Work Day (Recovery 2) Gym Session 18/04/2008

Today I got into the gym at 6:30 pm, I met up with the usual friend of mine, Brian and to my surprise I met Nick as well from Lowyat Net forums (In case you are wondering, he is doing fine albeit being more busy from work though) . It seems like not long ago I just started coming to Manulife Fitness First, and the week after next will be my last week in Manulife Fitness First. I am kinda sad though. When I switch to another gym, I always left some people behind but that's life. I got of from gym at exactly 9:15 pm, total time spent in gym = 2 hours 45 mins.

*Please note that I did not perform squats at all today as I was feeling too tired.

Anyway my workout routine as follows:



I think I did pretty alright for a very tired person who moved lotsa stuff yesterday and just recovered from flu. I understand not doing squat is probably a bad idea but don't worry, I will be doing that exercise again soon enough.

Neek,

Hehe, yes you saw my twin evil brother haha....

Anyway, the explanation as follows:

The (Non-gym) session was for Thursday (ie. 17/04/2008)

Whereas the (Recovery 2) gym session was today (ie. 18/04/2008, Friday)

*PS Please update your workout log, I like to click on the spoiler, I have incorporated that to mine as well, forum piracy. LOL...

Cheers,

Ken

Work day (Non-Gym) session 21/04/2008

Today I have to carry financial statements from the government office again. Fortunately, it was not that heavy. I had to stay back at work till 9 pm to pack my stuff, which is further more financial statements and folders that weight quite a bit between 2-3 kg.

Anyway, here are the stats:



Hopefully, tomorrow I will be able to hit the gym. Frankly moving boxes and financial statements is quite tiring, can't wait till we moved to the new place because I would be able to concentrate in the gym for good, I hope.

Work Day (Stressed Out) Gym Session 24/04/2008

Today I was quite stressed from work, too much stuff to do and yet so little time. Anyway I got into the gym about 6:30 pm and got off at 9:00 pm. Total time spent in gym = 2 hours 30 mins.

I believe that being stress from work has affected my ability to lift today significantly.

Anyway today's workout routines as follows:



All in all, a pretty crappy work out. I believe that there were just too many pretty girls in the gym again which might have provided too much distraction in lifting. The amount of pretty girls in the Manulife Fitness First gym is increasing in a very alarming rate......

Conclusion, gym training is a great lifestyle option. Hoorah......

Work Day (Non-Gym) Session 25/04/2008

After work today, I had to rearrange and carry about 40++ heavy boxes around the room. I started doing this at 5:30 pm and finished the entire ordeal by 7:30 pm. I did not feel exhausted or tired after this ordeal until the very next day.

On Saturday my whole body was aching mainly from my legs and my back. Maybe it's the sign of I am getting too old for this.

The stats are as follows:


Anyway there will be more moving on Monday as the whole company will be relocating to OneWorld Hotel (within 1Utama area). I will be coordinating the move from 9:00 am and hopefully not to 10:00pm.

Thanks for reading. Cheers

Below is a photo of some Vodka and soft drinks to mix with. I had this in Bamboo Pub, located in TTDI on February 2008

Thanks Pizzaboy,

Funny thing that day when I tried to change my friend's tyre (Perodua Kenarii) => Not sure whether the spelling correct or not.

I think I almost break the handbrake, the car was moving forward......Hmmm, am I that strong.....

Anyway I didn't think that was the right way to change the tyre, managed to change it in the end.

Oh well going out to get Lipo6 finally.

Cheers,

Ken

My Birthday Gym Session 01/05/2008

After a birthday bash last night at Old Town Coffee Shop in Kelana Jaya till like 1 am, I was able to wake up at 8:00 am today. I would like to sincerely thank my friends for throwing me this party. However, I had to go to gym today irregardless due to the fact the last time I was in gym was actually last Thursday.

I got into the Damansara Uptown Gym 11:30 pm and finished the entire session by 1:50 pm. Total time spent in gym = 2 hours and 20 mins.

My exercises routine as follows:


All in all, I think I did pretty ok, I would definitely considered going to gym either tomorrow or on Saturday.

Cheers

Post Birthday Light Cardio Session 02/05/2008

I had lots of surprises yesterday from friends and family, I currently have like 3 cakes at home, the cakes are a cheese cake, a chocolate cake and a pandan cake. I will take photos of these cakes soon enough and post them over here as well. I would like to sincerely thank those who make my birthday a special this year.

Today, I woke up early this morning about 10 am, I slept at 1 am therefore I had like 9 hours sleep....I believe that I totally had enough sleep. Anyway, I walked my dog at 10:30 am to 11:00 am usually on Sunday but since my dad was just recovering from surgery therefore he was unable to walk Little Foot.

The stats for the following light cardio session is as follows:


Below are photos of Tom Yum noodle and Nasi Lemak Special from Old Town White Coffee Shop, Kelana Jaya (near the new Giant)

Tom Yum Noodles


Nasi Lemak Special

Really? Only one?

I saw like a lot man, I think my eyes are going to be bad from looking at too many pretty girls and ladies.

I was just getting to know a few last few weeks, today was my last day in Manulife Fitness First for Work Day Gym Session.

Rushing from moving boxes, furniture and stuff from work to gym, came back not long, going out again at 4:00 pm.

Next Monday, I will be in OneWorld Hotel just below IBM floors. Easy to watch movies after work.

I will update my workout journal soon enough.

Very tiring at the moment.

Cheers,

Ken

Work Day (Final, Short) Gym Session 03/05/2008

Today was the final day at my old office, I arrived at the old office at 9:00 am to move and to coordinate the moving of the remaining boxes and furnitures. This ordeal started from 9:15 am to 11:15 am. I spent 2 hours moving boxes ranging from 20kg to 30kg and furniture ranging from 10kg to 30kg as well.

