WEEK OF NOVEMBER 3, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - ROUND 7 - WEEK 5

 MONDAY - NOVEMBER 3, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Push

I lowed down a bit and kept pace with them. Usually I'm a lot faster than the video, just to get it done. It went well. Usual weights.

Start Time: 7:20 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 269; Avg Heart Rate: 105. 

TUESDAY - NOVEMBER 4, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Heart, Lungs, Legs

I'm getting used to this one. I can't say it's my favorite, but I don't hate it like I used to. I got through it OK.

Start Time: 5:25 pm; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 279; Avg Heart Rate: 97.

WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 5, 2025 - Who's Got Your Back?

I like this routine, but today it just felt daunting before I started. I was doing the moves in random order just to get it done and make it feel different. i used the same weights as normal, except on the heavier back moves. I grabbed 30's at the start, then saw I'd used 35's the last few times. I stayed with the 30's. It's OK to dial back.

Start Time: 7:30 pm; Workout Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 297; Avg Heart Rate: 104. 

THURSDAY - NOVEMBER 6, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Morning Yoga

Appreciated this one today. It doesn't have 350 vinyasas.

Start Time: 6:15 pm; Workout Time: 37 minutes; Calories Burned: 84; Avg Heart Rate: 85.

FRIDAY - NOVEMBER 7, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Drop, Pulse and Hold

I do like the moves in this one, but I wish he had restructured it a bit to get it down a few moves. I used a 15 lb dumbbell on most moves. I hold onto a chair when balancing on one leg. Instead on the Lincoln Squats, I just do regular deep squats with heavier weights. I've lost my balance a few times on the Lincoln's and crashed hard to the floor. I figured doing something safer was better.

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 72 minutes; Calories Burned: 342; Avg Heart Rate: 100.

SATURDAY - NOVEMBER 8, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Flash Cardio

I wasn't feeling too well. Upset stomach. I had to take several breaks just to get though it. There was very little intensity. I was just trying to get through it. 

Start Time: 5:00 pm; Workout Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 249; Avg Heart Rate: 101.

SUNDAY - NOVEMBER 9, 2025 - Crunchtown

I normally don't mind this one. It's a lot easier than Power of Core. I was just tired when doing it and just wanted it to be over.

Start Time: 9:30 pm; Workout Time: 21 minutes; Calories Burned: 74; Avg Heart Rate: 89. 

SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 168.4 (-2.0 lbs)

No ice cream this week.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I'm five weeks into the round. It's going fast. I'm not sure what I'm accomplishing. Am I getting fitter, or just maintaining? My guess is maintaining. At my age, can I even get fitter? I'm not eating well, either. That's not helping things.
