Did pilates the night before and in the morning when I woke up. I must say, the effect was intense targetting at my abdomen, accompanied by regular jogging/skipping rope.
Guess what, both sides of my waist have clearly sunk in in just 3 days!
Mommy was shocked when she thought she saw abs.
Interestingly, I signed up for a meetup group which organises regular outdoor workouts.
So I went for my first challenge - stair climbing!
30-storeys HDB blocks. 4 times repeatedly.
Total = 120 storeys for an hour.
Surprisingly, you tend to sweat way much more compared to regular jogging. Resisting against the gravity, lifting your limbs up higher each step.
Milestone
Tada! *vain*
Alright, move aside...
On top of the building
Very intensive for a beginner. Even with proper warm-ups beforehand, my legs wobbled after the whole event. My leg muscles, knee joints and ankles were a little uncomfortable.
The whole event was challenging and fun despite such! The seniors were friendly and welcoming though I'm the only youngster that evening. They are also very generous in sharing their sports adventure! :D
Stairs-climbing group!
Since I'm going to continue my self-motivating training, I bought 2 knee support bands to protect my joints. Only $3.80 from nipponya!
Prevention is better than cure, isn't it? :)
Good news: Progression for my backbone. I finally stand straight! Automatically!
How do I know? Cos' I leaned against wall every 15min to make sure things didn't go back to square. Quite obsessive but it works! Hee..
Muscle memory. They are built around the new bone position if you kept doing it.
When I tried to slough, it felt so awkward and returned to the straight position automatically.
Idiot proof. Do it for 3 days continuously, every day, every minute and every second!
Discipline plays a big role here. You have to persevere. Starting can be painful. I was a little depressed when my shoulder muscles hurted after the first day. It is normal to feel so.
But I kept persevering and it doesn't hurt anymore! :)
Believe in yourself and you can do it. For hunchbackies, you aren't alone!
Now I need to take note of my cervical area. Slightly forwarded neck and doing neck push back exercises every hour.
Gonna wake up for jogging tmr. Good night!
Note: Due to fire outbreak at SingTel facility, I only get to post this 3 days later. :/