The stats for the move are as follows:


Soon after the move at circa 11:30 am, I walked to the Manulife Fitness First gym for the last time. I handed a thank you letter to Sim (Manager) for his help in many of my exercises. I did my final and shorter version of gym with only one 30 mins cardiovascular exercise. I got out of gym at about 1:30 pm, total time spent in gym = 2 hours

My exercises routine as follows:


Anyway, the gym was quite empty but less so compared to 1st May in Uptown's Fitness First. I still wonder about how many calories I managed to burn during the move. At least, I was able to do 2 gym sessions this week irregardless. It is time for me to relax, I probably go watch some movies and shows to tune off.

Cheers

Supplements Entry 2008

I have been taking supplements since late February 2008 just after Chinese New Year. I believe that these supplements are natural and have been recommended by many people to me.

I should have taken photos and uploaded it but I was too lazy and the digital camera I have was really old and crappy. (3.2 megapixels that runs on 2x AA batteries)

Supplements that I have taken and still currently taking are as follows:



Cheers

Yeeck,

Good stuff, mate. How does the egg protein taste like? Is it more expensive?

Thanks to the long distance between the carpark and my office. It takes like a 15-20 minutes walk (one way) from 1Utama (Giant and Aerotrain area) to OneWorld Hotel and finally my office. Everyday, I typically have 2x 15-20 minutes of light cardiovascular sessions. Thankfully parking is only RM20 per month, yeah can save lotsa money compared to before.

This probrably implicates that I can update my workout journal on a daily basis. I probably just do 30 minutes very intense cardiovascular session per gym session instead of the usual 1 hour cardiovascular session.

Cheers

I see.

I already farts a lot eating whey protein supplements. I think with egg protein as supplement, I probably fart even more. When I eat certain types of eggs like half boiled egg, my mouth will stink big time.

What kinda of fart? Silent killer type or the blow horn type?

As the Chinese saying:

Noisy fart not smelly and silent fart very smelly. (in Mandarin)

I am very tired from work, seems to be more physical labour than usual.

Will update my work out journal soon enough.

Cheers

Work Day Non-Gym Session 05/05/2008

Today is the first day I stepped into the new office in OneWorld Hotel area. It took me like 17 mins from the carpark in the new wing of 1Utama. Fortunately, today was also casual wear day which makes it one of the rare occasions where professionals are able to wear T-shirts and jeans. (Believe me, this rarely or ever happens) Given that, I did not have enough sleep the night before about 5 hours or less, I was having a farewell for Jeff (with some amount of alcohol) who will be heading to Dubai for work.

When arrived in the office, there were many sealed boxes that was moved last Monday as well as last Saturday. There was a lot of carrying boxes, unpacking, arranging and so on. This lasted from 8:30 am all the way to 4:00 pm. We had an hour lunch break as usual from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm.

I reckon that this amount of exercises sort of mirrored my usual gym sessions or probably more.

Here are the stats:



I won't be heading to the gym tomorrow as I am really tired. I think Wednesday seems to be a plausible option. For now it's time for me to retire to my nice and cool bed.

Work Day (First) Gym Session 09/05/2008
First of all, I would like to record some of the light cardiovascular sessions that I do almost every morning since the first day my company has moved to OneWorld Hotel. With the exception of Wednesday that is 07/05/2008, whereby I was sick from a terrible stomachache (due to excess wind in the stomach).

The stats for the light cardiovascular exercises for each morning are as follows:


Today, that is Friday, I finally had the chance hit the gym for the first time I have moved to the new office. I arrived at Damansara Uptown Fitness First Gym at 6:30 pm and got off about 9:00pm, total time spent in the gym = 2 hours 30 mins

My workout routines are as follows:


All in all, a decent workout for the entire week. I must push for another session of gym this weekend no matter what. I would like to comment that Damansara Uptown Fitness First Gym may not have the best equipments but there aren't many people who does free weights or fixed weights for that matter. Therefore, I had almost the entire free weights area for myself.

However, I still do miss the Manulife Fitness First where I have met many friends (from staff and regular gym goers) during my one year tenure over there. I may return once in awhile on the weekend though.

Pizzaboy,

Yeah I felt the same too. I usually tried to push all the compound exercises as the very first exercises eg. Benchpress and Squats. Seldom do deadlifts, hate setting up the bar. I always wanted to switch back to splits but seriously don't have time thanks to working late now with 30-40 mins walk tru and from office to carpark......argh....

I think you better go for Curve Fitness First, Damansara Uptown Fitness First free weights area is very small also there is no rubber mat on the floor. It is like plastic or wooden.

However, there is only one PT around or at least I could see. Therefore, almost nobody will interrupt your training. In addition, the volume is so low (in terms of people using the gym) usually you'll have like the whole free weights area for yourself and maybe one or two people.

Cheers

Ken

Weekend (Light Cardio Session) 10/05/2008

Late evening today, I walked my dog in the playground. There seems to be a lot on mine in regards to my fitness level, work and friends. My fitness level have been going up and down (the down is really getting to me). My job is getting complicated by the day as I was handling quite a number of clients. A few of my good friends have migrated to Dubai and most likely won't come back to Malaysia for good. I have left the Manulife Fitness First gym and find it difficult to keep in touch with my old gym buddies as well.

I believe I need sometime to clear my mind therefore I am going to walked my dog more often.

Anyway the stats for my light cardiovascular session for the day as follows:


**Please note that tomorrow is Mother's Day, don't forget to wish someone that alright?
