Getting off your ass: Do you think you can do it?

For those who always bitch and moan that they can't get off their ass to do a simple workout. There is no excuse after watching this video.

He has cerebral palsy and gave up on living and himself many many times, yet, he pushed on and made the best of what he can do for himself and his friends around him.


Hard work, indeed, leads to sweet victory, as he gets sponsored by Gaspari Nutrition.

Amusing crap that people buy.

THIS IS SO AMUSING!


WHY would anyone believe in this, I have no idea but it made me burst out in laughter.

Like are you serious????

Convocation workout!

I'm graduating from uni tomorrow! So, to look my best (well, you still can TRY while wearing your huge graduation gown...), this is my workout for today.


20 Side lunges   
20 Sumo squats
20 Crunches
20 Twists
20 Prisoner get ups
Repeat this circuit 4 times


Well, my health journey right now is okay. Been eating more crap than usual due to family gatherings. But that's no excuse! My usual day looks like this:


M1 Milo + cereal/juice
M2 Cereal
M3 Vegetables, egg with wild rice
M4 Protein shake + milk
M5 Dinner (vegetables, chicken, egg with pasta/noodles)
M6 Milk + crap


I get my workouts in before the protein shake and milk. Shakes don't taste good. But they sure taste MUCH BETTER after a good workout!


I try to squeeze in 4-5 workouts a week. 


How's your progress? I'm really glad I'm holding on to mass even though my workload has doubled!

My take on shoes that promise a workout.

The back of your legs are called Hamstrings, not Thighs.

Exercise challenge!!- 300 squats

Since I went to JB today for another shopping trip (haha), I couldn't do a proper workout by the time I got home. Thus, I decided to do this 300 squats challenge on bodyrock.tv!







I modified it to sumo squats 'cause my knee still hurts a bit.Also, I did 100 squats, did stretching for 20s and repeated this 3 times. The stretching really helped my muscles to push on and continue with my squats. It was really motivating when I could see the various muscles of my quads really popping as I moved! :) Try this challenge out as a quick workout when you're back home late and really have no time to squeeze in a workout.


My timing: 5:45min

A streak of bad luck

This week was a real bummer for me.

I had my rest day on Sunday. Then food poisoning struck when I was out with my girls on that same evening. On that same evening, after having a terrible stomachache, I realised I left my gym bag in the toilet. By the time I got there, it was GONE. ;_; Had 2 drinks after that to lighten up the sadness and well, it was a rare girls' night out. =p


Due to the food poisoning, I took another day off from working out on Monday to fully recover. Thank god the food poisoning was mild.:)


Today's Tuesday and I really needed to hop on the workout train again. I was going crazy from all the illnesses and stress. I went on teaching anyway. Right before I was going to train my client, guess what? YES, my period arrived. :( For me, my periods are rather on the heavy end. Lasting the full week. 


Thus, when I got home. I was exhausted. The cramped kicked in and I felt totally bleh. But my mind was totally nagging at me to get in my workout of the day. So, this is what I did.
