WEEK OF MAY 18, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 7

MONDAY - MAY 18, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Ball Sandwich

I did this one without the video and just went off the worksheet. I think the pace went well. I improvised band pulldowns instead of pullups.

WEEK OF MAY 11, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 6

MONDAY - MAY 11, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Upper Body Balance

At some point you have to admit that you can no longer do some exercises. I'm 68 years hold and have severe nerve damage in my feet. There were several moves here that I did minimal reps or modified, simply because I thought I'd hurt myself. I'm stubborn. In the past, if I couldn't get the exercise right away, I'd keep trying as long as he was doing that move. Today, it was, "Nope, not today. It's not worth the risk.". Most of these challenging moves were pushups on a medicine ball, but there were a few V-ups I was having problems with, specifically straining my lower back. I did what I could, but played it smart. I don't know how I'll feel when this workout comes up again in two weeks.

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 313; Avg Heart Rate: 108.

TUESDAY - MAY 12, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg for Legs

I held onto a chair for most of the moves because I can't balance. It did take that element out of it, but it also allowed me to strengthen my legs a bit, so it was useful .

Start Time: 7:10 pm; Workout Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 264; Avg Heart Rate: 103.


WEDNESDAY - MAY 13, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Back and Belly

Did it off the worksheets. No video. Everything went well.

Start Time: 7:30 pm; Workout Time: 30 minutes; Calories Burned: 153; Avg Heart Rate: 99.


THURSDAY - MAY 14, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

Nothing special. It went OK.

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 164; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


FRIDAY - MAY 15, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 100/30/20

No video. I played golf today, for the first time since last September. I got home, laid down to take a nap a bit after 3pm and woke up at 8pm. I think my body was trying to tell me something. My legs were toast and my lower back was feeling a bit strained. I can't jump rope, so the last few times I did this workout, I did 10 burpees instead the 100 jump ropes. Today I just did 100 "fake" jump ropes. The pushups and crunches went fine.

Start Time: 8:25 pm; Workout Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 177; Avg Heart Rate: 100.


SATURDAY - MAY 16, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Confusion: Mason's Choice

It's been a while since I've enjoyed this workout, but today I did.

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 313; Avg Heart Rate: 108.


SUNDAY - MAY 17, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 169.8 (+0.4 lbs)
Body Fat: 15.8% (-0.5%)



THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

For various reasons, I'm finding myself doing a lot of the workouts without the video and instead going off the worksheets. This usually goes a bit faster because of less down time between moves and no running time on the warmup and cooldown.

WEEK OF MAY 4, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 5

MONDAY - MAY 4, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Ball Sandwich

I did band pull down movements instead of the pullups, which seemed to work out OK. The rest of the moves went fine. I went a bit faster than they did. Good workout.

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 286; Avg Heart Rate: 115. 


TUESDAY - MAY 5, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Butt and Belly

One of my favorite workouts. Tony is in a goofy mood and that usually puts me in a good mood and makes the workout more fun. Even those Eight Card Pickup moves weren't bad. Smack it!

Start Time: 7:45 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 274; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


WEDNESDAY - MAY 6 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

I can't totally balance on one leg, so I tried to keep just a toe on the floor to keep myself from toppling. It worked on a lot of the moves. I did 12 reps with 20 lb dumbbells on most moves and it worked well. I think the 20's were heavy enough to be somewhat effective. 

Start Time: 7:35 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 222; Avg Heart Rate: 109. 


THURSDAY - MAY 7, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird (Yoga)

Shorter routine than most of his yoga workouts, and less vinyasas. It went OK. I can't say it was totally relaxing, but his yoga workouts rarely are for me. I wasn't very flexible today, which didn't help things.

Start Time: 7:50 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 153; Avg Heart Rate: 97.


FRIDAY - MAY 8, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 10 Minute Crusher Pack

I modified a lot of moves, In the Core/Ab section, I didn't use the pullup bar. I just a similar move on the floor, on my back. I worked out OK. I can't really do any of the bar moves with any efficiency, so this is better than nothing. On the Shadow Boxing section I did specific Kenpo moves instead of the random boxing moves. I can't jump rope, so I mimed that.

