New Friday Routine : Jan-2020

It is almost three years since I’ve started going for exercise class at hougang ActiveSG, and specifically the body sculpt. All thanks to some mummies I’ve got to know from the PSG at En’s school who’s in that class, I decided to join them. Prior to that, I only attended the zumba at sengkang cc, and that’s also bcoz my Sunshine Aunty buddies jio me. Whoa.. and that was more than seven years ago!! 😄😄

Shortly after I started on body sculpt, I thought the hougang sports centre was nearer and much more convenient than venturing to sengkang cc, and stopped my zumba there. I replaced my zumba with another class at hougang.

On days I have class, I would quickly finish up my morning chores and head for class. After class, I would feel strangely more energetic and proceed to do some housework before taking my bath, then fetch En.

On days I have no class, I would dilly-dally at home & keep putting off household chores. Sometimes, even when it’s time to fetch En, I would have done nothing at home, not even my morning gongyo!😱

Therefore in an attempt to be more productive in an enjoyable way, I enrolled for more exercise classes. And unexpectedly, I’ve became a rather active person!!

Last year, this girl whom I got to know from one class, suddenly suggested that I join her in another class at sengkang ActiveSG. Jokingly she said I would probably enjoy that class too since I enjoy sweating so much!! 🤣 That sparked my curiosity and I went to find out more about her suggested class. Well, that class works on something I loathed—mid and lower body!! 🤔🤔 and bcoz I hate it, that’s also my weakest areas. Should I challenge myself? 

Well, I sat on it for months, then thought I’ll juz give it a try! At the same time, I signed up for a second piloxing class again, after stopping for almost half a year. Which means my two sengkang ActiveSG classes are almost back-to-back with only half an hour rest in-between.. Gosh, what did I juz set myself up for???! 😓😓

Sat, 18 January 2020 — 1 day after my first piloxing and power agt back-to-back, I’m almost disabled as my lower back is sooo sore that I could not toss in bed last night!! In fact it was so bad that I even needed efforts to straighten both my legs last night!! Almost thought I’ve injured myself until Victor said I moved the same way as Xuan, whom I’ve brought to the gym with me to do a sweat lower body workout on Thursday night!! 🤣🤣 I think this is DOM & not an injury.. phew!!

Sun, 19 January 2020 — recalling my earlier days & the reason why I bought 2xu tights, I put on a pair the night before to accelerate my recovery. Well, my lower body felt a lil’ more mobile, especially my some warming up. But squatting down & bending over still felt like Frankenstein.. I think I’ll need a couple more days to fully recover ) :

Mon, 20 January 2020 — struggled out of bed not bcoz I’ve got exercise, but bcoz En needs to go to school. Surprisingly, I’m almost agile again!! Yaaay!! I should have no problem attending today’s class again, and I should have put on my magical 2xu tights the moment I felt my legs weren’t quite mine to order about!! 😂😂

Okay, I’ve gotten over the first of my new Friday routine of 2 siong classes. I shall persevere and see if I become a stronger person as a result of this new routine!!
