new obsession

 

Ok semua tau kan, I memang suka pergi gym. No secret here.

 

Sampaikan I panggil gym = my happy place (butik handbag pun I tak panggil my happy place okay). Yelah memang happy kalau dapat workout keluarkan peluh. Lepas tu ldapat ayan sauna kat gym pulak kan, memang best and rasa relaks sangat. That's the only 'ME' time that I get anyway. The only time that I am alone and doesn't have to think. Going to the gym keeps me sane in a lot of ways trust me. Luckily encek K understands this. Sebab kalau tak faham, confirm I dah jadi Hantu Kak Limah ye. And lately a lot of friends have been asking me for some workout tips which makes me more happy coz I didn't realize I was motivating people around me to workout as well. *pat on my back* I'm not an expert, I will just share what I practice and what I know.

 

 

Tapi apa-apa pun, don't get me wrong, workout tak semestinya kena masuk gym, like one of my friend she likes running outdoor, she doesn't like working out in a gym. She even bought a stroller for her baby which is suitabke for running. I say do whatever makes you happy girl!

 

 

For me, I personally like joining the group exercise class (bodycombat, zumba, rpm classes), I hate running (tak kisahla lari atas treadmill atau lari outdoor, I - hate - running - get - it?), that's why I joined the gym for the classes. When I am doing the classes tu I tak sedar masa berlalu, tau-tau je dah 55minutes and I'm done with the class, so that's why  I like doing the classes. Kalau lari atas treadmill tu rasa macam dah lama tapi ehhh baru 15 minit sebenarnya, ehhh baru 50 calories? Rasa macam dah seribu calories je hahahah. One more thing, when I joined the class, I think I pushed myself more. Why? Coz you see all these people, and they are so pumped up following the instructor's moves, so if you are slacking in the class you should be ashamed of yourself you know.

 

 

Harini nak cerita some of my new toys for the gym which makes my workout interesting :)

 

 

The first one is my new pink Adidas shoes.

Okla it's actually not so new. But I love, love, love the shoes.

Very,very light, super comfy and it's suitable for all activities indoor (ie:in the gym).

Not really a big fan of pink but I make exception for this one as teh shoes are way too cute.

Got it for RM150.00 only from Al-Ikhsan masa sale, rasanya berbaloi-baloi sangat beli!

 

Was torn between the pink Adidas and white Nike, but I choose pink in the end!

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly, my new Lesmills tops which I bought from my Singapore trip.

Bayangkan kat KL dah sold out! Terpaksa redah semua mall kat Singapore during my business trip just to find these tops. Sungguh gigih ye tapi benci sungguh sebab kat Singapore mahal gila the tops due to the currency exchange. Tapi dah sebab suka gila terpaksa tutup mata dan bayar jelah. Confirm rasa bersemangat nak workout in these babies and nampak kurus sket ehhhhhh hahahahha.

 

My Lesmills BodyCombat and Lesmills BodyPump tops!

 

 

Kurus ker Kak Ton?

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly my most favourite toy for now:

My Polar FT7 Fitness Watch with heart rate monitor.

 

Sangat suka jam ni, highly recommended for all users especially if you are just basic users like me.

Macam I takdela nak particular sangat about fitness, as long as I know how much calories I burned during my workout sessions, and then I boleh tengok my heart rate cecah maksimum ke tidak, I am a happy girl.

 

 

Bila dah pakai jam ni barula I tau total sebenar calories burned, I did overestimate the calories burned for some classes and I did underestimate some other classes. Who knew Shbam class burns so much calories? And trust me, calories yang tunjuk kat treadmill tu selalunya tak betul and tak accurate, it is usualy showing higher calories burned, tapi sebenarnya burned sikit je and lower. Tipah teritpu! 

 

 

Bila pakai jam ni baru tau the real calories burned, so now I am more aware of my workout. So boleh agak-agak sendiri dah. I think it's worth paying RM3xx for this watch which I bought from Lazada. Investment yang berbaloi-baloi. Highly recommended for those of you who is just looking for basic fitness watch. It comes with a chest strap and cara nak pakai pun senang aje. Pakai chest strap kat dada lepas tu pakai jam and tunggu jam tu detect your heart rate.  I recommend the watch to all my friends yang serious about loosing weight, yela bila u tau how much you burned, you boleh la agak-agak berapa you kena cut kan food intake you kan, senang sikit nak bajet makan berapa banyak. Satu lagi for me bila you tengok number of calories burned kat jam tu, you akan lebih bersemangat tau tak. You akan lebih fokus nak burned lagi banyak calories. Selalunya I akan aim untuk burn minimum 500 calories untuk satu sesi senaman, biasanya 1 1/2 jam dah cukup nak burn 500 calories kalau you buat high cardio class. Hopefully korang faham my explanation ni  :)
