I am turning into such an exercise junkie.
After signing up with Fitness First, I find myself planning gym excursions on an almost daily basis. It helps that FF has a location just across the road from my current office.

It’s rather addictive, this whole gym business, especially Bodycombat classes. There’s always a new song to learn and the combinations of the moves keep both your body and mind active throughout the entire one hour. The good thing about this place is that the group exercise room is really small and the instructor can see each and every one of the participants, unlike California Fitness where it can get packed like sardines and the instructor is standing somewhere far away on a stage. But the good thing about California Fitness is that the gym-goers are usually young adults who are somewhat enthusiastic and enjoy yelling, which makes it a hilarious experience. And man, with the smaller room, I can see myself all too clearly in the mirror and I look like a praying mantis! It’s those long, bony limbs, I tell you.

But well, the regular exercise seems to have paid off. In the almost two months that I started gymming at least three times a week, my weight has almost moved to the 39kg mark. Given that I haven’t weighed myself in yonks now, that figure looks pretty good. At the rate I am going, it may not be too long before I finally hit 40. (Note to self: must continue eating five meals a day - right, Pinkbee colleague?)

I have to admit though, I am kind of a wuss. I have been wanting to try out Bodypump and Bodybalance classes but I lack the guts. Pump because I have no arm muscles to speak of. Back in my school days, I used to have problems lifting up the stupid medicine ball (if you spell it that way), my biceps and triceps are weak. Balance because, well, my flexibility is severely limited.

Okay, time to pack my things. And it’s off for combat class tomorrow after work!
