I go to the gym almost everyday. I spend on the average around 2 hours, doing a bit of weights, a lot of cardio and dancing. I am enjoying it to the max in fact I feel sad whenever I can’t go. My system is looking for it. I’ve developed friends which is a plus. I am very observant too, always mindful of my surroundings. I noticed that people have all sort of drinks. I’d like some energy drinks but I don’t know which is the best. I heard that crystal light is good. What I did was check online to see what makes it good. I liked what I discovered. A zero carb drink, woohoo! It’s low calorie and sugar free too. Now I found my perfect companion!
I have been nagging my daughter to do a bit of fitness because I am starting to worry about her. Not that she is sick or something but she has to do fitness one way or another. She has to inculcate that in her life. It’s a good thing it’s not foreign to her, I mean the idea and all. What she actually wants do to is yoga. I need to find her this extra thick yoga mat so that she’d be as comfortable and so that she’ll love yoga too. I have to try it too and if I find it comfy as what my other friends say, then I have to get one for myself too.
I have not gone to the gym for a week. I got really busy. I know it’s not a perfect reason to miss gym but seriously who does not want to regularly workout? Anyway, I got all sorts of body pains and it seemed like I was gonna get sick. Yes, this is the feeling I get when I miss gym. I feel terrible. And oh I miss my gym buddies too. I was surprised to see this buddy of mine, she lost weight in that week I have not seen her. I just forgot to ask if she’s on weight loss pills or something. The weight loss was very noticeable and she looked good. Yes I am jealous because I’ve been trying to lose weight but to no avail.
In the gym that I go to, I have witnessed how those guys started from being lean to building those huge muscles. Sometimes I am encouraged to do a little weight lifting to get rid of the flabs. I heard from someone that it’s very hard to achieve those beautiful muscles in a short period of time so I am really wondering if those guys are into the best creatine supplement. I don’t have the guts to ask them, or maybe I should be friends with them first so that I get a tip or two on how to build those muscles.
I went to a nail spa this morning and right across the shop was a gym for women. I kinda got interested when I saw their tarpaulin. It advertised the famous circuit training. To those who are not familiar with this yet, it a total body workout in just 30 minutes. It claims that it can burn fat and therefore aids in weight loss. I wonder if it works like these fat burners.
The thing is, I don’t think I have the energy to do a total body workout in just 30 minutes. I find it a bit strenuous. I haven’t tried it yet but thinking about it, it makes me tired already.
Our aerobics instructor was absent yesterday. Someone took his place. When I saw his moves, I knew from the very start that I won’t be able to catch up. I know, I am not really new to this thing having done aerobics for about a year now. But compared to my buddies who’s been doing it for 20 years already, I am a newbie. I tried my best to follow his instructions though, but the thing is I can’t understand him and can’t barely hear him. All I hear is his loud oooooooooooo, whatever that is. Anyway I got stressed in the middle of the workout because of frustration so I just decided to go home and just step on the treadmill. I did 30 minutes and it bore me to death. I really love some action on the dance floor.
I am so happy that my son has finally agreed to go into some fitness routine. We’ve been encouraging him ever since I can remember, but all he wants is just to play video games. Well until now he is still into it, but this time he can squeeze in fitness. I asked him to join the kickboxing class and he happily agreed in fact he is starting to love it. He looks forward to it and is willing to stay overtime. Hopefully he loses some weight along the way which is the main target why we are encouraging him to go into fitness.
*It’s just his second session and he already showed signs of improvement said his coach.
I was just in time for aerobics class today, well I was close to being late. Good thing there was a new instructor. Ok, so I went inside the studio, hhhmmm new guy instructor, hot, muscled, fit. He introduced himself to us, he is oh sorry I forgot his name coz I was a bit distracted, I’m an instructor at FF. Ok good, still hot! Fast forward to start of the class, he started dancing, my jaw dropped, GAYNESS at it’s best, yeah he was HOT alright, but NOT! Anyhoo I enjoyed the class, imho he was good in fact everyone liked him. Today was totally different from the rest of the days. Today was fun, the steps were easy to follow, we had good music and there was GAYness all over the place, now that spells fun, right?
Fit! I wanna be fit! That’s what everyone is shouting nowadays, me included! I’m working on it now and hopefully there’s no stopping. I feel good when I workout or do some cardio stuff and I can’t exchange the feeling for anything else. To choose between chillaxing and working out, I’d choose the later. I just wish that I had one of these elliptical machines at home so that on days that I can’t go to the gym to attend my aerobics class I can do it at home. Or if I really want to get serious, I can step on the machine in the mornings, then go to my aerobics class at nights.
