EnergyOne & New workouts!

Hi Fluffies,

Submission for the current module is finally over! Last week, I've finally made my way back into the gym on Wednesday with my uni friends after a long hiatus. I can honestly say, I missed the squat rack. I miss gymming on sunday mornings. It was great being able to work out like this again! We headed to energyOne gym at Toa Payoh Safra. Frankly when I realised i had to pay the $8.85 entrance fee, I was taken aback. I was used to paying between the range of $4 to $5.50 for gym, anything over is pricey.

I started off my workout session with:

1. Running on treadmill: 1.2km
2. Lateral arm pulls: 4 sets of 12 reps, 18kg 
3. Regular squats on assisted squat machine: 4 sets of 12 reps, 20kg each side
4. Deadlifts: 4 sets of 12 reps, 20kg barbell with 5kg each side
5. Walking lunges: 3 sets of 12 reps, 20kg barbell with 5kg each side
6. Hamstring curls: 2 sets of 12 reps, 18kg
7. Quad extensions: 2 sets of 12 reps, 18kg
8. Talking and laughing: Alot
9. Fun: Alot

But in the end, I gotta say, it was worth it. I had a good butt workout in a clean and pristine environment. So much more hygienic than the gym that I used to frequent. The ultimate highlight was the hot shower and clean towels available. 

My Wednesday ended with a homemade version of Llao Llao and binging on the internet.

So for last week, I've tried 4 new cardio heavy HIIT workouts : 

1. Silent Bodyweight HIIT

As you know I've previously tried and reviewed a HIIT workout from Christine Salus. It was fabulously tiring so I decided to try other workouts from her channel. This Silent Bodyweight HIIT did not disappoint because it was by far one of the hardest silent HIITs that I've done. 

2. Full Body 45 Min Sweat-Fest | Burn 700 Calories | Cardio | Strength | Abs

This one was great. TIRING. But good old effective HIIT workout. I was floored again.

3. How To Get A Perky Butt (HIIT Workout)

This one was tiring and not too bad on the cardio side.  Good cardio and butt toning at the same time!

4. Interval Power Yoga Level 2 Intermediate Backbends Impact HIIT Cardio Weight Loss

In an attempt to replace my scheduled cardio workout and relaxation time, I tried a power yoga HIIT sequence. What??? LOL I have never come across such a combination so I had to try. My verdict? It is tough and not for beginners. It would be better if you have some background in practicing yoga. Or else you could hurt yourself.

And that's all for this week! I hope you have a wonderful, happy and healthy week ahead :)
