In continuation of my 30 mins assessment with my personal trainer Lucius I started my 1st 2 sessions within the same week. (You can read about the assessment & my updates via Whatsapp on my diet –> HERE).
However I got an injury from the filming of the last episode of The Influencer and further aggravated the injury on the race day for the Maxis Bloggers Blaze.
To cut the long story short, PT was halted for the last 2 weeks though I did continue with lighter exercises. I’m the sort who can’t stop exercising at all, even if I have injuries. For me, if I don’t sweat for 2 days, I’ll be one hell of a cranky bitch. 😀
I’m going to monitor my progress using this blog as an “online diary”. Since my Personal Training sessions are scheduled to begin again this week, here’s a quick recap of my 1st 2 sessions.
Each session lasts an hour.
Day 1: Personal Training lessons @ #CelebrityFitness 11th December 2013.
If you don’t already know, my trainer is Lucius, who I’ll get to pose for a picture SOON.
5 minutes warm up.
1. 10kg each side (20kg) bar on shoulders squats – 10 reps x 3 sets
2. TRX band pull ups – 10 reps x 4 sets
3. Full push ups – 10 reps x 4 sets
4. Kettlebell swing – 10 reps x 4 sets
Then:
5. 50 burpees
6. 50 sit ups
7. 50 leg raises
All done in one hour with minimal breaks.
Day 2: Personal Training lessons @ #CelebrityFitness 13th December 2013.
1. Push ups 7,8,8,8 ( I HATE PUSH UPS but my trainer Lucius seems to be extremely fond of it! 🙁 )
2. TRX row 4 sets x 10 reps
3. Chest Press (machine) 4 sets x 12 reps (10)
4. Pulldown (machine) 4 sets x 10 reps (12)
5. TRX Tricep Extension 3 sets x 12 reps
6. TRX biceps curl 3 sets x 12 reps
**TRX here means using the TRX bands that hangs from the ceiling to perform variety of exercises using your body weight.
3 supersets:
Ab rollout 10 reps
Alternating Regressed v-ups 20 reps
This is the ab rollout. Looks easy but it wasn’t! 🙂
For those of you who are contemplating a “new” body – being healthier, fitter, leaner – would you like to join me at the gym?
This is usually how I feel after a workout. I felt energized, happy and ready on take on the day! 😀
looks good even when exercising! I love going to the gym too! I go everyday but absent for a whole month of december haha! Did some swimming couple of days ago & Back to the Gym this monday hehe. =D
Great! Gym at your condo?
No wonder you always look absolutely gorgeous! 😀
you’re an inspiration, becky! if i actually start exercising this year, it might be thanks to you and reading these posts! 😀
LOL!
And we know u would have more time (i hope) to do so this year! 😀 😀
I used to go to CF Mid Valley. Haven’t renewed my membership in ages. Sigh… Would’ve love to join again, and maybe get a PT too. *if only I can afford it* 😉
Morning Lina!
The 1st step is to start again, go for classes, get your groove back 🙂
Once you got that going, then you can consider PT, etc
For now just ensure you set workout times for yourself each week and hit that target first. Having said that, if you can afford it, then go for PT cos he/she (your PT) will keep you focused and train you correctly so you’ll achieve your fitnes goals in half the time! 🙂
If u’re nearby 1U, I can recom some really good classes (because the instructors rocks!). HAhah!
i tot i’m the one when don’t get sweat, thinking something is not right. good to know that you are a well.. have read this in theory but now it make sense..
time for gym this evening, gotta sacrifice the secret life of walter mitty tho!
Hahaha funny la u Kevin!
Ok, sacrificing a movie for gym is worth it ok! Exercise will keep your mind clear and you’ll be more productive in your biz. The movie can wait 😛
I haven’t watched Walter Mitty myself.
no la wei, Becky the movie is awesome.. so they say.so it’s a must watch list.
yeah – had a real workout over this weekend. got out all the toxic out…
keep pushing the limit becky!
You’re fit already Becky! But I guess one can never be too hot eh? 🙂
You’re so inspiring. You write, you travel, you take superb photos.. and you are so discipline too!
Eat and exercise. It’s so simple isn’t it?
Sad not many people do that.
I try to eat in moderation (u ain’t helping at all with your /instagram pics!) and exercise 3 times a week, and I have managed to control my weight gain.
Now I just have to lose some fat on the tummy!
I can’t wait to read and see the pics of your on-going PT sessions. Flash some abs soon ok becky?
Can see that you’re toned. Are you trying to compete in a marathon or some sort of race or just general fitness?
You’re fitter than me. You’re seriously making me feeling self conscious now. LOL
The last picture of u is so cute! 😀
U look really good becky! Writes well, takes fabulous pictures & have the personality too!
Lookin good babe, looking really good!
Sexy becky. See u soon for brunch?
