Power Hi Lo and Body Combat

Monday - I attended the Power Hi Lo class which was more of aerobic moves. This class is less interesting to me as the moves are more on coordinating the body movements and less muscle building.

Tuesday - I attended the Body Combat and it is one of my favourite classes. It is more on exercising the muscle of the whole body. The most memorable phrase is "Combat Stand".

In both of these classes, I noticed that I have difficulty in coordinating my body movement - moving the correct side of the body. Sometimes left I go right and vice versa. I guess I shall take some time to adjust my brain parallel with my body.

Workout Classes!!!

For the past three days, I've been going to classes in my gym. The first class was the Kick-boxing class. It was tiring yet FUN! This class helped to burn fat and exercise muscle groups such as the abs, the legs and the arms.

Another class I attended was the Heat Zone. This time, it was intructed by a lady instructor. Four equipments that were used : rope, a pair of 1.25kg and a pair of 2.5kg, and also a step board. The main work out was burning fat. During the rope-skipping session, I could really feel the heat burn inside me! Need lots of water to rehydrate. The best part was the "boxing" part - less tiring but more exercising. After the main routines, the cooling down was the most suffering one where I had to do sit ups in different positions for abs! Burning, burning inside me!!!

The last class I attended was the cycling class. It was called Free Spin. Great exercise for burning fat, increasing cardio as well as toning and shaping the legs, hips and butt. It can help to gain leg strength and muscular endurance too without building bulk. It's a great workout for me!

I am looking forward to attend more classes and share my experience here...

Heat Zone

I attended the Heat Zone class last Wednesday. It was a one-hour session of workout for the whole body which I think is good for muscle building and cardio as well.

There were eight workouts to be done and each type of workouts should be done in a duration of three minutes. I started with squats, followed by chest lift, rowing, cardio steps, shoulder press, bicep lift, tricep extension and sit-ups.

Reminder : each workout must be done continuously three minutes each.
