Gym: Week 1!

Firstly, this is my 100th post, I wanna say a big THANK YOU to anyone and everyone that reads this! :)
It's comforting to be able to share the thoughts in my mind that are too twisted for me to say out loud to the people around me :P


So remember I was considering whether or not to join the gym some time back? Well I took that leap of faith and went with it. So here I am talking about my very first week in a commercial gym!! Hahaha I'm such a virgin ;)

DAY 1
I walked into the place with an excited puppy mentality, but of course I tried to look all chilled on the outside. Wasn't a lot of people there because of the time I went. The changing room and showers were clean and looked decent. I didn't see anything cruisy at all. No hot bodies also. Spent some time on the treadmill and basically walked around to get used to the surroundings.

DAY 2
I went for an aerobic class called Ritmo Zum, which is something like Zumba. And OH MY GOD the instructor is a serious piece of man meat + eye candy. I'm not kidding, I'm sure you guys will be drooling when you see him... radiant skin, obviously toned body, combined with a cute face and smile. The best part was the dance that we did involved a lot of sexy moves like swaying and shaking of the hips (think Shakira) so I was basically staring at his ASS the whole time and smiling like an idiot!!
On another note, I thought the choreography was a little fast to catch for a newbie. The instructor's name is Eu Jinn, I highly recommend that you guys go for his class and ogle away!!!
Also I noticed some hot looking bodies in the changing room. Plus when I got home, I totally did a full cyber search on Eu Jinn and found his fb profile and went through his profile pictures YUM YUM because we had mutual friends haha! OMG I'm such a bitch.

DAY 3
Yeah, on the 3rd consecutive day I went at night for the Les Mills RPM class, which is a group cycling exercise, with simulations of going through different kinds of terrain (highway, hills) by adjusting the resistance on the bike so you can feel the added push. By far the toughest class yet. The studio was stuffy and I got nauseous after some time... maybe I pushed myself too hard or didn't catch my breath properly. Thankfully I didn't puke, and was able to last till the end. Could definitely feel the burn in the thighs! The instructor was quite inspiring and was singing along to the music.

DAY 4
Haha yes I went again on the following day, because I had a pre arranged complimentary personal training session when I signed up for the membership. The trainer was a friendly Malay guy, and I asked him tons of questions and gained some valuable information about working out.
We used some of the equipment that involved training the thighs, lower back and biceps. Because I'm underweight and lack physical strength in general, some of the exercises we did was actually quite challenging.
Obviously after that we had the 'talk' which was expected, telling me to sign up for their package and stuff. I already knew it was super expensive, so I just told him I would think about it. There is one more free session next week, will see how that goes.


After reaching home that day, I actually had a low self esteem moment... because I realized how fit most of the members in the gym already are, with the awesome bodies and stuff, and then you look in the mirror and ughhhh it's like geeezzz I really should eat more and build some muscles.

But then I realize the fact that I joined the gym is already taking a step forward. I joined because I wanted to improve my fitness, stamina and also to gain some weight and increase my muscle mass. So the only person that I need to compete with is myself, and I set the goals for myself. That I can do, because discipline has always been one of my strong points. No one pushes me harder than myself.

I don't need to compare my body with other people, because I don't know what they went through. Those guys with awesome bodies probably put themselves through hell with dedication and hours upon hours of hard work. In other words, they deserve what they have and I totally respect that. And if I want to be like that I need to pay my dues too.

Hahaha I just gave myself a pep talk!!

Well this is just the first week and I still have a long long way to go. I might be going again tomorrow to try the Step class. And I still wanna have a go at Body Combat and see what it's all about.

At least I'm enjoying the process so far! :)
Do you guys remember your first week at the gym? Was it like my experience?
