Driven by Gym-ercise

Recently, I was intrigued by the new TRX Suspension Training which was available at the gym. However, as it is a fairly new class, I decided to give it a miss for now to avoid the crowds. Here's what it is anyhow... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcs6gm_workout-wednesday-the-trx-suspensio_webcam . This ones really tough.

So instead, I made a little investment in the Loopz - an exercise band that is used for strength and flexibility training by working against your own body weight. Loopz is really handy and it comes along with a DVD guide and a poster of mini workouts. I tried them out and love it!



The little yellow label is printed with "Property of....." and a Loopz logo to personalise your very own Loopz. Cute! Anyone in for Loopz? http://www.wureka.com/index.php

Back to Blogging...I hope it's here to stay.

Suddenly I feel like it again - It's been 2 years now...here are some updates.

My baby daughter is now a chatty 2 year old toddler....the past 2 years has been a fairly well balanced routine. With GREAT APPRECIATION to my MOTHER who has unconditionally given her all for us.

Mom who has been working most of her life quit her job a month after Beth aka BK was born to be a full-time stay home Mother and Grandma. - We are extremely fortunate. A few of the million things she does from taking care of Beth's freshly homemade meals, daily laundry, housekeeping and being BK's companion - Mom does a fabulous job at it. BK amazes me each weekend with new words or action she's learnt (more about BK in her Blog - coming to you soon).

Weekends are Mom's 'off-days' so I get to spend quality time with BK. This means, where ever I decide to go, it has to be 'Beth-Friendly'. Thanks to accommodating friends who un-hesitatingly made their way down to where was at my convenience for a quick catch-up. Sometimes I returned home and realized that there was much that I wanted to chat about but didn't in the end as most of the time was focusing on BK - making sure she doesn't grab the fork on the table or pick food OFF the table. Sorry friends for my short attention spans - It just means we have to meet up more often to 'cover' more topics =)

Well lately I have ended my career in the hotel industry after 8 years - I'll tell you truthfully, I miss it...but BK's prority now so I know I've made the right move especially with support & advice from special people in my life who have never failed to be there for me and cared for mine and my family's well-being, even though they were not obliged too. My current job allows me more time with BK and at least I can have a decent dinner at home on weekdays too.

Last but not least, I'm still gymming as I did since my last blog 2 years ago. This time, no more threadmill running instead I've changed the training method - Body Pump (weight-lifting with barbells - lots of squats and lunges, bicep curls..ahhh i feel the adrenaline already!), Body Combat (combination of martial art techniques - POWER Cardio workout I say!) and occassionally Body Balance (little of Yoga, Pilates and Tai-Chi each - Good stretching here!).

Gotta turn in now, for tommorrow is the weekend and I can't wait to doodle with BK.
