My Longkang

Today I added one more routine to my gym workout. I found that I could not continue working out without paying any attention to the legs. The legs need to be strong to support weight. So, gingerly I approached this set of exercises. I was a little over-cautious but that is normal when one has experienced injury before. My advice is never to push oneself before one is ready.

My gym buddy insisted I do 5 sets of this ‘leg squat’ ( 8 reps each ) . It was a very physically demanding task. I almost gave up. But I didn’t

Then we did this routine but unlike the man in this pic, we had to carry dumb-bells. ( 3 sets )

It was followed by this activity which I believe is called leg-curl. ( 3 sets ) immediately followed by

The last routine I did before I gave up for the day was this ‘killer leg squats’. My gym buddy insisted on increasing and increasing the weights until I could not do it any more and gave up Good thing I gave up too as my legs are still hurting. But I had a wonderful time.

I recommend gym and working out to all who want a healthy way to pass time without spending too much time or money e.g. pubbing etc. Btw I am no muscle bound hunk I am just an Ah Beng just trying to torture myself back to health. Anyway the gym master carried out a series of measurements on my physical self and flexibilty and after refering to a set of tables declared me as one step above plump. I asked for further clarification and he smiled and said,”Fat”.

Today the gym is unusually empty as most members are I believe at home watching the Olympics 2008
