over with.
Start Time: 6:25 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 195; Avg Heart Rate: 96.
FRIDAY - MAY 30, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior
There was something I wanted to watch on TV, so I did the workout off the worksheets instead of the video. It was a bit nicer because I was going at a better pace, and was able to switch between bands as needed, instead of mostly using the lighter one because I hadn't had time to switch.
Start Time: 7:55 pm; Workout Time: 44 minutes; Calories Burned: 288; Avg Heart Rate: 109.
SATURDAY - MAY 31, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Super Cardio
I modified a few moves because I couldn't jump, but got it done. Nothing special. .

SUNDAY - JUNE 1, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs
Again, I went off the worksheets instead of the video. I did the moves I didn't like first, to get them out of the way, then finished with the easier ones, and finished with 50 Mason Twists, because that's how you finish the original Ab Ripper X.
Start Time: 9:45 pm; Workout Time: 29 minutes; Calories Burned: 124; Avg Heart Rate: 95.
SUNDAY WEIGH IN
Weight: 168.7 (-2.0 lbs)

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
I was generally feeling a little bit tired and weak throughout the week, but got everything done, and don't think I decreased anything from the previous round. I'm working from home for a while, so I'm not ordering out everyday from work. I think that helped the weight loss.
