What's needed for a hot bod is discipline...

One fine afternoon I was texted by Jade about this blog.

I think it is a great way to inform and also to record our 'investment's' progress.

So this is my first entry on my gym activities.

In case you are wondering, I decided to join because I decided that it is about time that I do something about my body and also with the fact that I do have a lot of time on my single hand.

I joined in late May, since then, I lost about 6 Kilos. I was losing weight only during mid of June. the first two weeks, I was still trying te reconstruct my stiff muscles and nerves.

I also signed on for Personal Trainership. I have the good luck of having a trainer who clicks with me instantaneously. Before that, I was given a butch who doesn't really know anything about trainer-client relationship and how to sustain that.

According to my trainer, I don't have a lot of losing weight to do, however, I do need to tone up. I agree and told him, yes... torture me. I want to look hot by this Eid.

I just finished my training with F.

Cardio
- 10 minutes on cross trainer.
- effort level set to 8
- Pace no more than 120

Today's training was focusing more on body weight resistance training. So F had me do lunges with 2 Kilo dumbbells, lunge jump and more lunges.

I hate doing lunges, but then, working out is not about preference, especially when you want result. Your trainer would know what would be best for you and your physical make up. Eversince I started on intensive training, my arms looked more toned, my inner and outer thighs feel firmer and I just feel .... hot.

Each lunge is repeated on a 10 rep. Lunges are a mutha I can tell you that much.

After the body weight resistance training, we went on to abdominal training. F had me doing cross legged crunch at 15 a rep, straight legged crunch at 15 and half bridge at 30 seconds.

He suggested that I continued cardio on treadmill for 30 minutes, first 10 minutes on 2 Gradient, adding 1 more at each 10 minute change.

So today, I worked on my cardio strength, I toned my hamstrings, my bum, my calfs, my abs and my flexibility.

My weight is decreasing steadily, and my level of hotness, increasing.

Just imagine getting great looking biceps, triceps. But looking healthier appeals to more.

Let me preach on the effectiveness of working out, it works... period. You want to look different, get yourself used to a lot of discipline, challenge yourself constantly because there is nothing that you can't do.

No darlings, diet supplements don't work if you want to lose weight. A balanced diet and a work out plan do.

Wait for the next performance chart!! :P
