This is how I started my gym life (Part1)

Most of you guys surely think that I am actually forcing myself to go work out everyday after office hour. For sure you guys would think that a weak and lazy bug like me, working out in gym almost everyday, for sure believing in a concept of ' Since I've invested that much of money, I must get back the same value of rewards from it'.....

What a 'kiasu' attitude. If this is what you guys thinking of me, then I can say that you all really misunderstand me all this while. But it is fine as you guys didn't know how I started my gym life.

Actually before I joined the gym centre, I practised yoga at William & Luisa Dance Centre once a week every monday with a fee of RM50 per month. I am so in love with Yoga. Hence later on, I made up my mind to practise it twice a week for a fee of RM90 per month. Right before the additional enrolment, I got to know that this gym centre, My fitness, would be opened in Endah Parade soon. It offered almost the same pricing of RM90 per month averagely with unlimited access..... so worth it. I found that compartively, it actually held more Yoga classes than the place where I used to practise. So, I made up my mind to enrol it, with 1 year binding contract.

For the first few week, I joined all the Yoga classes provided there, averagely once a day......which include, Astanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Sivananda Yoga, Power Yoga, Pilates and Yoga-lates.

Well, below is my personal findings and opinion on each type of yoga I joined.......

1. Astanga Yoga - Combines exercise, relaxation and meditation evenly

2. Hatha Yoga - Concerntrate on exercise and movement

3. Sivananda Yoga - Posture correction typed

4. Vinyasa Yoga - Focus on partnering and equipment assisted during the practise

5. Power Yoga - High intensity type, required more energy..... whole body feeling sore after the class for days

6. Pilates - Focus on toning up the lower body (abs and legs)

7. Yoga-lates - Yoga + pilates

Generally, I thinkYoga is good in training up our internal strength, promoting concerntration, focus and relaxation. Besides, it also helps to tone up our body and assist in stress management. I always feel fresh and re-charged after the practise session.

Recently, the centre introduced additional new slow-motion typed exercise including elemant, gentle flow and body flow. Unfortunately I haven't got the opportunity to join those classes as my schedule is quite full at the mean time. Oh ya, there is a type of slow-motion class which I left out, the Tai Chi class... I really never try it before coz I believe this class is specifically held for the old, I guess.

After 1 month of joining the Yoga class, I was approached by some of the gym members to join the Cardio work out class in Yang Studio. I know those classes required lots of energy, skill, stamina... but still I challenged myself for it.

My experience on it ......( to be continued)
