WEEK OF DECEMBER 1, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - ROUND 7 - WEEK 9

MONDAY - DECEMBER 1, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Chest and Back Round Robin

Same rotation I'd done the last few times. I increased the weights on the back rows to 35's and I increased the reps on the Band Pulldowns from 16 to 20. This was a good workout.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 57 minutes; Calories Burned: 285; Avg Heart Rate: 102.  


TUESDAY - DECEMBER 2, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Plyo 30/15

My attitude was to go at it hard. My body wasn't cooperating. I was just uncoordinated. I did what I could.

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 220; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


WEDNESDAY - DECEMBER 3, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Arms and Abs

I increased my weights or reps on a lot of moves. I felt the increases on some of them, but got through them with no real loss of form..

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 237; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


THURSDAY - DECEMBER 4, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Power and Strength Yoga

Early on in the workout I noticed my floor fan wasn't working, so I tried to fix it. It took six or seven minutes. I didn't even hit pause while I was doing this, but I cringed every time I heard him say "Chaturanga / Upward Dog / Downward Dog", even though I wasn't doing the move. That's how ridiculous I'm feeling about his hour long yoga workouts anymore. Once I got back into it I skipped a few moves during the "ladder" portion, just because I was fed up. It's a poor way to look at things, but that's where I am with the redundancy. I try to justify all the vinyasas because I respect Tony, but it's just becoming too much. Not so much physically, but more mentally.

Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 291; Avg Heart Rate: 98.


FRIDAY - DECEMBER 5, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Head To Toe

I felt good going into this one. I'm getting new flooring installed in my home next week and had a bunch of junk taken away. Removing all that clutter seemed to clear my mind a bit and lifted a bit of weight off my shoulders, more than I'd expected. Physically, the workout probably went a bit better than usual, but mentally it felt great.

Start Time: 6:45 pm; Workout Time: 56 minutes; Calories Burned: 301; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


SATURDAY - DECEMBER 6, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Kicking and Punching

I never thought this would be an issue, but I was missing my floor fan. I could feel the difference in not having it there  Early on, I was wondering how I was going to get through the workout, but eventually that feeling wore off and I finished it out in good shape. I think I got a decent workout in.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 434; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


SUNDAY - DECEMBER 7, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Body Scan Meditation

For the most part, I stayed awake and concentrated on the body parts, but admit I dozed off briefly here and there/

Start Time: 8:30 pm; Workout Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 38; Avg Heart Rate: 74.



SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 172.2 (+1.4 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.4% (+0.2%)


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

The main thing is that I felt much better after the junk was cleaned out of the house on Friday. I can't believe how much of a mental difference that made. They will be getting the new flooring in over the next two weeks and I feel that will make even a bigger difference. Almost like a fresh start.
