WEEK OF MAY 25, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - ROUND 9 - WEEK 8

MONDAY - MAY 25, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Upper Body Balance

Day off of work day (memorial Day), so I got this one done earlier in the day than usual. That felt good. I'm sore as hell, mostly around my abs and lower back. I butchered the Superman V-ups. 20 reps seem to be too many for me. I could barely get my back off the floor. I got in three very lame Impossible Pushups, but I was able to do 20 Four Ball Pushups. They weren't deep, but I did bend my arms a bit. I got some new sneakers last week for the workouts. They are a bit heavier than the Xero Shoes I had been using. I can feel the difference when doing any type of a v-up. Overall, it went well. Maybe because it was earlier in the day, and I was a bit fresher.

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.

Start Time: 8:20 pm; Workout Time: 33 minutes; Calories Burned: 219; Avg Heart Rate: 109.

TUESDAY - MAY 19, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Butt and Belly

A good workout. I'm getting used to the Eight Card Pickups.

Start Time: 7:55 pm; Workout Time: 46 minutes; Calories Burned: 283; Avg Heart Rate: 106.

WEDNESDAY - MAY 20, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - On One Leg

I did this one off the worksheet, and may have gone too fast. Because I can't balance on one leg, I just lifted my heel a bit and tried to balance on my toe. It worked a bit, sometimes better than others. I used 20 lb weights with 12 reps on each move (except for the 21's). I've turned this thing into a useful workout..

Start Time: 9:25 pm; Workout Time: 20 minutes; Calories Burned: 108; Avg Heart Rate: 105.

THURSDAY - MAY 21, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Patience Hummingbird

It started good, then leveled out a bit. Overall, probably better than normal.

Start Time: 7:00 pm; Workout Time: 36 minutes; Calories Burned: 146; Avg Heart Rate: 94.

FRIDAY - MAY 22, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - 10 Minute Crusher Pack

This came at the right time. I played golf this morning and was a bit tired, so a quicker workout was welcome. I did all the ab moves on my back because I can't do anything of value on the pullup bar. The legs and shadow boxing areas were good but not great.

Start Time: 6:55 pm; Workout Time: 34 minutes; Calories Burned: 151; Avg Heart Rate: 96.

SATURDAY - MAY 23, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Cardio Intervals

Not good. It started OK, but my legs got tired quickly and my balance was horrible. It was frustrating, but it is what it is. 

Start Time: 4:50 pm; Workout Time: 41 minutes; Calories Burned: 209; Avg Heart Rate: 101.

SUNDAY - MAY 24, 2026 - TONY HORTON ONE ON ONE - Iso Abs

Again, I did it without the video. I was feeling it.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK

I caved on some cookies, so I'm disappointed in myself. The workouts went well. I'm feeling toned.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
