At last, I have signed up in a local fitness centre in Sri Petaling as it is the nearest to me and the monthly payment is the most affordable for me. I've been always wanted to join one because I wanted to make sure that I have a healthy body and a good looking frame.
The equipments there are now not 100% full yet as it is at its pre-opening now and it will fully open in September.
Anyway, I too enrolled in its Personal Trainer Program (P.T. Program) for 3 levels. It's rather costly for this but I'm sure with the help of my instructor, I can strike my goal as soon as possible. The area I want to work out is my chest, abs, shoulder and to have a balanced body. BTW, my instructor is called Yuz. Yuz checked my percentage of fat in my body and I have 17.6% which is at the good level. A normal person has an average percentage of 14-18% fat level. What I need now is to gain muscle weight. I'm sure Yuz can help me to achive my goal.
I've just started a short period of training with him yesterday and I've already feel the desire to go further. This was what I did yesterday as a starting :-
1) Cardio warm up for 20 minutes.
2) Then 3 sets of bridge, push ups and sit ups with 1 minute interval in between.
I've set my first level as below :
Bridge (1 minute 10 seconds)
Push ups (15)
Sit Ups (15)
Stretching (15 seconds)
These three workouts are done back-to-back rotatedly.
According to Yuz, this was at an average level.
3) After that, I did 2 sets of quadriceps workout with 1 minute interval in between, and 2 sets of hamstring workout.
4) Then continue with 2 sets of chest workout with 1 minute interval in between.
Actually I'm not sure yet what is the name of the machine/ equipment because I'm still new to the activity. (I'll update the names here after I got to know the names.)
BTW, according to my instructor, the level I am in now is ok and can be upgraded in the nearest future as I just started the first time.
After those workouts, I rest for awhile and had a steam bath for 10 minutes.
It's really an enjoyable time knowing what I'm doing in the gym. I want to strike my goal as soon as possible.
