Wanted to fit in Gasing trek for the weekend but wasn't feeling the greatest from Fri night to Sunday, so didn't wanna push it.

Exercise Update Week 3

Not bad, on to my week 3 and I've not given in... yet.

Mon : Rest
Tue : Gasing trek (same route and done in 35 minutes this time - really pushed myself)
Wed : 40 minutes Pilates (Arrived 20 minutes late cos of the JAM!)
Thu : Walking around Fraser Hill
Fri : Trekked & Walked Fraser Hill
Sat : More trekking and walking in Fraser Hill, boat paddling (working those calves!)
Sun : Last day of walks in Fraser Hill

Last week was a bit more unplanned as I was away from Thursday to Sun. So just went with the flow of things, but managed a lot of walking each day. Trails were either on road or in the jungle and a mixture of flat, steep, uphill and downhill which gave a good mixture and balance.

Exercise Week 2

Started exercising again after a loooooong break. Week 1 started out with 5 out of 7 days of exercise, and here's Week 2's update.

Mon : Rest
Tue : Rest
Wed : 1 hour pilates (Beginner)
Thu : 1 hour pilates (Intermediate)
Fri : Originally planned a Gasing trek but ended up just walking and running for 20 mins
Sat : Rest
Sun : Rest

I should really do some form of exercise this evening since I had the weekend off. Hopefully work can end in time for a good workout this evening.

Onto Week 3!!

Silent Screams

Got this from Cyn Dee Too's Facebook page.

Depicts exactly what I was doing in Pilates class last night - stretching without screaming.... more like screaming silently within! LOL

Work those abs!

My first class of pilates was in April, 2010. I enjoyed it then, and yesterday after a long break went back for classes again - still enjoy it.

I was afraid that I wouldn't pull through the entire class or even some of the exercises, because although I have been working out here and there, pilates uses different sets of muscles, which have probably been sleeping for a loooong time.

But pleasantly surprised I was after yesterday's class, I pulled through and stuck it up! And am not very sore today as well.

My instructor is the bomb! Same one back then, and same one now (although her hair's different now). She's great at giving instructions, showing the 'moves', and making sure you are doing it right and not hurting yourself.

Back this evening for another class.
