Capoiera

Yesterday, I attended another class at the GYM -> Capoiera.

Thought of trying something new with my friend and we find it quite interesting but very tiring. The movement is swift and you need to move a lot.

CAPOIERA is a Brazilian blend of martial art, game and dance.

The instructor was really cool. She taught us some Capoiera basic movements such as 'Ginga', 'Au', 'Armada', etc.. a lot of kicking and spinning, even had to do cartwheel...

After the session, body is really aching especially today. Haha. But I would go for the class again when the instructor is back for hols after 1 month.

ZUMBA

ZUMBA (pronounced as 'zoomba') is a real cool workout class recently launched at my gym, California Fitness in Lion City.

I really LOVE it! ZUM-BA!! ^o^

Zumba is actually a fitness program inspored by Latin dance. It consists of combination of different dance routines such as cumbia, merengue, salsa, reggaeton, mambo, rumba, flamenco and calypso. It's really fun as you can dance and workout at the same time. = )

Gonna go try out more of the classes if time permits..hehe.. I think lately I really turned into a GYM freak, going to gym almost everyday. Last Sat, I think I spent more than 5 hours in the GYM going for 2 classes, doing some machines and weight.

Here's some Zumba videos to watch at youtube...

Workout Craze

Lately, very motivated to exercise... dunno whether it's becoz of the 15km run or just some GYM craze lately...haha...

SUN -> Jon's Aerobics class at Gym -> usual must go class.. my fren's fav instructor...
MON -> Collin's Body Pump class at Gym before work -> make me ache so much...
TUES -> Suppose to go swimming but RAIN heavily.. = ( so end up study Jap
WED -> Avesha's Beach Body class at Gym before work -> still no have bikini body yet..haha..
THURS -> Dance class recap on Latin Ballroom Dances
FRI -> TBC - plan to go Warren's class at Gym
SAT -> New class -> ZUMBA - workout with dance moves combination
SUN -> Jon's Aerobics again...

* hmmm.. I wonder how long I can stay so motivated... hahha... but I do feel more fit and alive after all the exercise though I still procrastinate and fighting my mind to wake up early morning. I tried sleeping early at night but still end up sleeping late... guess it's just a habit that's hard to get rid off or I'm just not a morning person.. = ))

Blood Donation - Iron Deficiency?!?

Missed my practise this morning... was too tired and could not get up... *sigh...

Went to collect my medical report and everything was NORMAL and OK. Wanted to meet up with a friend for lunch but she was held up at work so I ended up eating alone.

I went walk walk around Chinatown and window-shopped here and there. There were SALES and I end up buying a few pair of sport bottom. Shopaholic couldn't resist it... keke... Well, at least I really do need them.

After walking for the whole afternoon, I ended up at the BLOOD bank coz I feel like donating blood. I went for a couple times but always end up not donating, either the place is not open, long Q due to a lot of nurses on MC, etc... Today ain't the right day too... Iron Deficiency... = ((

After all the registration, questionnaires, doctor's interview.... blood test shows that my iron is low... doctor assured that I'm healthy... just that I have enough blood for myself but not for donation. He gave me some iron tablets and a list of recommended food to boost up my iron. He told me that I can come again after 3 weeks or 1 month if I really want to donate.

Guess I just need to try again 1 month later....

Passion Run 2008 in SG

I can't believe it...

I actually signed up for a 15km run after my friend talked me into it. Hahaha.. I still remember the one and only walk I signed for few years back, which is 7km walk. I went for the walk without doing any exercise... After the 7km walk, my legs just wobble...

I think I better do some training for this Run else I don't think I'm gonna make it to the finishing line... Don't wanna faint halfway... else dunno where to hide after that. This is like a big challenge for me... My friend asked whether I want to join the 45km cycling in May for warm up. Must be crazy... this 15km gonna be in June and warm up with 45km cycling in May?!? haha..

Anyway, this Sat will be joining the Running Clinic... good for practise but would hav to wake up at 6am++ on a Sat to reach there before 730am.
