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 5

Total Fail!

Didn't exercise a day in week 5.

But... BUT.... Week 6 will must be better!

Exercise Update Week 4

Ok week 4 was a real downer. The only day I got to exercise was on Monday. We went to Lata Hammer waterfalls for the day and each way the trek is about an hour. Every other day last week were filled with appointments and what nots. And to top that, when I didn't have any appointments, I was just too tired to exercise.

Must.Not.Slack!

On a side note, Lata Hammer was the B.O.M.B! As always! Although this time it was much much much colder. Took me like close to an hour before I actually went into the water, and when I did it was only barely for 15 minutes.

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.

I hate reptiles!

The plan was to do at least a 40 minutes trek in Gasing last Friday, going into my Week 2 of exercising. 

But it got cut short because of this guy!

My trekking partners were not able to make it so I decided to go on my own, and just 10 minutes into it, I saw this fellow. He was like half my size and I am not exaggerating! Seriously!

Surprisingly I was quite calm, there was no one else around in the jungle.

I waited a bit hoping that Mr L would go back into the jungle but he decided that he'll just go along the same trek. If I wanted to continue the trail, I'd need to pass him, which is something I was not going to do because I HATE REPTILES, and am afraid of them!

So I turned around and walked out of the jungle, did a run around the housing area instead.

Potong stim!

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.
