Arghh...I needed a diversion of some sort from the daily grind in life. So I thought going back to the gym would be a welcome change to the daily routine of walking/running for me. For a start it doesn't cost much, can mingle with people, good for the body, mind and soul. As I rummaged around my pile of clothes, looking for my old faithful gym pants, my first thought was will I be able to fit in it. After many months of absence, there are bound to be flabs slowly creeping back in unwanted places. Urgh...it's obvious around the mid section, the thighs and the bums. I've been absent from the gym for a long long time (do I sound like a gym drop out)? Going back there is like going back to the basics of exercising. I was a regular member there for a couple of years before someone emm...ask me to join marathon. But it was ok cos running is also fun and good for stamina and endurance and it's free.
So here I was on the 1st day of class and it was pouring wet when I reach the gym. Nothing has changed much. The regulars gave me a surprise look when I made my entry hahah...and the friendlier ones ask me eh...long time never see you lah. What can I say but the truth, right?
After 50 mins of aerobic, strength workout with dumb bell and fit ball, I am fully energize again and I hope after a couple of repeated classes I will be able to run better and ahh...faster or further perhaps???
Yoga class is next week and I am prepared to be stretch, stretching and stretched. After all it will do me more good than harm.
