Backlogs and Friday ARMS!

Hello Fluffies,

It's been a short while since I last did a log! Like ever since the day I left for Bangkok I think. I did follow through working out regularly but just did not have the time and energy to post them. I've been waking up and leaving home early in the morning and going home late at night. Thank god my boyfriend's been by my side these few days to help me pull through the sudden crazy schedule.

If you are wondering about how my Bangkok trip was, I will be doing a separate post on it, filled with pictures and ADDRESSES so you can go check those places out if you happen to be heading to Bangkok anytime soon. 

And yes I did managed to workout ONCE while in Bangkok haha. Here's a picture of the hotel gym. Can I say its very badly stocked??? NO BAR BELLS. WHAT. and no squat machine. We had to share the machines. 

Here's the workout sequence that I did(base on what I can remember):

1. Running on thread mill:

    15mins 

2. Squats, holding 2 of 8kg dumbbells:

    3 sets of 15 reps 

3. Walking lunges with kick backs, holding 2 of 8kg dumbbells:

    3 sets of 15 reps 

4. Tricep stretch with 8kg dumbell:

    1 set of 15 reps (My arms nearly snapped)

5. 20 sit ups (lol, I rly hate sit ups)

Yesterday, I was pressed for time but wanted to pack more punch into the short workout time that I had. So here's my choice of workouts if you are interested to know how I try to fit in more work into a short frame of time.:

1. Best cardio kickboxing workout <- Cardio

2. Thigh trimmer and butt lifter <- Toning work

3. Lolo jones legs and lunges workout <- Toning and light cardio

I try to work more of my legs whenever I'm pressed for time because our quad muscles burn more calories as compared to the other muscles in your body. Short intense HIITs or cardio workouts are also the way to go to have the effect of afterburn so that your body stays fired up for the most part of the day. 

For today, I had more time and did more toning work and because its the time of the month, I didnt want to go too crazy on my body in the cardio department.:

Bikini Blaster 7: Bodacious Back and Sleek Shoulders:

POP Pilates: Tricep Toner:

POP Pilates: Never ever getting back together workout:

Like Money Apartment Friendly cardio workout:

3 Min Thighs:

That's all for today!

Friday rest day

It's Fridayyyyyy

Not that it makes much of a difference to me but, TGIF! I hope you will have a wonderful weekend :)

Headed down to the east today and basically got caught in a series of never ending blizzards. My attempt to warm myself up by walking through the night market and eating hot food didn't help much. In fact, I'm down with a flu now. :(

Luckily, I did my workouts earlier today before heading out. Or else I would have no strength to do anything!

1. Fat Burning Cardio Workout at Home:

2. Victoria's secret angel arm workout:

3. 100 squats. 

My inspiration for doing a random 100 squats came from watching Cassey's new 1000 squats challenge. I used to think weight 20 squats to like... 5 burpees maybe. Now, a 100 is not many. In fact, it barely felt like a warm up. Working out everyday definitely made me a stronger girl. The numbers do sound scary. But I do believe that with effort, they are achievable.. Maybe one of these days, I'll give the 1000 squats challenge a try. But right now after a long cardio and arm toning session, what do we say to a 1000 squats?

NOT TODAY!

Friday 'Restday' workout

Hi Fluffies,

On the blogilates calendar, I'm supposed to be resting today but I didn't want to since I've rested enough for the past week. Cardio workouts are definitely on my list today! 

1. Best Cardio Workout Kickboxing:

I really like this workout because it really tires me out. I like to hold weights in place of jumping rope and when I have to throw punches. I know I tend to lax while i throw my punches so I hold weights to make sure I work a little harder.

2. Victoria's Secret Cardio Workout:

This wasn't too bad. I think this is the first time I'm doing this workout. Quite a breeze compared to the first workout lol.

3. Thigh Trimmer & Butt Lifter:

4. Beach ready butt challenge:

I think I did alot more cardio today, walking around town with my boyfriend. We had Ilao Ilao again yayyy. Have you had Ilao Ilao before? It's getting quite popular at the moment so we had to queue quite abit to get my frozen yoghurt fix. Miss the days when we would come and there would be no queue at all because it was still pretty much unknown. 

Friday 'Rest' day

Hey ya'll fluffies,

Today was pretty tiring and I felt really cranky the whole day. Let's just say it was an utter shit morning. But it got better as the day went by because MY BOYFRIEND IS FINALLY BACK FROM FINLAND YAYYYY. Can't wait to see him tomorrow, I'm really really excited!!

I was contemplating if I should workout today but in the end, I did. 
I guess it's more of a habit now.. I have to sweat everyday.. I have to sweat before I shower.

So here's today's impromptu workout!

1. Total Ab workout: No more muffintop

2. POP Pilates Pick me up Quickie workout

3. Tracey Mallett Firm Butt Workout

4. Slim Waist Pop Pilates

By the way, I HATE this workout. It is soooo difficult I never fail to cuss whenever I'm doing this one. :/

Also I wish I could show you this HUGE plate of chicken Parmigiano I had for lunch. I think I probably ate a whole chicken worth of chicken breast meat. It was HUGE. I had to give half of it to my teacher. 

I should be resting now, Goodbye! :*

TGIF Log

Hi Fluffies,

So yesterday, was my rest day! On rest days, we're not supposed to do anything strenuous and just take a good rest for the week. BUT, I knew I had to yolo so I did a little simple 10min butt workout just to make myself feel a little bit better haha.

Subbed the resistance bands for resistance tubes! 

I always felt tt Denis austin is a very... 80s kind of trainer XD 

And we were back at Supply&demand last night! had the chef's pick for the day, red wine sauce chicken... wasn't that amazing tho.. I liked the grilled chicken better. 

After dinner, we headed to One Rochester's Starbucks to chillout before heading home :>
