My 7th session of fitness training
Yesterday I went to fitness center on my own since my trainer is at camp. Mike called me around 3 pm to tell me that he cannot make it for my training and I had to go alone. I wanted to leave office at 5 pm but was asked to wait for meeting by my boss. Unfortunately I waited till 6 pm but no sign of him so I end up taking company bus at 6.15 and went to fitness center at 6.50pm. I did 5 mins cardio felt tired then I switch to do 10 mins cycling then 5 mins stepper. Took short break then went to do another 10 mins cardio and 10 mins leg training machine. I almost wanted to stop. Not sure why felt extremely tired this day maybe due to 2 days on flu medicine. I actually did not take during lunch so that I can go for training. Anyway I force myself to do another 10 mins cardio before stop for the day. I ended 10 mins earlier than intended but since saturday I have fitness training I just let myself take 10 mins break for this session.
Today I went for my 7th fitness training. No sign of Mike so I went to do 5 mins cardio while walking towards the cardio machine I look at the entrance and saw Mike at resting area taking some drinks. Walao I don't want Mike to see me as I needed to do warmup before fitness training knowing how intensive it was. So I went ahead to do my cardio. As expected before 5 mins Mike found me ! Shikes ! I ensure I chose the spot block by the pilar don't understand how come he still sees me. So I just smile at him and he said 1 more min we start. So once I complete my 5 mins cardio there I hop down and walk with him to the training area.I was first asked to do sit and stand 20 times as warm up. Hmm maybe because I had too many days break kinda felt tired today. Mike look at me I think he must be thinking this lady forgot liao is it. Then he constantly reminds me that my knee should not move. He helped to push my knee so that I only move my thighs when I sit. He asked me do another 10 times to make sure I can do it correctly. After that I was asked to do 30 steps up and down. Finally Mike told me to do the squad and up 15 times each. Then he went to take 2 5kg weight for me to carry while I do my sit and my step and squad. In total I did 3 rounds 30 times each. So in total 270 times. In between I had to do 5 mins cardio as well. Phew ! At the last round I could feel my knees were shaking but I told myself to persevere.
Mike could see that I could hardly stand still towards last round and when its the last squad he told me this is the last round so you can do it ! Then I just force myself through. I don't know how I can do it if I was doing this alone. Remember yesterday I just took 10 mins break as I felt tired. But today I was equally tired but yet with Mike there staring at me and held on to my shoulder when I want to fall doing my exercises, money worth spend. I believe if I want to save money and try to do this by myself not only I had to take at least twice the time, I might also quit after one month. Now, I look forward to my every fitness training even knowing how tough its going to be.Finally 1 hour gone and Mike told me to go sign off for the day. He then tell me I shall see you next Sat. I look at Mike and said "Sat?" So weekdays no class? Then he told me I am at camp so I can only train you next Sat. In my heart I was relief at least I can now take a break next week. At the other hand I am also worried my stamina will go down if I just have one training next week. I told myself I must go on my own twice next week Tue and Fri. But my US boss coming for one week visit. Hopefully we do not need to go out for so many times dinner. Just once should be fine and I will try to eat less and choose Fish only.Now I start to think only 7 lessons, I have 25 more to go. Tough days ahead...........
