WEEK OF MARCH 3, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 7 - WEEK 6

MONDAY - MARCH 3, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Upper Body Balance

This was harder than I remember it being. One issue I had was balancing on balls with my feet. Since I can't feel my feet, it was very tough. Before I got sick, it wasn't an issue. I used to love Four Ball Pushups. Today I really struggled. I didn't get in any Impossible Pushups. I gave it several attempts without any success, then decided to give it up before I hurt myself. Even some of the Boat moves were hard. Can't fault my feet on those, but my hamstrings seem tight, so it was hard to keep my legs straight. I especially had a hard time with the Rolling V-Ups.

TUESDAY - MARCH 4, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg For Legs

I can't even begin to balance on one leg. I knew I was going to have to modify a lot. Sometimes I did the move on two feet. Other times I held on to  chair. I wasn't really feeling sorry for myself, but halfway through I came to the realization it's just the way things are. If I physically can't balance I can't get better at the moves. All I can do is try things to make it a bit more challenging. 

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 52 minutes; Calories Burned: 235; Avg Heart Rate: 98.

WEDNESDAY - MARCH 5, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Back and Belly

I did all up the pullup moves with bands. The belly moves went well, except for the Roll Up V Ups which always hurt my back. A good workout with a relaxed atmosphere on the video.

Start Time: 8:05 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 180; Avg Heart Rate: 99.

THURSDAY - MARCH 6, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird Yoga

Not great. My balance was really bad. I have my limits physically, but it was frustrating today.

Start Time: 7:40 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 165; Avg Heart Rate: 98.

FRIDAY - MARCH 7, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 100/30/20

It's supposed to be 100 Jump Ropes, 30 Crunches, 20 Pushups. I physically can't do jump ropes any more, because I can't jump straight up, so instead I came up with the brilliant idea of doing 10 Burpees instead. I hate burpees, but thought I'd push myself instead of doing fake jump ropes. Going into it, I thought I might change my mind after the first few sets, but I persevered and got them all in. I did 20 in the bonus round to finish with an even 100. I wasn't jumping all the way up on them, making them more like frog burpees, but they were still tiring. I'm proud of myself for pushing myself.

Start Time: 7:25 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 302; Avg Heart Rate: 113.

SATURDAY - MARCH 8, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Confusion: Mason's Choice

Another frustrating, humbling workout. This used to be my favorite workout, but I really struggled today with my footwork. I was especially having problems with the back lunges. I had to reset my feet before moving forward again, and kept losing my balance. I'll get over it.

Start Time: 5:05 pm; Workout Time: 43 minutes; Calories Burned: 233; Avg Heart Rate: 101.

SUNDAY - MARCH 9, 2025 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

I did well. It helps when you really, realy like a workout, which I do on this one. I went a bit faster than he did, but still held the reps longer than usual. I just moved from one exercise to the next with very little down time in between. I could feel it in my abs during the workout, which is a good feeling.

Start Time: 6:40 pm; Workout Time: 38 minutes; Calories Burned: 131; Avg Heart Rate: 93.


SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Weight: 164.4 (+2.0 lbs)
Body Fat: 17.5% (+0.5%)

These were both big increases. Out of the ordinary. I feel like I'm carrying a bit more weight, especially around my middle, which I noticed seemed to be a bit bigger mid-week. I'm hoping the big increase was an aberration, but it's been getting out of control lately anyways.


THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

A mixed bag on the workouts. Some of them were a real struggle and others seemed a bit like wins. Either way, I kept at it. Weight thing needs to be seriously addressed. Obviously it's not going to fix itself.
