Should you keep fit?

Hellew.

How's everybody doing?

I had a good hill workout earlier today. New year resolution in the process. But I can't be too sure yet. I'll give myself til June. If I manage to pass June, I'll pat myself at the back. If I pass December, I'll buy myself a super expensive sports gear. Or anything expensive. I came to realize, I enjoy it more doing workouts outdoor. The fresh air is good and no one really stares at you and think what the hell is she doing. I'm not literally saying that going to places like the gym is no good. It's just that when I'm there, especially when I'm alone, I kinda feel that I don't belong. Prolly, it's just self-insecurity kicking in.

As I mentioned before I do crossfit trainings. The getfit crossfit. *Although I've been slacking alot the past two months. Can't say I'm proud, believe me. We would usually do it outdoor. Despite rain or shine. You guys should check it out. You can start by going to www.getfitcrossfit.com. When I was in uni, I do jog. I wasn't a full time jogger, but I do jog. I kinda like jogging compared to any other workouts. So I can say I pretty much had low upper strength. Well almost nil actually. Can't even do a single push-up. Come on. But after I joined getfit when I do burpees (youtube it) I can do it with a proper push up.* Not so low. But yeah, good enough for a skinny chick like me.

Keeping fit is fun. Not only it boosts your confidence it keeps you healthy. I did a little research on the benefits of keeping healthy and I can assure you, after reading them you would wana consider starting tomorrow.

Going back to what I was saying at the beginning. I went for hill running/walking earlier today with a friend at Sg Liang. Seriously, I think I kinda missed out on a good place. The place is really good. Can't wait to go again next week.

I did a little research on hill training as well. Interesting what it can do to your lower body.

But hills are good for you and they’re good for your running. Training on hills improves leg-muscle strength, quickens your stride, expands stride length, develops your cardiovascular system, enhances your running economy and can even protect your leg muscles against soreness. In short, hill running will make you a stronger, faster and healthier runner. What’s more, the benefits are relatively quick to take effect. In as little as six weeks of regular hill training you can expect a significant improvement in your muscle power and speed

In six weeks!Woot!! *Provided we do it atleast twice a week I think

And you know whats good about doing out door exercises? It's FREE. Ok, maybe not for getfit. But then, even so, it is still cheap.

I took some pictures of today. You guys can have a look of how pretty the place is. Prolly, next time go there and do hill training. And if we happen to pass by say hi.

That's all for now. Toodles.

She's just  happy

P/s: The only fear now is when a person has two jobs, on most days, they don't really have time to do much of anything else other than work.
