Miracle '08

This is the second time I joined the Miracle from Fitness First, but it's the first time I'm on my own all the time, because there wasn't anyone that knew me or I knew that could be with me. Just like sometimes what I am in the situation when I'm in the class. One of my buddy was the volunteered committee, she gotta work that day, so couldn't join the class.

Being in the class outdoor in public, was really a special experience for me. You gotta hold yourself until the end, otherwise you'll be embarrassing yourself among all the people around you. But I realized for being stopped for a long while, my stamina is getting worse, and couldn't really hold me until the end. It's bad, but I still gotta stay strong, tried my hard to follow the steps, but it really hurt, specially my muscles.

I've decided to stop the class for a while. If I really couldn't maintain to be there regularly, rather than paying them every month but not going. But I still don't want to terminate it. I hope that after next month, I can still maintain myself in the place, at least once a week.

Miracle is a charity programme, it raised fund for the children, as well as the China earthquake victims. I've contributed some to the programme. Hopefully next year I can join again, and also hopefully next time, I can find some more 'buddies' to be there with me.

Jam the room~~

It's been quite a long time since I last joined the BodyJam class. I still remember, if not mistaken, it was Clement's class.

I like to dance -- or to be more exact, I like to watch people dance, so my favourite singer is Justin Timberlake. I'm not good in dancing, this has been proven when I was not chosen to perform on stage in primary school. Although I've tried my best to perform well, maybe I just do not have the talent.

But I really like the rhythmic dancing move followed by the music, and everybody enjoy themselves in the class. If it's not in a studio like this, I would have thought I've come to a disco. Of course, joining a 'dancing' class with a combat outfit is quite weird, and furthermore it's also a big move if compared to combat. I really could expect a severe muscle pain on the next day.

But who cares? I really enjoyed it!

Combat @ Uptown

This is my first visit to Uptown, since I've joined FF for > 1 year. Actually its studio is quite small, compared with other clubs, even smaller than KLCC's. But I like the instructor, Renee. She is energetic, powerful and lively. Her tracks never boring, nor too exhausted. I still could bear with it, although I really got serious muscle pain today.... ouch~~!

Wonder if my friend who joined the intructor training has finished her training and become an instructor now. I missed her team teach classes, not even had time to join her class. Instructor, still ten million miles away from me, I think, for the moment, it shall be the best for me if I could attend the class punctually every week.

Back to Combat

It's been almost 3 months I was away from my Combat class, I didn't even attend any clubs for since last November -- if not mistaken.

The first Combat class I joined after a long rest, really exhausted me, I couldn't even hold myself up along the class, I had to take a break in the middle, 'sneaked' out of the studio, and then went back after a few minutes. Is it a sign of aging? T_T

Luckily the next class I joined was Balanced. It's more relaxing than keep crossing, jabbing and jumping. But the stretching thing also almost killed me... ><

Guys, it's time for you to get exercise before your body get aged and regressive.

Workout

I attended the class again. Although it's very tiring, I still try my best to attend the class every weekend, and this is what I can do at the moment.

The combat class in KLCC has been changed, since their previous instructor has dropped. Now SPK will be my new place for combat. The attendees for the class had inscreased, maybe some of them were from the KLCC club. I like the atmosphere, where everybody is enjoying themselves in the class, following the music and the beat, moving and working hard. That's why I like to be in here, although without any companion.

I have some friends joining the instructor training course, some of them has passed almost all the tests. I don't always meet them in the class because sometimes we are going to different clubs. I used to have a friend joining classes with me, but all left me alone. Although joining the class alone is somehow lonely, but I still have the passion and the perseverance to keep it on, haven't thought of quitting yet.

That day, I had a chance to have a small talk with our instructor. He advised me to join the pump class, although I still think it's quite heavy to me, maybe I'll have a try someday.

Combat Rocks!

Jab, cross, upper cut, hook, combat stance, invasive sidekick....... do you know these terms? It's specially for a group exercise I'm learning in the fitness center. It's a combination movement of kick-boxing, martial arts, Tai-Chi, Tae Kwan Do, Karate and so on. But of course, even you do very good in the class, it doesn't mean that you are a kungfu 'master' and can start 'fighting'...... I don't think even the instructor can do so... :P

The first group class I joined in this center was Body Jam, which is more in dancing movement. Although I prefer dancing than kungfu fighting, I mostly join the Combat class and because of this, I got to know and be friend with some of the club members and even current and future instructor (those who are taking the instructor training).

I think my weakness is my body is not strong enough to hold myself throughout the class. One of the movement that I still can't make it even after 1 years in the class is -- push up.

I hope that I can get improvement in the coming days. I don't expect to become as good like those instructors, but at least, it's not "char kuey teow" movement anymore.
