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!

Tuesday Abs and Wednesday Arms&Shoulders

Hello fluffies,

There's a whole lotta blogilates videos coming up.

It was cardio abs workouts for Tuesday! I switched one of the ab workouts out for a cardio instead because cardio is more important than ab exercises if what you really want is to achieve 6pec abs etc.

1. 5 Minute Fat Burner:

2. Flat Stomach Fat Melter:

3. Lower Belly Flattener:

4. The 5 Best & Most effective ab exercises:

5: Abs on Fire: 

For some reason, this workout seemed a little harder to do today.

6. The bold & the bootiful workout:

For Wednesday's workout, it was a little bit more special. It featured Sexy broom workout and Towel Tonefest workout. I know you haven't seen these featured on my posts so far. In fact I can't remember the last time I did them. They were so tough but so good too. Cassey finally decided to bring these 2 crazy mamas back into the calendar. I gotta admit I got worried when I saw Wednesday's workout plan but as usual, I went with it anyway.

1. Sexy broom burn for trim thighs and sculpted back:

All you really need is a stick. A long stick.

2. Towel Tonefest workout:

3. Toned arms & sculpted back POP pilates:

4. Back On Fire POP pilates : 

Cardio Core Thursday and Wednesday Arms

Hello Fluffies,

This was yesterday's workout.

1. Sleek and sexy arms for beginners

2. Arms on fire

3. Back on fire

It was arms day and because I thought I would be making a trip to the zoo with my boyfriend, I only did 3 workout videos thinking that I would be clocking in alot calories burned in the cardio department. Unfortunately, we were stuck in Vivocity due to the rainy weather :/

I had the intention of finishing up my arm workout today but decided not to because I got lazy lol

So for today, its cardio core!

1.Flat Belly fat burner:

2. 5 min Fat burner:

3. 5 Best Abs exercises:

4. POP Pilates: Hot Abs:

6. Thigh trimmer & Butt Lifter:

I ended it off by switching one of the ab workouts to a butt workout just because.

 I found out something amazing today.. I can do fried barley! So yay to more fibre and lower GI carb alternative :) If you're wondering, this lunchtime mess is fried barley with vegetables and eggs with sriracha sauce topped with sesame seeds. 

After my student orientation session at SIM (I was so nervous for some reason), I spent a part of my afternoon waiting in Wang Coffeeshop for my passport photo to be done. While waiting, I decided to do some sketching to kill time.

*This picture was taken yesterday*

Belated wednesday log + Thursday Cardio Core!

Hi Fluffies,

May I just begin with some whining? 

I've been sneezing ALL DAY. My nose is RAW. And I developed some weird rashes on my eyelids after taking this breakfast popsicle selfie. I sooo had to pose with it because its blueberries baby.

Posing with my blueberry popsicle for breakfast haha

I decided to press on and do my workout for the day anyway despite constantly having to wipe my snot :s but my experiences with doing my workouts while having flu or allergies have always been better than expected. Many times, I find myself feel even better after working out.

Wednesday's workout was simple. It was all of blogilates' calendar's workout for Upper Bod wednesday. 

1. Bikini Blaster 4: Awesomesauce Arms

2. Bikini Blaster 7: Bodacious back and sleek shoulders

3. Toned Arms & Sculpted Back

4. Pop pilates: Back attack

I changed up Thursday's cardio core routine as I thought it was too little cardio:

Happy Thursday everyone :)

Wednesday fitness log

Hey fluffies!

My reebok level 3 resistance tube is the star of the show today. I replaced my usual weights with it for some of the moves and tried to incorporate it into my workouts wherever I can for a little more intensity. 

Here's today's workouts in sequence!:
1. POP cardio: Trafalgar trimdown toner

As usual, cardio first! Okay I admit, I held on to my weights for this workout. It's quite impossible to bend here and there without getting tangled with the tubes and having it smack me in the face.

2. Arms on fire

3. Back on fire

Definitely did this with my resistance tubes. Very nearly died. It was tough.

4. Victoria's secret angel arm workout

Though Cassey was seated down while doing this, I decided to stand instead so that I could anchor my resistance tube with my feet.

5. POP Pilates: Upper body arm workout

6. Call me maybe Mighty Squat challenge

Held on to my weights for this one. 

Feeling a sore coming for me tomorrow morning but it ain't gonna stop me from workin' because ~

:)
