WEEK OF MARCH 2, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - ROUND 7 - WEEK 13

MONDAY - MARCH 2, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Cardio 24

Last week of the round. Alternating between Cardio 24 and Pure Stretch all week. Cardio 24 went fine today, but I'm still off balance on a lot of the moves. I just do the best I can.

Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 26 minutes; Calories Burned: 145; Avg Heart Rate: 99.  


TUESDAY - MARCH 3, 2026  - THE POWER OF 4 - Pure Stretch

This was tough. I'm not as limber as much as I used to be. Some of it was actually a bit painful and even frustrating at times. 

Start Time: 6:40 pm; Workout Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 183; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


WEDNESDAY - MARCH 4, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Cardio 24

Not much to say. This one is pretty simple. The toughest moves are the last two, Plank Shoulder and Knee taps, and then Burpees. 

Start Time: 7:10 pm; Workout Time: 26 minutes; Calories Burned: 163; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


THURSDAY - MARCH 5, 2026  - THE POWER OF 4 - Pure Stretch

Much, much better than Tuesday. It was definitely noticeable. Maybe Tuesday had loosened me us a bit

Start Time: 6:40 pm; Workout Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 183; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


FIRDAY - MARCH 6, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Cardio 24

Pretty good. I did the burpee move as the first move to get it out of the way. It seemed to give me a shot of adrenalin early on. 

Start Time: 7:10 pm; Workout Time: 26 minutes; Calories Burned: 163; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


SATURDAY - MARCH 7, 2026  - THE POWER OF 4 - Pure Stretch

Last workout of the round. Roughly the same as Thursday. It seemed to go fast. I looked up and I was 30 minutes in.

Start Time: 6:40 pm; Workout Time: 48 minutes; Calories Burned: 183; Avg Heart Rate: 96.



SUNDAY - MARCH 8, 2026  - Rest



SUNDAY WEIGN IN

Weight: 168.4 (+0.4 lbs)
Body Fat: 15.8% (+0.8%)

The Body Fat % seems like an anomaly, as that is a big increase for one week, and I had been consistently in the low 15's. I had eaten some cherry snack products I'd ordered, so maybe that could have been it. Otherwise, my eating habits hadn't really changed much.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

It was a nice way to finish with just the two workouts. After 12 weeks of beating myself up, it was a good feeling knowing that the workout was going to be a little less intensive.


THOUGHTS FOR THE ROUND

Because of the two month break in between Weeks 8 and 9, it was a bit tough to determine how things went as a whole. I was surprised that I was able to get back into it after those two months as if there was no break at all. Overall, I'd say I was happy with the round. I do know that I do want to incorporate lifting some heavier weights for a few sets during the week in the future, outside of the actual program.

For the round, I lost 0.4 lbs, and my Body Fat staued the same, if I can trust that final number.

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 23, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - ROUND 7 - WEEK 12

MONDAY - FEBRUARY 23, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Chest and Back Round Robin

I wasn't feeling well just before I started and wasn't sure how I would get through it. I ended up doing it off the workout sheets instead of the video to make it a bit faster, and also didn't push myself to better last time.

Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 40 minutes; Calories Burned: 257; Avg Heart Rate: 109.  


TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 24, 2026  - THE POWER OF 4 - Plyo 30/15

It went OK. Tough to guage this one as plyo is tough for me. 

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 221; Avg Heart Rate: 98.


WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 25, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Arms and Abs

I pretty much used the same weights and reps as last time. It was a good workout.

Start Time: 6:40 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 234; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


THURSDAY - FEBRUARY 26, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Power and Strength Yoga

I read my post about the last time I did this workout and could tell I had been extremely frustrated with the length and repetitiveness of it. Today wasn't much better. I tried not to get as frustrated, but there was a few times where I just sat through some moves to keep my sanity. I find it amusing that Tony says at the beginning that all the Yoga workouts are totally different. Morning Yoga is a bit different because it's shorter, but this is very similar to Don't Skip Yoga. 60+ minutes of Vinyasa after Vinyasa after Vinyasa. 

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 210; Avg Heart Rate: 89.


FRIDAY - FEBRUARY 27, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Head To Toe

I do the final moves (burpees) during the warmup to get it out of the way. The rest of the moves aren't that bad, and it seems a lot shorter than 56 minutes.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 56 minutes; Calories Burned: 347; Avg Heart Rate: 107.


SATURDAY - FEBRUARY 28, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Kicking and Punching

I did it without carpet or a mat, and used some sticky socks with no workout shoes. It went pretty good.

Start Time: 5:15 pm; Workout Time: 69 minutes; Calories Burned: 411; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


SUNDAY - MARCH 1, 2026 - THE POWER OF 4 - Body Scan Meditation

I was able to concentrate a bit more on the "light" and body parts today, but it still wasn't perfect. My mind wandered a bit. The benchmark with this routine is still the first time I did it, and I'd felt wonderful. Today I felt good. 

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 24 minutes; Calories Burned: 35; Avg Heart Rate: 77.



SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 168.0 (+0.8 lbs)
Body Fat: 15.0 (-0,2%)



THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

My body is sore and tired, but I'm getting through it.