Start Time: 6:10 pm; Workout Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 186; Avg Heart Rate: 103. 


SATURDAY - MAY 9, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Core Cardio Intervals

My balance sucked, I was doing it without a mat on a hardwood floor, and was maybe sliding a bit too much.

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 217; Avg Heart Rate: 101.


SUNDAY - MAY 10, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

I did this off the workout sheet without the video because I wanted to watch a WNBA game. I concentrated on not going too fast, but did get it done quicker than usual because I was skipping the chatter in between the moves. I think it went OK. I did feel it.

Start Time: 7:15 pm; Workout Time: 23 minutes; Calories Burned: 131; Avg Heart Rate: 104. 


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 169.4 (+0,4 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.3% (+0.3%)



THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

Month two / Volume Two is generally shorter, less intensive workouts than month one, but they will still work you. I got through everything OK and am feeling OK, but really, really, really need to work on my nutrition. I can feel it needs to be better.

WEEK OF APRIL 27, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 4

MONDAY - APRIL 27, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Recovery 4 Results

Even though this is a supposed " recovery" workout, you can push yourself a bit and still stay a bit mellow. I did that today and it worked out great.

Start Time: 7:10 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 193; Avg Heart Rate: 100. 


TUESDAY - APRIL 28, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Bun Shaper

I like this workout, except for the Eight Card Pickups. I got one set of those out of the way in the warmup to get it out of the way.

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 282; Avg Heart Rate: 104. 


WEDNESDAY - APRIL 29, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

Short, concise workout. I went a bit faster than he did and finished up about a set ahead of him. All went well and I feel I got a good workout in.

Start Time: 6:15 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 199; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


THURSDAY - APRIL 30, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth

FRIDAY - MAY 1, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

I did this off the worksheet because I wanted to watch something on TV. I got it done pretty quickly without sacrificing anything. 

Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 196; Avg Heart Rate: 106. 


SATURDAY - MAY 2, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Med Ball Core Cardio 

For some reason I was feeling really good for the workout. It seemed to go fast and was probably a bit above average.

Start Time: 5:40 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 203; Avg Heart Rate: 102. 



SUNDAY - MAY 3, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

Again, I did it off the worksheets as opposed to the video, but I took my time. It went ok, as usual.

The workouts generally went good. I'm still enjoying them.

WEEK OF APRIL 20, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 3

MONDAY - APRIL 20, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 30/15

32 pushups. 16 Band Pulldowns. Went well. I feel good.

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 297; Avg Heart Rate: 101. 


TUESDAY - APRIL 21, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Plyo Legs

The more I di the more I realize this thing is really a beast, and I don't even go full range of motion. On most moves I don't touch the floor because if I did I'd lose my balance an only get in six reps instead of twenty or thirty. I usually just reach towards the floor. I do what I can do. All the respect in the world for this workout.

Start Time: 7:00 pm; Workout Time: 63 minutes; Calories Burned: 338; Avg Heart Rate: 103. 


WEDNESDAY - APRIL 22, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Just Arms

This was just a straight on old school, no frills workout, and I came through it OK. I used 30's on the Bicep Curls, and I might be ready to try 35's. I used 25's on a few of the tricep moves, and used 20's on a most of the moves near in the bonus round. Unspectacular, but steady and effective. 

Start Time: 7:05 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 269; Avg Heart Rate: 107.


THURSDAY - APRIL 23, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

Footwear situation. I tried ankle socks covered by calf length sticky socks. They twisted a bit, but it seems like a step in the right direction. I wasn't slipping all over the mat and was able to hold my balance a bit better.

Start Time: 7:10 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 219; Avg Heart Rate: 99. 


FRIDAY - APRIL 24, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Road Warrior

This used to be a throw away workout where I didn't get much out of it because I was constantly experimenting with which band to use and where to step on the band for proper resistance. Today I used the old Beachbody bands. Yellow for the heavier loads and Maroon for when I needed more latitude in the stretch. I got my foot placement more consistent for each move. This worked out great, and I felt like I got a really wood workout in. 

