MONDAY - JUNE 15, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Chest, Back, and Balls
A really good workout. I couldn't do exactly what Tony was doing, so it wasn't as hard, but what I did do made me feel encouraged and like I was accomplishing something. I did band pulldowns instead of pullups and I was actually able to get in a few of the Impossible Pushups.Start Time: 7:55 pm; Workout Time: 60 minutes; Calories Burned: 298; Avg Heart Rate: 99.
TUESDAY - JUNE 16, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyocide
Again, I can't always do what Tony was doing on every move, but I did feel it was an above average workout and not just a "go through the motions" waste of time.
Start Time: 6:55 pm; Workout Time: 67 minutes; Calories Burned: 382; Avg Heart Rate: 104.
WEDNESDAY - JUNE 17, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Shoulders and Arms: MC2
Three for three this week, as this was another good workout. I used the same weights as I had been using the last few rounds, but they were heavy enough to make me feel things.
Start Time: 6:50 pm; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 310; Avg Heart Rate: 105.
THURSDAY - JUNE 18, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Yoga: MC2
I had a bit of a revelation last week on this workout with my breathing, so I was a bit excited to see if I could repeat it. It may not have been as good as last week, but it was real close. I'm still excited.
Start Time: 6:55 pm; Workout Time: 66 minutes; Calories Burned: 282; Avg Heart Rate: 96.
FRIDAY - JUNE 12, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Base and Back
I still do Band Pulldowns instead of pullups, but they're more effective for me. 16 Pulldowns done properly are more effective than one try at a pullup done ineffectively. I'm not even sure if band assisted pullups would be better than the pulldowns. As far as the plyo moves go, I was actually getting off the floor again, even though not too high. There were times in the past where I couldn't get off the floor at all. It's still not great, and I don't know how long it will last, because my condition is supposed to be degenerative, but I'm still feeling encouraged.
Start Time: 6:50 pm; Workout Time: 51 minutes; Calories Burned: 237; Avg Heart Rate: 97.
SATURDAY - JUNE 13, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Total Body X
I tried doing two moves during the warmup to get them out of the way (Burpee Frog Squats and Spartan Lunges), but I couldn't get off the floor as well as I had on Tuesday and Friday, but maybe my legs were just tired. After that I settled in and the rest of it went OK. Maybe my worst workout of the week, but it was still pretty decent. It's not really that hard to begin with, but I think it was designed that way.
Start Time: 7:30 pm; Workout Time: 42 minutes; Calories Burned: 215; Avg Heart Rate: 100.
THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
In all honesty, this may have been my most gratifying week in years, and it built off the previous week a bit. It almost took me back to the times before I got sick, which was about five years ago. On all the workouts I felt really good afterwards and was surprised with what I was still able to accomplish.
