MONDAY - APRIL 6, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30/15
It's been four weeks off. I'll admit I'm not bouncing back as fast as I used to. Mentally, I probably could have taken a few weeks off, but I've been feeling a bit physically "blah" so I forced myself to get back into it. I wasn't even sure which program I was going to do until just before I started. I was considering PowerSynch60, but looked through the workouts and realized I didn't really enjoy the workouts as much as the One On Ones. It's become my go-to program. Some other programs are shorter, but I feel like I get good results here, and for the most part, feel the extra time is worth it.So, we start with 30/15. Chest and Back. Back to the first P90Xworkout. My numbers were 32 pushups and 16 Band Pulldowns, which I do instead of Pullups now. I've just lost the ability to physically do a pullup anymore, and the Pulldowns do make me feel it in my back a bit. Overall, it was a solid workout today. I even did a small Bonus set of 16 pushups and 8 Pulldowns to get me to 400 Pullups and 200 Pulldowns.

TUESDAY - APRIL 7, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs
Plyo is tough for me anymore because of my lack of balance. I didn't go fast today, nor did I go very low (touching the floor) on many moves because of the balance issue, but I got a decent workout in and am pretty sure I'll be feeling it in the next few days.

WEDNESDAY - APRIL 8, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Just Arms
I'm glad this was a shorter workout. I was thinking it was going to be an hour, but it was efficient. I don't think I shied away from too much. Twelve reps on most sets. There were a few moves where I wondered if I could have used a heavier weight, but think I played it smart. I did use 25's on a few of the tricep moves, where I'd used 20's the last few times I did it. I'm pleased with what I did.

THURSDAY - APRIL 9, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga
Not real good. Flashes of never ending vinyasas crept in and it put me in a less that great mood. I wasn't too flexible and am still searching for the right footwear. Bare feet is out, as I can't have any cuts on my feet. All the socks I try either twist or slide down my feet when I'm in down dog. That is a lot of frustration right there. If I knew my footwear was sound I might be able to concentrate on the poses a bit more. I also feel like I've lost a lot of flexibility the last few years, and I have no balance because of the nerve damage in my feet. However, I'll keep trying. Totally giving up is really not an option.
Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 194; Avg Heart Rate: 95.
FRIDAY - APRIL 10, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior
This is probably the best I've felt after doing this workout. I'm figuring out which band to use of each exercise and more importantly where to stand on it. It's still nor perfect, but certainly a lot better than when I first started.
Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 361; Avg Heart Rate: 112.
SATURDAY - APRIL 11, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Super Cardio
I wanted to do this in socks because I don't like wearing my workout shoes on my new hardwood floors. They just feel weird. I ended up putting on some shorter socks, then added a pair od knee high compression socks to give myself a little padding. I found out those were making me slide a bit, so I added another pair of sticky socks. The three layers and better traction seemed to work well. I've even try that combo next time yoga comes around to see if that combo works better on those workouts. With more confidence the workout seemed to go well.
Start Time: 6:10 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 256; Avg Heart Rate: 101.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
One reason I like this program is because I know the workouts are going to be tough. I don't mind spending the time on harder workouts. I was sore most of the week, but I felt accomplished.
