My Gym Experience so far..


 Somewhere in the blog, I mentioned before that I am a late bloomer. Yes, just like many metrosexual guys out there, you know who you are! I care bout my appearance and what I am unhappy about myself is probably the fact that I had never had a 6-pecs before. I am not a person who likes outdoor, let alone sports. I'm more an indoor person so subscribing to gym has always been one of the thing I want to do before I hitting grave. Anyway, to cut the story short, I finally joined gym (yes, I think I hear cheers, and champagnes popping!)


Taeyang's HD 8-pecs
I read some men health magazine but frankly I like looking at pictures more than reading words, so I'll admit that I have zero knowledge when it comes to exercising and muscle building. This is another factor why I need help from personal trainers from gym to help me shape and build my body, yes I want to those HD 8 pecs goodness I saw on Corbin fisher! (repeat, high-def people)

Zac efron's nice beach body!
Besides doing strenuous weight lifting, my gym offered a variety of classes too including yoga, muay Thai, body combat, body work and pound down. So far I took muay Thai, body combat, bodywork and body pump. All of them gave me very different experiences, some I dig but some I don't. My top favorites are body combat and body work!

are you ready for Muay thai?
Firstly the body pump! Totally loved it!
What I love:
- sweats a hell lot of it
- music very upbeat ( luv them!)
- workout for most of the major muscles by using weights
- The most intense has to be the abs workout! which I failed to finish
- feeling extremely satisfied and happy at the end of class
They instructor say I have to come for his next class, I think he saw that I really enjoyed myself lol!

Body combat
-Very excited to join the class!
-Music are very upbeat, basically you do a lots of punches, kicking, then punches again, imagine non-stop for an hour in a fast pace
-I feel I'm not made up for such high intensity workout yet, but I'm going catch up!
-I feel more tired as compared to body work and muscle aching as well! Which is good!
-Will definitely come again, good and enjoyable cardio!

Muay Thai:
The starting part of warming up and later part of warming down is extremely challenging if you do it properly. I'm not really interested in the whole muay Thai thing, it's difficult cause you need to learn the stance, punch and block. I only sweat a little. And for this class you'll need one partner, training consist of you doing blocking, he doing the attack and vice versa. Unfortunately my partner was a sadist. He really attacked me it was so painful! Coz he's bigger size as in fatness, when I attacked him back, I felt pain again! Grrr! So no I never really liked it! Pain! pain! pain!

Pound down
ER.. For the first 5 mins I knew I joined the wrong class already. It's basically for girls or men who like to shake their Bon Bon. The music was excellent though. We warmed up with tae yang's I need a girl! Love the song! When can my body become like taeyang's? The routine was really boring for me, I at least yawned 20 times in that hour alone. Didn't sweat much, only stretching the muscles. Many routines involve vigorous shaking of hip and my hip was really stiff! They also require you to do many poses, most which is also frequently seen in pornos. Leg wide opened, and then lift up to the sky, hip thrusting movements, bending forward on your knees to do doggie styles etc. Err absolutely not my cup of tea!
