A reader commented that instead of body building, she prefers the treadmill. That is actually a very good option if the intention is to lose weight, be fit and healthy and body building is not emphasized.A brisk jog on the treadmill or a run will do wonders for the metabolic rate of a person. Some gym goers equate the treadmill and other similar machines as warming-up machines. But do not underestimate the power of aerobic exercise as opposed to heavier body building exercises.
Many people like the act of cycling. It is also a great workout. But once we pay for membership in a gym, we might as well make full use of its facilities.

I might be off the mark but I liken this act to skiing

This is a ’stair stepper’. It is equivalent to climbing stairs. Just watch the calories burn away. It is harder than it looks after a while. However many prefer a more aggressive way of building their leg muscles. In this post I introduce a few exercises for you to attempt.

This is an awesome exercise. You raise and lower your foot with a barbell on your shoulders.

Alternatively you can also squat and then straighten your leg and then repeat it again and again.

Watch all your extra kgs melt away in a matter of months. Somebody once said no matter what she does, the extra kgs just won’t melt away. Of course some form of control over the diet is required. I would like to end this post by saying that when we workout, we use up calories. On a long term basis, no form of exercise will fail to bring about results.

I however have a long long way to go before I can shed all my excess kgs. I love to eat too much.
Happy exercise everybody.
Many thanks to Mr Marcel Wee for permission to take pics in Kingwood Gym and being agreeable to be a model on some of the pics.
Another way to lose weight and up your cardio fast is plyometrics but i have to admit it is very intense though.
Hi Jellina. I will google this up later. Thanks!
I should go and have a look at kingwood gym the next trip back! What’s the membership fee, Bengbeng?

i just love my afternoon or morning walks…as long as it’s not too cold to walk outside
da digits on my weighing scale made me T___________T
it’s time to hit da gym again! *notes to self*
lose 5kg in three months?
hmmm … you gym allow you to be half naked. the gym that i went no one is going to take off their shirt …
Must have proper attire :p
difficult to answer this question cos each gym is different. it is fully aircond, part of the gym is a swimming pool, deck terrace to watch the Rejang River surrounded by flowers n the hotel is ever ready to serve you with waiters in full uniform n fine cutlery just a call away. there is also jacuzzi, steam bath and sauna. so it is difficult to define where to wear suitable clothing n not to b suitably attired
i love to overeat too….a few extra kilos in the right place is ok i think hahaha:)
a few kilos is ok but for me ..more than that
and thank you and marcel
You already did very good. Can see the muscle coming soon.
i am just putting on weight.
I prefer to jog. But sometimes it is dangerous to jog on the road. So treadmill is still considered a good investment. Too bad my house is no where to place it. :p
Exercising is good for health…
I can’t afford gyms so I do my at home. Abdomen Board and Jumping Jacks. Losing the weight seems to be slow for me well, like you I love eating hahaha… But it keeps us healthy too

Make sure to warm up before the exercise. Need to loosen the old bones for a new life
.
especially since my bones are ancient
I can’t get to the gym, so I put together some YouTube exercise videos to make my own routine.
