1N1 Personal Fitness Studio

After reading my previous blog (Mee Udang Mak Jah), I felt more calories and fats built up in me; causing my tummy to bloat even more *sigh*...and so I made the toughest, most unimaginable thing which never ever crossed my mind.......which is to join the gym! And to prove that I am serious about getting rid of this blubber, I chose to sign up for a 1 on 1 personal trainer!! My buddy, Lydia had warned me that having a personal trainer is going to be tough as they will push you as much as they can...I know...WTF (where's the frog?) right??

This is the entrance to the Fitness Studio in Mid Valley

Actually I saw this deal on Groupon - for 5 sessions (I love buying stuff on Groupon!) and I thought that they gave a good deal and it's the right time for me to try out this shit...hahah...mind my language...therefore I bought 2...2 vouchers as I needed to drag my bf as well *I would not want to go through all the pain on my own right?* like what we always heard..

"....To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part...."

And so, we went for our first training. I admit that I was kind of nervous, especially when I saw those people with huge muscular body all around the studio. But my trainer, "Kid" is quite gentle on me...the first 10 minutes that is.  

I was pushed to do cycling(15mins non stop), squats(the worst!), rowing machine(I was able to do this!) and push ups (a failure-I can't even stay up to 4 sec!). At the end of the day, my whole body was aching and shaky and it was only for 1 hour! I thought it had been the whole afternoon 3 hours!!

The next day was much interesting, my trainer promised to let me try Muay Thai (The art of Self Defense which is famous in Thailand). I personally love to try kickboxing, but Kid said that Muay Thai is more interesting as its more of a fighter than  a coward defender. Thus I was geared up with the red cloth wrapped all around my fingers and wrists to avoid injuries. I was pretty excited as I look quite cool *cough* until he asked me to do a warm up...which was to skip using a basic skipping rope...for 400x!!! I tripped and whined and screamed throughout the whole process..it took me forever to complete it! When it was over, I was drenched!

This was how my trainer wrapped my hand to avoid injuries. I don't wanna end up with a broken fingers.

The end result. Pretty cool huh?

But then came the exciting part. I was geared up with the 'macho' boxing gloves and he taught me the basic movement of standing, walking, jabbing, punching and proper postures in a boxing ring---Muay Thai way!

My gloves!

The Boxing Ring. Care for a battle anyone?

It was fun super tiring and at the end of the session, my knuckles were sore and red! It hurts badly but I really enjoyed it and decided to enroll for a Muay Thai class. Yay!
