Gym Again

Hari ni semangat pergi gym pagi.. Pukul 6.45pagi saya dah keluar rumah.
7.45pagi dah terpacak kat depan pintu office...ingatkan orang pertama la yang sampai office. Rupa-rupa nya, supervisor saya dan Ma, a postdoc dah sampai pun.. Awal betul diorang ni pergi kerja..

Elok jer habis secawan hot chocolate, Neuza pun sampai. Dah plan semalam nak pergi dengan Neuza hari ni. Neuza ni visiting Master Student dari Portugal di lab saya. Tengah siapkan Master Degree. Lepas Neuza balik Portugal, mesti dah takde kawan pergi gym lagi...huuuu.

Kami guna crosstrainer for 30minit. Bakar kalori 376J. Sikit jer kan?? sob sob sob... Takpe, lepas ni kita bakar kasi banyak sikit lemak-lemak degil ni...

Lepas tu, workout untuk abdominal part pulak. Ada trainer tolong tunjukkan macamana cara yang betul kalau nak workout bahagian perut ni.. susah nya. Terkial-kial saya dan Neuza ni nak ikut. Takpelah... buat hari-hari InsyaAllah lepas ni boleh jadi Miss Sweden bak kata Neuza.. Erkkk

Boleh juga guna pilatte ball macam kat bawah ni.

It's look easy when the trainer showed us how to use the ball. But only after you try by ourself, you will know how difficult it is. The things is maybe bacause I'm not familiar to use the ball, and also maybe because of my big tummy... heeee.

But I will never give up. Definitely I will try again next time..

Exercise is one thing. Another things was when we wanted to change and have a showered. It's is an OPEN shower. YES. Open shower, without door or shower curtain. Nice kan. Me and Neuza like oh no. How we want to take a shower without curtain????

At first we planned to lock the door and both of us can take turn to use the shower. Then suddenly, one lady came to the changing room. Hahahaha.. Perempuan tu selamba badak dia jer buka semua baju and naked in front of us... We liked.. Pleaseeeee...

Saya terus masuk toilet dan tukar baju semua dalam toilet. After finish, I went out and Neuza was taking a bath alone after the lady earlier finished shower. Good... Neuza cakap mesti perempuan tu ingat kitorang ni gila sebab malu-malu nak mandi. Yes maybe. But I think the lady was the one who was crazy sebab boleh naked selamba badak je depan kitoarng kan..huuu. Yes I'm Asian. hehehe.

Lepas ni kena fikir macamana cara nak mandi dalam changing room tu... haisshhhhh :P

Gym :P

Dah lama semangat nak pergi gym. Di Karolinska University Hospital ni ada free gymnasium for all staf. Minggu lepas saya, Neuza, dan Carole pergi aktif kan our door card, to make it easier if we want to go to the gym.

Semalam saya sempat ke gym during lunch hour. Semangat ni pergi sorang-sorang sebab Neuza dan Carole ada kerja during lunch hour...

Sebelum apa2 kita timbang berat dulu... Ishhh betul2 kena kerja kuat ni...huuu. Takpe2 perlahan2 orang kata, biar consistent.

Maka berjaya guna Crosstrainer ni untuk 30 minit. Tak ingat pulak berapa kalori yang dah berjaya di bakar semalam... Takpe, next time mesti bawak kamera kan.. Harap2 tak jadi angan-angan tahi ayam itik la kan...hehehe.

Ni ada info mengenai crosstrainer.. hasil google

Here are the major benefits of elliptical exercise machines:

1. The most important aspect of using an elliptical trainer is the reduction of impact. It provides the similar type of workout as jogging but without the wear and tear on your joints. Because of your weight, jogging actually places a great deal of stress on the back and joints. If you have ever jogged a lot and without a good pair of jogging shoes, jogging can be hard on your knees, ankles, shins, and back. With elliptical bike, because your limbs remain in continuous contact with the machine, its operation limits the impact to your joints. That’s why most fitness experts recommend the elliptical trainer to people who have a hard time exercising because of physical ailments such as bad joints and arthritis.
2. Depending on the intensity, you may burn more calorieswith the elliptical trainer compared with the treadmill or the exercise bike. The actual workout feels like a brisk walk even though you are exerting as much effort as a good run. Elliptical trainers burn the between 8 and 12 calories per minute. Not too bad.
3. If you choose an elliptical trainer with dual action handle bars, you can actually get a true cross training workout that uses your whole body, including your upper body. But, for me, I prefer not to hold the bar because I tend to move slower. Without holding the bar, I feel that my abs will actually work slightly harder in stabilizing my body.
4. For those who want to work out your lower legs, the elliptical trainer uses all of the muscles of the lower leg. Therefore, you will strengthen and build your lower legs.
5. Another great thing about the elliptical trainer is that you can move at a comfortable speed while allowing for the occasional burst of high intensities.
6. Safe to use.When you stop, the machine stops. The amount of resistance on an elliptical trainer will determine how much effort it will take for you to keep your feet moving. The speed will be determined by your own movement.

   Dengan benefits kat atas tu, mesti pergi gym hari2 or alternate day.. Jom mula dari sekarang...
