Corn Flakes!

I like corn flakes. Do you like corn flakes? I like corn flakes. Corn flakes in the morning, lunchtime, merienda, dinner and even for midnight snacks. It’s something I can keep eating for ten days straight without having internal hemorrhage!

Gymnasticks!

Filed under: Health and Fitness — Pipboy at 1:51 pm on Thursday, August 17, 2006

Picked up a pointer about gymnastics today while at the gym (where gymnastic is my term for everything i do in the gymnasium ~ i.e. cardio, machine, weights).

Jonski told me about the importance of following your workout schedule. If your training plan says “Do this only thrice a week,” you should do it at least and only three times a week. Anything less and you won’t feel the benefits of the workout. Anything more and you’ll be in a lot of pain after a few months. The rest days are there to allow your muscles to recover and regenerate.

As I am inexperienced and new to this thing, I shall obediently follow my trainer whose program and motivation has proven effective.

Moro Gym: Week 1 (230)

Filed under: Health and Fitness — Pipboy at 4:37 pm on Sunday, July 23, 2006

After a week of working out at Moro Gym, this is the first day that I’m skipping attendance. It’s just too bad that Moro is only open in the morning during Sundays. I would have wanted to go there today this afternoon for a light workout.

<informative>

For those who want to know, Moro Lorenzo Gym’s schedule at Ateneo is:

6:00 a.m. – 9:30 p.m. (Monday-Friday)
8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. (Saturday)
8:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon (Sunday)

My membership cost me P1,428 ~ that’s one month of gym and cardio machine use. You get a discount for quarterly, semi-annual and annual subscription of services.

No matter, the first month of my gym experience is part of a discovery process to find out what times of the day for each day of the week is it best to work out. I want to know the times when the gym is empty, full and full of … *moving on*

This is the first time I’ve enrolled in a gym. John, my instructor, designed a workout targetting my core muscles - something to strenghten my weak back and knees. Moreover, such workout will prepare me for future muscle specific workouts - i.e. biceps, legs, abs and all that jazz.

I was supposed to jog within the village this morning, but since I woke up late, there was no squeezing that into our family’s Sunday morning church habit. The afternoon wasn’t kind to me too. The heavy rains were too much for my rainy day battle gear. Mehn, I’m missing the Moro treadmill so much already… A TV in front of you, adjustable treadmill speed and inclines, Miami Heat beside you, arghhhhhhh! I need to work out!