Start Time: 8:30 pm; Workout Time: 53 minutes; Calories Burned: 360; Avg Heart Rate: 112. 


SATURDAY - APRIL 25, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Super Cardio

Nothing major here. I got through it. I modified two moves, the side twisty lunges and the 180 jumps. I lose my balance on both, so I replaced them with Low to High Twists and Soccer Drills respectively.  

Start Time: 8:00 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 218; Avg Heart Rate: 94.


SUNDAY - APRIL 26, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

Once again, I did this from the worksheets instead of the video, and did the tougher moves first. It went OK.

Start Time: 8:45 pm; Workout Time: 20 minutes; Calories Burned: 97; Avg Heart Rate: 97.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 171.2 (+2.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 16.2% (+0.6%)



THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I'm obviously a bit surprised at the weight and body fat gains, but I did have a few donuts mid week that I haven't had in a long time. Maybe that was it. I'll just keep an eye on it. I don't anticipate repeating the donut thing. I thought the workouts themselves went very well.

WEEK OF APRIL 13, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 2

MONDAY - APRIL 13, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Recovery 4 Results

I was a bit sore and tired, so this was a good one for me today.

Start Time: 6:10 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 215; Avg Heart Rate: 105.  


TUESDAY - APRIL 14, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Bun Shaper

This one had my legs shaking, especially during and after the Eight Card Pickups, which are brutal. I actually paused the workout twice, just to let my legs calm down a bit. That usually doesn't happen, but I guess the intensity is a good thing.

Start Time: 7:30 pm; Workout Time: 49 minutes; Calories Burned: 316; Avg Heart Rate: 110.


WEDNESDAY - APRIL 15, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Diamond Delts

I'm glad this is a bit of a shorter workout. I didn't really struggle too much, but those Y-Press things can get a little tough. I used 20's on those, but I really tired near the end of each of those two sets. Overall, it was a quicker, efficient workout. Works for me.

Start Time: 7:40 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 212; Avg Heart Rate: 105.


THURSDAY - APRIL 16, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Fountain of Youth Yoga

Certainly much better than last week. My flexibility was better and my balance might have been also

Start Time: 8:15 pm; Workout Time: 47 minutes; Calories Burned: 199; Avg Heart Rate: 96.


FRIDAY - APRIL 17, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Mammoth UML

I just took it one move at a time. Struggled with my balance a bit on some of the "lower" moves, but other than that it was OK. I modified a few moves at the end. I did 60 Wide Pushups instead of the Plyo Skippers, and did Mary Katherine Lunges the best I could instead of the Jump Knee Tucks. I can't jump.

Start Time: 7:35 pm; Workout Time: 55 minutes; Calories Burned: 322; Avg Heart Rate: 106.


SATURDAY - APRIL 18, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Medicine Ball Core Cardio

This shouldn't be difficult, but it is for me because of my lack of balance. Cardio wise it got to me also.

Start Time: 4:40 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 217; Avg Heart Rate: 104.


SUNDAY - APRIL 19, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Killer Abs

I did this without the video while I was watching TV, and I did the harder moves first to get them out of the way. It worked out OK.

Start Time: 7:30 pm; Workout Time: 20 minutes; Calories Burned: 89; Avg Heart Rate: 95.



SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 168.0 (-1.0 lb)

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I got through the week OK with the workouts, and as I type this I am making a long overdue commitment to eat better, and I'm actually excited about it. 

Monday, April 6, 2026

WEEK of APRIL 6, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 1

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.

Start Time: 6:45 pm; Workout Time: 58 minutes; Calories Burned: 337; Avg Heart Rate: 105.  


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.

Start Time: 5:55 pm; Workout Time: 63 minutes; Calories Burned: 369; Avg Heart Rate: 106.  


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.

Start Time: 6:45 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 298; Avg Heart Rate: 113.


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.



SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 169.0 (-1.2 lbs)
Body Fat: 15.6% (-0.8%)



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.
