Goin to gym

Yesterday afternoon, after being persuaded and influenced by my labmates for several weeks, I decided to go to the uni gym with them after lab. Because I was caught up with my boss just before I was leaving the lab, I arrived at the gym to find that the treadmills were all occupied. Well, that was my initial intention to go for gym (treadmills), to do some jogging to build up my stamina. I feel that my stamina is poor especially during dance practices or when I climb staircases to get to my lab which is 4 levels above ground. And it seems I'm getting sick more easily than before, plus, I'm getting older. So, I thought maybe it's time that I start to do some exercise in the name of 'health'.


I entered the gym to find out the it is actually quite well equipped.

My labmates doing treadmills (below)

Chia doing the bicycle thing (above). I tried this too. For 15 minutes? I think less than that. I started to feel 'acidic' in my legs after only about 3-5 mins. Lousy me.


I followed Chia later to the aerobic section when the instructor arrived. There, I followed the 'step up' or 'stepper' (not sure what it is called) aerobic session for about an hour. There's a piece of solid platform that you need to step up and down, doing some movements while following the rhythms. To be honest, I enjoy this more than doing the 'bicycle' thing. I guess maybe because of the music and the counts that make it interesting and not dull (similar to dancing). I could really feel the 'burning' inside my body after 20 minutes. The result of an hour of aerobic dance? Legs covered with 'counterpain' cream last night + tired legs this morning. Anyway, hope I could keep it up (I mean exercising). Smart brain comes with a healthy body. So, stay healthy and fit!
