Day 206: Strength (Core, Gym and Plyometrics)

singapore personal trainer

Disclaimer: By doing my workouts and blogging it online here, I’m not seeking attention, nor am I an exhibitionist. I’m the type that follow-through my training much better if I put it in writing. I workout because I can, and I love doing so. Do not try to emulate my training program, I bear no responsibility if you do so. I’m no role-model, not your papa, mama, your soulmate, or someone you can look-up to, nor am I’m a national athlete … I am just a NOBODY. So just leave me be.


Well it’s usual assessment on my body condition early in the morning. I would have thought I would feel exhausted after yesterday’s lactic training, but you know what, I felt normal.

And nope I didn’t snooze my alarm clock as previously when it was time to wake up. I in fact was raring to go, I literally hopped out of bed, drank my usual RedBull caffeine intake and prepared for gym.

One other routine I’ve to add when I usually prepare for training is checking the weather before-hand. I usually use the NEA’s 3 hour weather forecast to plan my workout based on the forecast.

Usually the forecast is right on the spot, but today it was dead wrong.

Halfway while jogging to my training location, it rained heavily. I opted to stop short of my jog, and took the bus to my training location. The EZ-Link card which is always in my man-purse came in handy today. Yup I did say man-purse, and I love it!

When I arrived at my training location I was soaking wet. It didn’t help the 100m distance from the bustop to the gym had no overhead cover, so I ran, rather than waste time waiting for the rain to stop.

Upon entry to the gym, I went to the toilet drying myself as best as I could. Coming out, I had to do my warmup all over again as I went ‘cold’ earlier.

The thing about doing gym on a rainy day is that, it does has its perks. There will be far lesser people, quieter and less gawking. It was great for me as I didn’t have to wait for any users to finish using the machine or equipment.

Gym went rather well, I ramped up the intensity by increasing the number of reps. I’ll know by tomorrow morning if that will have any effect on my body.

Oh ya if you decide to use the Hack Squat at Woodlands ClubFITT gym, try it last in your workout session as it’s the smelliest machine in the gym. You would wreak of a certain stench after using it.

After gym, I proceed with my conversion. I skipped the box jump due to safety concerns as it was wet, and bounding as the field was muddy.

I just did the hurdles drills, and added a new routine to it. Straight leg drives. Next week I’ll add another, Knee leg drives. Well it’s back to work now. Ciao!
