Calling all music lovers and running enthusiasts!
Thanks to Maxis (Hotlink) I have 4 passes to the The Music Run™, the most interactive 5km fun run on the planet! 🙂
Celebrity Fitness Malaysia introduced new workout programmes from fitness fx into their repertoire recently and I took time on a Thursday afternoon to check out what’s fitness fx is all about.
As I have said in my previous post (The beginning of my Ephyra journey) , here’s Part 1 of my review of Ephyra, a collagen drink that I have been consuming since 16th November 2013.
As of now, I have drank my way through 2 boxes (each box is for a month’s supply).
Below: Empty box on the right, new box on the left.
In continuation of my 30 mins assessment with my personal trainer Lucius I started my 1st 2 sessions within the same week. (You can read about the assessment & my updates via Whatsapp on my diet –> HERE).
However I got an injury from the filming of the last episode of The Influencer and further aggravated the injury on the race day for the Maxis Bloggers Blaze.
To cut the long story short, PT was halted for the last 2 weeks though I did continue with lighter exercises. I’m the sort who can’t stop exercising at all, even if I have injuries. For me, if I don’t sweat for 2 days, I’ll be one hell of a cranky bitch. 😀
I’m going to monitor my progress using this blog as an “online diary”. Since my Personal Training sessions are scheduled to begin again this week, here’s a quick recap of my 1st 2 sessions.
Each session lasts an hour.
Day 1: Personal Training lessons @ #CelebrityFitness 11th December 2013.
If you don’t already know, my trainer is Lucius, who I’ll get to pose for a picture SOON.
5 minutes warm up.
1. 10kg each side (20kg) bar on shoulders squats – 10 reps x 3 sets
2. TRX band pull ups – 10 reps x 4 sets
3. Full push ups – 10 reps x 4 sets
4. Kettlebell swing – 10 reps x 4 sets
Lately I’ve been taking the chill pill.
I focused instead on health and took some time off for rest and relaxation after the recent bouts of back-to-back travels.
In December I had long days of shoot with Nokia for The Influencer, a youtube reality series which threw us grueling challenges (watch the video –> HERE) which pushed our physical and mental limits.
I accepted less food reviews and events invites, deciding to take it slow since I had no time to update my blog.
However, if there’s anything that I didn’t reduce, it was my workouts. I continued the intensity of my sessions; (3-4 times a week at the gym/runs) and recently Celebrity Fitness added 24 sessions of Personal Training for me.
How does one stay motivated to workout?
I’ll suggest joining a club! Make some friends! Choose interesting classes and you would not only be doing your well-being a favour, you’ll be on your way to a toner body and a confident you! 😀
Like my toned back? Well, all that hard work in the gym does pays off. REALLY.
One last week to go til the end of October. For some, the month of October could be associated with Pink, as in the Breast Cancer Awareness month. Have you done your part for this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness campaign?
