Yesterday @ Suntec, 1hr of Body Combat (think martial arts + aerobics combined), followed by 1hr of Body Pump (think weights + controlled repetition)... and my arms & thighs nearly cramped at some pts during the sessions. Heart pounding as furiously as the workout music, sweat oozing like raw pearls from the skin pores, I can hear my muscles protesting under the long-absent strain. But ah... the feeling after is one of great achievement. No pressure from the rest of the group - save for a few muscle buffs (& of coz, the very well-toned instructor/ress), the others are a mix of working male & female execs and a sprinkling of retired men & rich local/expat tai-tais - 1 or 2 out of shape ones, but mainly within acceptable BMI, just not too toned... Push yourself, but not over your limits, and always under the watchful eyes of the Master.
2 more days to the end of my 1 wk free trial and I've got to decide whether to plonk that 4 digit figure into this fitness membership... Just worried that once term begins, I'd be overworking (an excuse??) & under-exercising yet again. Guess it all boils down to the D word. DISCIPLINE. Perhaps, I should take a pic of my (now) flabby arms/thighs, blow it up to A1 size, and hang it up on my bedroom wall. =P
Anyways, in case I may be boring you with all my descriptions of the various fitness experiences... breathe easy, I'm no self-absorbed ambassador for any chains/sessions/instructors, so will not doodle further/uneccessarily, unless I try out new stuff that packs punch. =)
Must admit though, the other reason for this new found dedication is the lessened sense of guilt that now comes with eating yummy-&-not-always-healthy food. At least, I know I will be working them off. Let me know if you wanna work out together. It can be a social activity too.
