Theatrical Inspiration

What makes you want to workout more?

For me, my bouts of inspiration come from movies and things that happen in my daily life. As a petite girl, I do have creeps and have my wars with sexual harrassment. That drives me to be fitter, better and fiercer. That is why I train hard. So that I don't have to rely on others to protect me. Sucker Punch, the movie, shows exactly how much pain and sexual harassment can drive a girl to want to be stronger.

Gym time.

In Singapore, we have community center gyms. Basically a well equipped gym that allows people to use it on a per entry basis for a small fee. I paid $4 for a peak hour rate at Bt Panjang CC gym. Remind me to go at off peak hours next time 'cause crowds can mean more stress to think about which exercise to do next if you can't do the exercises you have planned.

Personal Time: Current workout sequences and lessons I've learnt

A post before I head to bed.

How little exercise do I need a week?

Exactly how LITTLE exercise do you need a week?

According to studies such as this one, you may just need to exercise 1 minute of exercise A WEEK! 

Basic Equipment To Excel In Fitness Goals.

Most of us turn to magazines like SHAPE or Fitness Magazine or the Internet to get fit. But as you search for the "perfect workout", "workouts that save time and money", "workouts that will burn 1000000 calories in 30 minutes" or "workouts that will firm your tush/back/arms/waist/legs"

However, most of us end up not doing workouts because you either need gym equipment or a bench. Well, to follow my workouts, you need to have these few pieces of equipment. They are inexpensive and they fit into a $150 budget.

Super Setting! - My scores

After Saturday's workout, I started to feel the onset of overtraining. I have a tendency to overtrain, and that's my biggest downfall in achieving my goals. I end up breaking down my muscles instead of creating them due to too much training and inadequate fuelling and rest. Thus, I had to sit down and plan my schedule well for this week.
