Gym, Here I come

So yeah, I am thinking to taking up the membership :hinna: I am a freaking lazy soul, actually I think I wouldnt be wrong in calling me Garfied :frowning:

As for the Gym, my purpose is not really to lose weight ( upto two KG is ok , anything lower then that gives me a negative BMI ) , the actual purpose is just to ensure body remains active and flexible coz due to a desk job I hardly move at all .. its almost the same with household chores , not enough exercise ..

So what machines and exercises should i focus on ?

Re: Gym, Here I come

I would recommend you alternative between yoga, pilates and aerobic classes which will overall help strengthen your body and add flexibility.

Re: Gym, Here I come

hmmm ... yoga is a no .. I cant for the life of me sit in awkward positions .. i think its more to do with my body flexibility ... but aerobics is something that is topping my list at the moment ..

a friend recommended Zumba as well :hmmm :

Re: Gym, Here I come

i love jogging, for some reason gyms make me claustrophobic.......fresh air can do wonders to your skin and its free

Re: Gym, Here I come

Avoid machines. Go for aerobics classes like Zumba or kickboxing etc. It will improve your overall fitness and tone your body

Re: Gym, Here I come

Your best of doing classes, I find the machines quite re dative

Doing boot camp classes intensive interval training is quite good

Re: Gym, Here I come

Toba, jealous log :omg:

Thanks everyone .. I think i might try spinning as well .. what say?

Re: Gym, Here I come

start lifting weights (and no u won't look like arnie!)...google some strenghtening/toning exericses for women. I think with the kind of cardio you're mentioning, u will lose weight and since that's not your main goal, you should look into other kind of workouts to supplement or replace your routine.

Re: Gym, Here I come

as others have said, you want to incorporate lots of cardio in your workout. Cardio does tone you up aswell. To be well defined, you want to do light weights with more reps. And then you have simple things like push ups press ups etc etc. Hope that helped.

Re: Gym, Here I come

Definitely join Zumba and pilates. It's so much fun! I hate exercising but the classes are fun!

Re: Gym, Here I come

yaay .. so many ideas .. I am surprised i am feeling excited about it .. usually I start sulking at the thought of going to the gym :( .. Thanks ever so much guys .. i am going to try most of the stuff mentioned here and see what i feel happy doing and then will run with it ... sounds like a plan ..
