WEEK OF 07/14/2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 8 - WEEK 8

MONDAY - JULY 14, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Upper Body Balance

I went a lot faster than he did, finishing up with about 20 minutes left on the video. I increased my reps on a few moves, but decreased it on one (Side Arm Balances) because I felt unstable and thought it was wise not to push myself on that one move. I got five Impossible Pushups in. I'm finding a small trick to make them do-able. I'm balancing on the back stability ball with my ankles instead on me feet. It's not exactly the way it was designed, but the ball rolls less and I can concentrate on the pushup on the front ball. Better than doing none.

Start Time: 7:10 pm; Workout Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 326; Avg Heart Rate:109.

TUESDAY - JULY 15, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg For Legs

Not my favorite workout because I can't get out of it what the workout was intended for. Balance. I held onto a chair for many of the moves so I could at least get some range of motion. Near the end I couldn't even reach to the floor, even while holding onto a chair, because my legs were so fried.

Start Time: 7:35; Workout Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 191; Avg Heart Rate: 91.

WEDNESDAY - JULY 16, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Back and Belly

Nothing exceptional, but the workout went well. I did Band Pulldowns instead of Pullups. 

Start Time: 7:00; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 196; Avg Heart Rate: 101.

THURSDAY - JULY 17, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

Pretty much the same as last time. I'd tried some new socks last week that I had hope for, but took them off mid routine today because they weren't working out. I'm getting frustrated with yoga and am not looking forward to next month's marathon sessions.

Start Time: 7:35; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 134; Avg Heart Rate: 93.

FRIDAY - JULY 18, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 100/30/20

Once again, I did 10 Burpees instead of the 100 Jump Ropes. Those get me winded am I'm sure also get my heart rate up. I don't like Burpees, but force myself to do them here as sort of a challenge to myself. 

Start Time: 8:00; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 289; Avg Heart Rate: 110.

SATURDAY - JULY 19, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Confusion: Mason's Choice

This used to be my favorite workout for years, but I've had a hard time doing it ever since I started having problems with my feet and legs in 2021. Today I tried doing it in my sock, without workout shoes. I felt a lot lighter on my feet and was able to do a lot more and go harder than with the shoes. I don't know if it was just in my mind, but it certainly worked mentally. I might start liking this one again.

Start Time: 4:55; Workout Time: 43 minutes; Calories Burned: 280; Avg Heart Rate: 109.

SUNDAY - JULY 20, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

Got it done. Liked it, as usual.

Start Time: 8:15; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 157; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


SUNDAY WEIGN IN

Weight: 169.0 (+2.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.0 (+0.4%)

Not sure what caused this,but I'll keep an eye on things.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

This is the end of Volume 2 for the round. I like most of the workouts because they're different and a bit shorter. I'm not feeling as exhausted as I usually do eight weeks into a round, but I am feeling a good sore.
