Monday & Tuesday Workout

Image
Yesterday I procrastinated at going to the gym because I got hungry and made a sandwich then decided to catch up on Bones (wth, why is Pelant such a maniac). But since I eventually missed the boxing boot camp class I was planning to go to, I then decided to catch up on Modern Family and Once Upon a Time. Omg why is Peter Pan (the shadow) so creepy... Therefore, I just made Monday a Cardio & Abs day -Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit -the ab workout from  http://www.fitbodyhq.com/strength-training/better-than-crunches-5-ab-exercises/ Here's the picture compilation I made from the information Leg raises Plank on stability ball Side plank alternating leg raise Swiss ball knee tucks Tuesday - Chest & Triceps day Chest Db bench press 4 x 8 8 6 6 Pushups 4 x 10 Lying on back chest flys 4 x 8 Triceps Cable tricep extensions 3 x 8 Tricep Db extension 3 x 8 10 mins of jumping rope (my thighs/glutes are still hurting from Sunday's workout...) and ...

Burn baby buns Burn

Yesterday was an interestingly occupied, good day! My best friend (let's call her Jelly) from college had a sleep over at my house and unbeknownst to me, I'd be friend-sitting her til the early evening because that is when her meeting will be. In any occasion, I'd gladly entertain her and we'd go eat food, browse internet, venture about in stores, etc. But I assumed she'd have a super early meeting and I'd make it to the 'date' with a guy friend. hahaa Jelly calls it a date, I call it a conversation over coffee. We woke up too late for a our ideal workout in the morning, but then was probably too late for me to make the 2 pm 'date.' So we idled around my house watching youtube clips of ukulele serenading, reading articles online, and just being us. Then guyfriend tells me he's running late so luckily I was able to push it to 3:30. Funny how we were lazing around for a moment then quickly changed into our gym gear and headed to the gym, G...

The Pain of Red (menstruation)

Image
Another benefit for exercising? Pain relief. Natural human pain relief. I'm quite fortunate in the fact that my monthly visits from the period doesn't usually bring about the unwanted pain and cramps. Actually the only discomfort I really get is more bloating and slight stomachaches that give me diarrhea (I think I would rather have that than constipation to be honest). I remember in middle school I used to have searing pain that would make me double up and just fall to the floor cringing. But that was luckily very rare for me, and I know some ladies have it pretty merciless. I guess I was pretty active in high school because of the stupid obligatory weekly mile runs in PE and also because I was on the swim team. So memories of cramps are very blurry. And college, walking around everywhere to get around made me mildly active.. :) However, I've had some obvious discomfort the past summer when I took a break from Insanity. I was shocked when I had cramps and I tried...

Jamie Eason's DAY 1

Image
Phase 1, day 1  (link to her page and video on bodybuilding) This is day 1's workout. I did this workout 3 days ago, and I was really sore for 2 days! Going to get those muscles :D If you read my previous post, I talked about how Jamie Eason barely does cardio and that I'm going to attempt to do her 12 week weight program because I want to be toner and leaner.

When you're out of time because you're a lag like me

Image
I have a bad tendency to push back working out especially when it's late at night. Then it gets too dark and too late and I am too scared to go out into the cold darkness and venture out to the gym. Such was my case yesterday night... Therefore, I decided to do Cassey Ho's Off the Wall 2012 POP pilates mashup. Omg my thighs and core were burning. I also did a quick pump of my upper body with pullups, pushups, and lifting weights in that 'starting lawnmower' motion. Finally, I just danced around and tried to move around my jiggly abs :( Hahah Lately, I've been feeling mushy and jiggly. I haven't gained any weight but my body still feels so 'soft'. I've looked through instagram for motivation and found Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer . She talks about how she rarely does cardio but really focuses on weight training. She gave the analogy of people doing so much cardio at the gym as 'hamsters on the wheel'. I myself absolutelt hate cardi...

Boxing Boot Camp

Image
I had a dream few days ago about a family member being kidnapped and being conned into having fake guns as a test by the gangsters. Moral of the dream: I must go learn self-defense so that I won't feel as helpless and weak as I did in that dream. I want to be able to roundhouse kick someone just like in the movies you watch of badass girls. Anyways, that was kind of a digression from my title: boxing boot camp Every Monday I look forward to this class at my gym because the instructor is so good at making you push yourself. You know the instructor is good if the class is disgustingly filled up! Every time I take this class, I am sore for two days. And the best part is that the workouts differ just a little each time. Maybe one day I'll be confident enough to be in the front so that I can see myself in the mirror and check my stance. Except I don't like people looking at me... (I certainly choose some people in the front to look at because they keep up with the wor...

Jenn Im's advice on being healthy

Image
It's a constant effort for everyone:  clothesencounters took over a year for her to lose the weight and maintain it take a picture of everything you eat/ that conscious effort curb your carbs eat proteins, veggies, fiber = fill you up try to make one meal a day completely carb-less/ wean yourself off, there are addicting components remix your meals (ie: 1/2 ramen with more veggies, tofu, etc) add more nutrients don't count your calories water is your best friend exercise:  blogilates  !

For a latecomer... going to gym late for classes is a lose-lose situation

Image
Most of the classes that I'm interested in are scheduled at the busiest time of the day (at the gym) which is usually from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. I try to keep Monday evenings open just because my gym offers 'boxing boot camp' and you get your ass kicked in that class. Today I realized my sweats were all gone so I was looking all over for them so that I can wear them over my short, short workout shorts in the freezing cold. So.... I was too late for that. Therefore, I waited for the cycling class, but apparently you need tickets from the front desk to claim a bike. Boo. Had to motivate myself to go on a bike and do my own HIIT cardio on it. Was going to run on treadmill or go on stairmaster but of course they're all taken! SEE, lose-lose for me since it's so busy I can't go to class and the rest of the gym is packed like sweaty sardines. Though there is one silver lining: eye-candy be it women or men. Evening is the optimal time to see some cuties. Don't ask ...
