Loving my workout pain :)

Wow.. It's been a week plus since my last post.. So, today, I'm gonna talk about all the workout throughout my disappearance. :)

On last Friday, 4th March 2011, I had my first session with my mentor Mr Sam Adnan a.k.a Sam Titan. I started with a 15 minutes walk on the treadmill. After that, Sam showed me some of the gym's equipment which I will be doing shortly after! :)

So, my first weight equipment, "Pulley"! Having to do 8 to 12 reps for 3 sets for the first time with a 15 kg weight lift is totally challenging for me. Being a long distance runner, I never even looked at any weight equipments as all I used to do was running on the field, track, road side, hill side and running up the stairs in Yayasan Sabah building. My dad used to work there, so, no problem for me to get in. I only visited the gym if the weather is bad and all I do is, running on a treadmill. I do more outdoor training because I always participating in Jogathon, Marathon and Triathlon competition.

Anyway, continuing towards my second weight equipment, "Pull Down" and the third was the "Low Row". Each and every weight equipment have their own muscle work out area and for my workouts I have actually worked on my biceps, triceps, back, chest and shoulder. In order to see the result and to prevent any injuries, you must do it right! That is why I have my own personal trainer to help me and guide me throughout my workout.

After I've finished my weight workout with Sam, I ended my workout by walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes.

Soon after that, I took an hour and a half rest gap before joining the "Body Pump" group exercise class. Group exercise is always a fun way to workout with friends and family. "Body Pump" really worked me out!! My thighs, arms and shoulders was so exhausted till I was all shaky towards the end of the class but it was fun :)

Please note that, I am not trying to build a muscle like a man. I am trying to transform my skinny flabby body into a shapely, sexy and toned body of a woman. There is a different method of doing it. If you wanna build muscle like a man you go for more heavier weight and more sets but if you just wanna maintain a nice toned and shapely body, you should go easy with the weight. If I can do it, so can you!

The next day.. My whole body was sore but I was happy because it shows that I have worked my ass out! :P The soreness lasted for 4 days and on the 4th day, my second workout continues tomorrow.

Follow me to my next chapter :)
