WEEK OF 08/11/2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 8 - WEEK 12

MONDAY - AUGUST 11, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - UBX

Pretty good. Not much else to say. I started the Shoulder Presses with 30's. 

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 60 minutes; Calories Burned: 396; Avg Heart Rate:113.


TUESDAY - AUGUST 12, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Synergistics: MC2

I decided beforehand that I was going to modify where I could. It worked well and I actually got done more than I usually do. 

Start Time: 7:20 pm; Workout Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 332; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


WEDNESDAY - AUGUST 13, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - V-Sculpt

I like this one because there are a few moves that use resistance bands. They seem to be effective. I started the Strip Sets with 30's and increased the one arm concentration curls to 30's. Both went OK.

Start Time: 8:05 pm; Workout Time: 56 minutes; Calories Burned: 297; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


THURSDAY - AUGUST 14, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2

Instead of whipping myself into a pissed off frenzy, I replaced some of the redundant moves with things I felt were more relaxing. I've been seeing a lot of videos lately about a program that emphasizes mobility, especially in the hips, so instead to doing all the extra shoulder stretches, I got into a low squat and pushed my knees out with my elbows. I got in a few extra Child Poses, and did a bit of a Shavasana near the end. It didn't calm me down a lot, but did a bit.

Start Time: 8:05 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 232; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


FRIDAY - AUGUST 15, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - P.A.P.

Long day. I got started a bit later than usual, but I wanted to just relax and watch a WNBA game, so I did the workout without the video, and I only did the two complexes. I skipped the long warmup and cooldown. I feel I still got a good workout in, though. I really, really struggle with the Front to Back Lunges because my balance is so horrible. I did what I could, and used 20lb weights. I used 25's on the Pushup Rows. I modified of few of the other moves. 

Start Time: 8:25 pm; Workout Time: 31 minutes; Calories Burned: 208; Avg Heart Rate: 111.


SATURDAY - AUGUST 16, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Stretch and Recovery

I was very sore and not very flexible going into it, especially in my legs. Early on, I ditched what he was doing and instead did what I felt I needed. I did a few leg stretches. did some foam rolling on my legs, relaxed in Child Pose a few times, did Frog Squat and Frog, and did some other stretches he usually doesn't do in this program. At the end I felt very good, and more importantly, very mentally relaxed. Much needed. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to go off the beaten path and do what YOU need.

Start Time: 7:30 pm; Workout Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 152; Avg Heart Rate: 85.


SUNDAY - AUGUST 17, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ARX2

I did it off the worksheets again, with no video, doing the moves I don't like (Superman Banana, The Buddhist) at the beginning and sort of working backwards. It went pretty good.

Start Time: 8:55 pm; Workout Time: 31 minutes; Calories Burned: 152; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 165.2 (+0.8 lbs)
Body Fat: 15.4% (-0.1%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

This was the end of month three and the "strength" workouts for the round. I feel strong and a bit thicker in my upper body. I'm pleased. I'm also sore as hell, but that's OK.
