Day 35

Yesterday, I definitely had to go to the gym. I haven't been blogging much because I haven't been going much, simple as that. I don't even want to calculate how much $$ I have been wasting, but believe me, it's really "a series of unfortunate events". Starting with my car accident, then the manager who fetches me to work having a lot of work lately, so he goes back late too, and then me falling sick.

Do you know how sien it is to come home at about 8pm each day, and by the time I pack and reach the gym, it'll be about 8:30pm - 8:45pm (because Jalan Tujuan headed towards USJ is DAMN JAM then), and then not have much nice classes anymore? At first I was quite semangat and did that... even if it's just to run for 25 minutes on the threadmill. Then I fell sick. And actually til now, the cough is still quite bad. My mom also shocked. Lasted for about 1 month (my sickness).

Well, til now I still don't have my car back. Previous weekends had some other stuff to do, but this Sunday I was free and I grabbed the chance for a LONG and leisurely workout. I ended up working out for FOUR hours!!

Let's see, I started off with a 15minute run on the threadmill. Couldn't really last very long. This time I didn't do a gradual increment. Started at 7kph, then increased to 8, 9 and then 10kph. Wooh! But it was really nice running at 10kph to Fergie & Daddy Yankee's El Impacto. I really love that song! Raymond @ The Office is saying that I'm becoming a feng-tau-er, but then again if that means I don't adore Carrie Underwood, then I'm okay with that. 0:-)

After that, I hurried off for my Body Attack class, only to find that it had been replaced with Hi-Lo with Ambika! Well, no probs there, I've always wanted to try Hi-lo. And yes, that was my first class! I was convincing another lady to join the class, because she was debating over whether she would be able to follow the steps or not. :P Anyway, the Body Balance instructor from the prior class came out to explain what Hi-Lo was and also convinced her to join in the end. The class was quite small, about 8 of us. The regular Attack-ers were MIA!

Don't see why, because as Ambika says, this class is kinda like Body Attack! Erm, let me put it this way, Body Attack is to Hi-Lo what Body Jam is to Cardio Dance. Meaning - in Body Attack each sequence goes with one song, but in Hi-Lo, the sequences keep adding up... can be quite confusing la. It's like the "performance track" in Body Jam! But it was still fun, no harm joining more classes anyway.

I had about an hour before going for my next class, so I decided to tone up. Yes, I've decided to definitely never join Body Pump classes because I always get so intimidated by the amount of weights even the small size ladies are able to carry. Its not like I want to bulk up, just tone up a bit, I think carrying like, 5-10kg is sufficient? Must go and "pik zhi kei" to carry 20kg meh?? Anyway, this is the list of sets that I did on Sunday:
1) 15 x 10 adductor (outwards) - 15 (pls note I don't know if lb or kg... just look at the number on the weights.. haha!)
2) 15 x 10 adductor (inwards) - 15
3) 15 x 10 low row (10)
4) 15 x 10 leg curl (10)
5) 15 x 10 leg extension (10)
6) 15 x 10 leg press (15)
7) 15 x 10 calve extension (10)
8) 15 x 10 glutes (15) (this is such a fun machine to work out on!)
9) 15 x 10 trunk curl (10-15??)

Then it was time for class! Hahaha, I'm surprised I got so many done in between classes anyway. I'm VERY slow when doing sets. Especially the glutes, since I had to do 15 x 10 PER LEG. Anyway, its' really a bad idea to do sets before Body Step, my gawd, I really felt the strain on my thighs! I somehow managed to last until the last power track of the day. Actually, I wanted to walk out during the speed step track, but Roland did "heatwave" which is one of the fun-nest speed step tracks evar. Then again, I really like speed step tracks (walking on sunshine, chihuahua, walk like an egyptian), so there's a high chance that the instructor will do a likable track. =p

When I got home, I thought I would need counterpain, but I was surprisingly macho and didn't even feel much pain.

On Monday, I couldn't laugh (because of the trunk curls) and my thighs ache like mad.
Today's Tuesday and things aren't any better. Well, I can't go to the gym anyway due to a certain monthly ritual. Maybe later la.

The good news though, is I'm getting my car tomorrow! (note : I'm posting this on Tuesday) So that means I'll be back to my gym-bunniness in no time at all. I missed you True Fitness! You even smelled different on Sunday. =p