I’ve been watching a lot of Zumba vid on youtube. Actually I want to order a DVD, all four from beginner to advance. But I’m having second thoughts, I’m the lazy type and I’m good only on the first few days. Eventually those DVDs would collect dusts, just like what happened to my belly dancing DVDs. Oh well, I’m learning my lesson the hard way.
When I went to my aerobics class yesterday, I asked our instructor if he knows how to do Zumba. Luckily he does. I didn’t expect that he’d include it in the class yesterday. I only asked if he knew. I feel a little sad because two of the students “walked out”. I don’t think they liked the idea of doing Zumba instead of the regular step aerobics. I don’t know but it felt weird when they went home. I had to tell the instructor that he has to ask the people in the counter first if he can include it. I am really hoping that we’d do Zumba even for 30 minutes. Aerobics class is 2 hours for me.
Attended aerobics class last night. To my surprise I was able to catch up with the routine. I can now blend with the other students. I was really slow before, my feet entangled coz I can’t do it. I was slow. But after 7 sessions, woohoo I did it! I’m more in love with aerobics now. I made friends too!
I bought that at 50% off, what a steal! I need something like that for my aerobics class. That is actually made for tennis, but I guess that will do at the moment and that’s what I can afford. Will I save up for another one? I don’t think so. I used it twice already and it feels comfortable. As long as I’m comfortable with it why bother getting a newer style. If I had lots of moolah then I would, but then again I should start learning how to spend wisely.
I was doing good with the treadmill for a while until I got really disappointed that nothing was happening to my body. I didn’t even lose weight even if I run like 1 hour every other day. I do a little exercise in between too. Now I have enrolled myself to aerobics, hope it does good. If not maybe I’ll consider this quick trim diet. They say that it’s more effective if you combine exercise with diet. I think so too, but you see I’m still working on the diet part. Hopefully in time I can do both. It’s for my own good I know, and it’s for your own good too. Why don’t you start with a fitness regimen today? I’m sure that is part of your New Year’s resolution.
Many of you probably know that I quit belly dancing in June. For some personal reasons, I couldn’t get myself to attend my most fave fitness thingy. Now you know why I put on weight. I think part of it is because I didn’t do any fitness routine. Gone are those days now. I finally took the initiative to enroll myself in the gym doing aerobic exercises. On Wednesdays, we do Hi Lo and Hip Hop, on Fridays we do Hi Lo and Dance with a bit of yin yoga. I’m still not decided whether I enroll in the unlimited program next month.
I really need to do it! Not lose weight though but work on my bulging abs. A lot say that I look better with my weight now. Haha like since when can someone look good after putting in 17 lbs.? Yep, to date I already gained 17 pounds and this time it’s really alarming if I don’t put a stop to this pacman like mouth. If I can exercise a little each day, I’d really really do it. So there this afternoon I did a little fitness thingy and hopefully tomorrow I won’t get lazy.
I visited Mom yesterday. We actually had lunch there as usual. That is our routine every Sunday. We go to church first, then have lunch at their place, then dinner at the in-laws. Anyways, Mom told me over lunch that I had big arms. And she even asked if this was my heaviest, coz she thinks it is. I hate to admit but she is right. I am at my heaviest right now and I am getting frustrated already. I need to look up what kind of fat burners are really working. Yeah I exercise too but not regularly in fact I started yesterday again after not doing it for 2 months. I hope to keep my fitness thingy unless I want to turn to something I would really hate.
I’m gonna try and do this. I said, just try, who knows I won’t find it hard. Yep I just purchased my first fitness ball, I actually don’t have any idea on how to use it. I went to youtube, good thing Tammy ( I love her) has an exercise using a fitness ball. I find it hard but will try my best. I will let you know if it’s going to be a success! If not I’m going to look for more exercises (easy ones) involving a fitness ball.
My abs section is my problem right now. Well it has been a problem ever since but moreso now. Maybe all of you have noticed that I put on some weight, and I just hate it that it went to the wrong places, if you know what I mean. Nope I don’t exercise everyday, I am just too way lazy. Crazy me I know, but people who play Pet Society and Restaurant City would understand, LOL.
But NO! Even if I added another FB account solely for playing I promised myself not to get hooked, duh! Thank God I will be back to belly dancing on Monday. It helps I must admit. I didn’t dance for 2 months already since my teacher gave birth. But I am just happy that we will start again come Monday.
