Yesterday, sarah, as in 04s12 sarah, asked me to go NUS dragon boat training wif her...actually, I'm quite interested in it after I watched dragon boat competition on tv last holiday...it really looked damn cool everything is so coordinated...
yup, so I went to meet the ppl there... Oh gosh, the gals are super muscular lah...as in the senior...I felt inferior...haha
so i agreed to have training with them, it started with warming up n stretching n jumping jack..the normal stuff lah u noe. Even from this simple exercise, I can see that these ppl are super committed n discipline. they like did everything whole-heartedly...so i just follow oso since i dun mind doing exercise.
after warm up, we RAN to the gym...yes, we really ran, like mad bull...haha..
okay, reach gym....honestly, I never go gym before...okay, maybe got go...but never tried all the machines n stations....except for the treadmills...
luckily, we were divided into grps n I'm in a grp with another cindy...haha...cindy is such a common name...but i still like it...haha
yup the ppl in my grp are very nice, cindy, charmaine n amanda...n they taught me how to use each of the machines n taught me the breathing technique...
n I was damn amazed to see them do the heavy weights...crazy lah, i cant even do half of their weight...haha
after gym was medicine ball...It's an orange ball made of rubber n dunno wad else...coz from the look of it, it looks damn light n it seems to be very easy to pass the ball....
I got the shock of my life when I did the first pass, It was damn damn heavy lah. and it was hard to pass accurately...but after awhile i could get the hang of it n did okay lah...
but that was not all. Of course must do running rite...but yep, the fact is, NUS area is never flat....it's always uphill, downhill....can u imagine running up the slope...xiao lah!...but the team is super encouraging n very supportive. they kept shouting jiayou all the way when we ran. my badminton training last holiday have done me some good. I noe that my stamina is still there even though not as fit as the rest. I managed to complete the run n return to SRC feeling satisfied with myself.
the best part was, soya milk! they said that it's good for muscle recovery...after all the gymming n running, my muscles are damaged for sure...so soya milk is good!
yup, got to noe a few year ones there too...they are friendly bunch of ppl but the rest have known each other since they went for training for 2 weeks aledy...
they sure grew stronger after the training. can see that some of them are not the sport type but see how they can do a bit of pull-ups (still with help of course)...
went fong seng for supper (or dinner exactly)....i ate maggie mie chicken coz i suddenly got craving for it...but I promise next time I go there I'm gonna eat roti john, it looks super nice. n dun wanna order the ice blended anymore coz it's always too sweet. bleak!
yup, come back my room n can aledy feel that my hands were trembling. I think i strained my muscle too much aledy. so I bathed with hot water n applied so muscle rub before it gets worse.
luckily today I can still lift my hand n go lecture...haha but still quite pain lah.
see..this is my first training n they say that it was still slack. I dunno how tough it's going to get. I dunno whether this is the rite thing for me. I'm not very used to training hard 3 times a week. but I'm going to see how first coz this saturday is the really water training. someone, help me decide pls...I hate making decisions....
i hope my bone wont crack with this kind of intensive exercise....
i enjoyed it somehow. but the post-effect is really torturing...how??
