Sweat it out, Baby!!

... and nope, this ain't a XXX-rated thread!
We're going to talk about exercise in here!
I'm going to restart my exercise program now that my knee's is pretty much healed, and the shoulder's doing fine.
Tomorrow, I'm going to attend the Launch for the BodyBalance 30!
What's BodyBalance?
"A dynamic, fitness-to-music programme that leaves you feeling relaxed and renewed, BodyBalance combines the best of Eastern disciplines, like Yoga and Tai Chi, with popular new methods such as Pilates and Feldenkrais.
I tell you, this is the class that got me hooked! The music and the choreography is fantastic! The movements are fluid and yet, you need to exert a lot of strength, coordination, and balance and if you do it properly, you really work up a sweat!
And at the end of the class, a sleep-meditation session! AAaaaaahhhhh...

Then, off to the Steam Room as a reward for sticking it out!
So, do you exercise? What do you prefer? How often do you exercise? -
And i can sense a buffet lunch after that too..Originally posted by Rhonda:... and nope, this ain't a XXX-rated thread!

BODYPUMP!!
"The most successful group fitness programme in history, BODYPUMP® is a 45-60 minute class using barbells and adjustable weights to tone and condition muscles while raising metabolic rate for rapid fat-burning.

i love bowling too.. used to bowl with my auntie and cousin but now seldom coz everyone is so busy..

hey.. our fellas brought home a few medals you know?
and that glove is mainly for hook bowling.. to hold the wrist in a certain position and protect the wrist from being wrenched outta shape.. and to put some consistency in each delivery because for hook bowling, the ball is usually heavy... i think mine is 16lbs
p.s. it's harder exercise than you imagineOriginally posted by Rhonda:WHOA... Uber-kewl!!

Can try the annual eating competition in HongKong. The Japanese guy won fours years in a row. The guy who came in second was no where near his numbers.Originally posted by the Bear:my favourite exercise... eating really fast

i can eat fast, and i can eat a lot

And here's SPINNING!!
And to think I used to go for 3-hour sessions straight - Pilates, BodyBalance, then Spinning.
Now, just two months away, I think I cannot achieve that liao!
OK, nevermind... jiang1 shan1 zhai4 qi3!!
OK, wish me luck! I hope I don't fall or topple over or sprain anything tomorrow! [/img] -
Good luck, Rhonda and hava lots and lots of fun. With the eyes too eh?
And hey, my friend bug me to go spinning with her. She said I will like it. But sadly, I have never been. I don't know who's spinning who. Wait I gong gong. Blood sugar or is it blood pressure low lah. -

gotta run on a treadmill and ride a stationary bike... why? -
I bet you after those exercise rhonda will go on a feast and in the end its the same..thats why those fitness companies earns so much,cause they make u sweat and hungry den u put it all back..

I'm open to all modes eh, but I think indoor run and bike, got aircon, music, and no sun so no blemishes lah. Conditions constant.Originally posted by the Bear:why can't people just cycle or go out to run is beyond me..
gotta run on a treadmill and ride a stationary bike... why?
If run outside, wait got pek pan, or pan (blemishes, freckles, blah, blah) then got to go for that crystalize treatments. External conditions not constant, wait got rain, got wind, got traffic, errr....what else?
I guess to each his own. -
He's half right.Originally posted by the Bear:exercise in airconditioned comfort?
heh heh heh... what a concept!
#1 : Air-conditioned comfort... cause I get heat rash!
#2 : Can distract myself by fixating my gaze on the TV in front.
#3 : The loud, booming, get-it-moving, kinda music that, well, gets me moving!
See, exercise doesn't come naturally to me. I need TONS of distractions to make myself exercise.
And, well, if this is what it takes to get me moving, then baby, I'm doing it!
At least, I'm doing it, y'know! -
I'm speaking on behalf on my mum and sis on one side,and on the other laughing at the marketing genius of amore..But too bad i saw through their cheap gimmick..Originally posted by Rhonda:Speak for yourself!!
