Continue from last posting on my fitness training:

My 4th lesson with trainer was on 31st Dec. I did cardio for 10 mins when Mike came to ask me to go over to start the lesson. This time I was all prepared for the tough lesson, to my horror he passed me a ball weight 3kg and tell me today this will be the ball you use for exercise. Did almost the similar routines with last lesson except with much heavier ball and had to run to and from in the room where daily they have yoga/pilate lessons. I felt much tired this day.

Mike told me that he has student that sweat on the floor totally wet. He asked me to be prepared (Gulp...!) Anyway I was glad towards the end I manage to get through this lesson and felt much more tired than the last. Not sure how many calories I burnt this time but alot more than the last one since I sweat so much and so tired.

My 5th lesson which happens to be on 3rd Jan. Mike called me around 3pm to request that I can help to be punctual at 6 pm which I told him I will try my best. I manage to leave office 5 mins earlier and then walk fairly quickly to the bus stop (seems the training sessions helped me to walk faster hoho). Then I realise bus arrived before I reach the bus stop just another 20 meters away I saw people going up I just ran. Wow, did not realise my last lesson helped me run so fast I manage to get my feet on the bus and so happppppy!

Finally I reach the fitness center but realised its only 5.35pm. I changed and then decide to do cardio but then someone called me! Oh, so familiar its Mike ! I turn and look did not realise he was running right behind me exercising. Well, I never recognised him when he change into his exercise outfit as he looked different when not wearing uniform. I felt pai seh as I took sometime to find him. He told me we shall start 6pm sharp (Ok lor)

Then I cycle for about 20 mins but I could not find him, I walk to the counter and wait and wait then I realised he went to have a puff and he has not yet changed. When he saw me he told me to wait awhile he get change into his uniform. Then we start our 5th lesson.

This time no balls but I will using my towel instead. I was asked to pull the towel between my hands and then try to squad. This time the squad is much more difficult as he asked me to squad but my knees not to move forward. I find my balancing on my left leg is weak in compared to my right leg. It took me sometime to get it working as taught. I had to do this 6 rounds and total of 120 squad and another 120 on the machine to train my legs.

After completing this was asked to do cardio this time to adjust speed to level 8 (previously on level 7). Then Mike told me a good news (to me lah) that he will be going for NS a week mid Jan. He told me to be 'kuai' to do exercise on my own (wow, in my heart I felt so happpppy. Finally I can have a little more relaxing exercise). Then after I finsh 10 mins on cardio I was asked to do stepper. I really hate this stepper machine coz it took all my strength and I only burn half the calories when I spend the same time on cardio. I was told not to step fully down but halfway before step using my other feet.

Upon 3 mins on stepper I realised my leg were so tired and aching. I had to drag myself to step further. Mike was there kept shouting "Pat, you can do it another 2 more mins......." I felt this is like my last days...........imagine I had to climb mountain to escape from something and here my legs were so heavy. Finally I saw a lady next to me she is so petite but muscular. She could do stepper with a blink. How can she move her legs so quick and step so hard when she is so small. I could hardly step don't even mention about step both feet so quickly. After watching her it motivate me to put my best effort and strength to complete this final exercise. When I saw the timer shows 5:00 which is 5 minutes, wow I am really so relieved. Then Mike congratulate me and told me that I did well. Yeah, my legs almost break because of this stepper. The weight machine that I tried earlier to train my legs made my legs ache after doing it 120 times.

Well, after taking bath I told myself to watch "I am Legend", I went for fish soup (as advised by Mike) then I went to cinema to catch this show before it ends. Next day I realised I catch a cold and now having slight flu and bad cough. So sad............. I hope to recover today as I am going for Jacky Cheung's concert at night, I better sleep more to rest.
