You guys usually pick up those class from gym membership right?

normally YES......But there are also kungfu studio (mou kun) that offers such classes.....

I damn long tarak bodycombat already. Maybe on next saturday.

I am quite against joining any gym because of their marketing and business approach, it is a very dark world in it. Few of my close friend work in it and told me how things work there..

so far, i am happy with my gym. you may wanna select those not so commercialised gym so that they wont pester you for personal training session, this upgrade and that,......

but hor....location of the gym is very important....

i agree with u
im happy with my gym too,although its very FAR from my house..

this link might help u to identify ur body type chargie

IMPORTANT ARTICLE here

3. Changing Workout Styles, Reps, Exercises, And Speed Of Reps Is Essential:

Firstly changing your exercises is probably the most important of all. This ensures your body doesn't adapt to the exercises. If your body does adapt, it won't get as good of a workout from that exercise, and your progress plummets.

Changing the reps is second most important in two ways. First of all it prevents your body from adapting to a certain rep range and more importantly it works different muscle fibers. If all the different muscle fibers are worked, it provides greater muscular growth, rather than if you just worked one muscle fiber.

The speed of reps isn't really essential to change, but it will help you change your workout so your body is always being challenged and making progress. For example, some repetitions you can perform fast and others you can go fast up and slow down, or just the whole rep slow.

Lastly changing the workout style is an important point you should consider. For example if you just did hypertrophy specific training, you will get bored of that kind of training. Also your body can get used to it very easy if that's all you've been doing for a year. Different workout programs challenge and exert the body in different ways that will increase your progress and make your body more physically able.

The goal here is HIIT at least 3-4 times per week as well as weight sessions. However there are a few main things you should consider:

Never do cardio before weights. This is a bad combo. The thing is cardio will use up your glycogen stores. Therefore when it comes time to workout, you will have limited energy resulting in a compromised workout. You might lose fat but your workouts will suffer a great deal.

Rather, if you have to do cardio and weights on the same day try spacing them out as far as possible. So, doing weights in the morning and cardio in the late afternoon or vice versa. Just allow for enough time to recover.

Another option is doing cardio right after weights. This has an advantage of burning more fat. The reason is because your glycogen stores are all used up, so therefore your body looks to your fat to burn as energy. Keep in mind though weights take a lot out of the body. So your cardio might suffer just a little bit.

The last thing you should never do is cardio and leg workouts on the same day. I've tried this and it does not work. You feel terribly wobbly, unbalanced, and your legs tire extremely fast. Try spacing cardio as far away from leg workouts as possible, because doing cardio on super sore legs sucks.

hahaha, another leng chai coach?


Yeah, but I didn't enroll in gym. I go company gym and enroll in separate body combat session.
Every Monday and Thursday night, I go TKD, each session 2 hours.
I planned to go Wing Chun on Wednesday night, but it's too harsh for my body to take it at the current physical level

last time in Uni, I was doing the sports type kick boxing. It is very fun except 1 part, I cannot spar with ppl
Besides this, I also learn Karate and Taekwondo. Judo and Aikido not my cup of tea, bcoz hard to sweat, hahahah.


I am really a meso with crippled metabolism.
Hey, thanks !

should a fat person eat the protein supplement as food replacement? afraid that the size will go bigger too.

I tend not no agree to pick up protein supplement as food replacement. We still need clean balanced food.

Nevertheless, It may not be necessary to take protein since we are having it naturally thru our food such as lean chicken meat, fish, eggs, etc......but if the fat people work out damn hard, it may be appropriate to take some so that the recovery part is faster and he/she can go all out again within shorter rest period....

I am at the end of cutting stage, and now I am picking up some protein supplement to prevent mass loss. I just wanna burn those body fat....not the mass.

Protein SUPPLEMENT is a supplement, and all protein supplement label should have said don't use it as food replacement for weight loss.

Having difficulty in maintaining my balanced diet. Help NEEDED!!