I’ve been telling my friends that I need to do something about this bloated feeling. Yeah I am kinda lazy to exercise these days, blame it to the cold and chilly weather. I just like to stay in bed. And yeah I have been busy too, it’s the time of the year where every renewals are to be made. Sometimes I want to resort to one of the best diet pills already because I don’t want this bloated feeling. If I don’t do something about it, probably I’ll be heavy in no time and I don’t like that to happen.
It’s worth buying a treadmill for home use. I hate going to the gym, I hate to say I’m lazy, but yes I am. The fact that I have to drive all the way to the gym makes me want to forget getting on the treadmill, much more to exercise. Now that we have one at home, I don’t have any reason not to use it. We actually bought it for our boy who prefers not to do any physical activities. All he wants is play computer games. Now we can let him use it anytime, but since class has started we can’t make him use it everyday. Weekends maybe, but not regularly too. If any of you wants to buy a treadmill, why not take a look at these treadmills. Pick the one that suits your budget. They have a huge sale ongoing right now, and this is just the proper time to buy one. Huge sale equals great savings.
I’d love to have this character shoes when I go dancing. Not that I go clubbing every night ^_^ but as many of you know by now, dancing is my form of exercise. I dance twice a week. I have my dancing shoes though, but I feel it’s gonna “die” on me anytime soon. Yep, I only have a pair and you can just imagine how old it looks now, and really really worn out. I love dancing in heels, a 3-in. one. Dancing moves become quite sexy. I am not kidding, it sort of gives a different kind of sway. I used to wear sneakers or ballet shoes when I dance. But when I discovered that dancing in heels is cool and nice to look at, I think I now prefer dancing in heels. No, you don’t dance with just any kind of shoes, unless you want to get injured. There’s a special shoes made for dancing. It’s really comfortable and very light. Sometimes I don’t feel like I have shoes on. And you know what? Since my dancing shoes is really beautiful, I’ve been attempting to wear it outside the dance floor. Upon the advice of my teacher, she said that dancing shoes are not made for walking. Darn! So there, remember wear dancing shoes when you are in the dance floor, and don’t forget to change into something else when you are out of the dance floor, otherwise you are going to hurt yourself.
Oh no! Can I still fix this? Are you wondering how it happened? I used that on my first try with hiphop abs. I haven’t worn that shoes in ages…poor storage probably that’s why it fell apart. What sucked big time was I was almost done with the routine…it was cool down already (panira talaga ng momentum, asar). I think it’s time to buy a new one, or lemme check if I’ll feel comfortable with my other running shoes. Maybe tomorrow, I still didn’t do any exercise since the week started. I wasn’t able to dance yesterday (Monday) because of headache and muscle sore from the Puerto Galera trip. Yeah I need to dance tomorrow so I’ll feel good.
I decided to be really serious when it comes to my workout. I’ve been really lazy lately, well except for my twice a week belly dancing class which I look forward to. But I feel that it’s still lacking. I need to exercise (cardio) more. The treadmill is just sitting in the corner of the house unused. Yesterday I walked for about 30 minutes at a speed of 2.7. I couldn’t go any faster since I was watching a belly dancing DVD. Not a good combination coz I wanted to dance with Nina and Veena, lol. Tell me can you do belly dancing while on the treadmill? Anyways, after my 30-minute walk, I followed the instructional vid of Nina and Veena which concentrated on the hips, buns and thighs. Again for another 30 minutes. So total workout yesterday was an hour. Today I’m sitting it out in the computer blogging. Can’t do cardio everyday you know, well that’s what my trainer said before.
Remember this entry? He is still lazy to use it, he says it’s boring. He has a point, coz I find it boring too. So I thought of a way, why not put a television set with DVD player so that you won’t notice the time while walking or running? True enough, he walked for 45 minutes, I didn’t hear a single word, just chuckles in between because of the movie he was watching (white chicks). For a 12 year old lazy butted kid (i hope he does not read this, lol) 45 minutes is quite an achievement. Oh he already lost 5 lbs., that’s from the exercise and the salad I feed him once in a while.
This is for everyone who wants to have a vavavooom body. I know some of you resort to taking diet pills. Why don’t you read some diet pills reviews first before deciding what to take. I feel that this is really important, not only with diet pills but with every product we purchase. I already made this a habit. Every time I like something, I look for product reviews first to know more about the product. Most often than not, product reviews play a major role in my decision to purchase anything. Sometimes it is my deciding factor. So far so good.
