The consequences of not joining pump for 4 weeks is just dreadful.
Since BIL and sis could go pick up some pet stuff for me, I'd had more time to spend at the gym yesterday. Decided to join Hobbes' body pump at LM, I was quite sure he was teaching since he's on his term holiday now.
To make it up to missing so many days of gym earlier the week, I went early for some cardio before class. Went on the stepper for 25 minutes during which Hobbes had passed to say he didn't know what I was talking about in terms of "board" (I meant Scrabulous lah, isn't that what you call? the place we place our tiles on?) and said he's gonna die... Does that mean no torturing members?
I love the class, I love all the tracks, although I can't remember the titles of the tracks, except for one - push up!
I was already feeling the strain on my shoulder when I did the uplifting during warm up and had to give up one shoulder press - OMG, I can't even manage warm up??? I was only using my usual 5kg. Guess I had to go back to beginner's weight...
Plunked on 8.5kg for my squat and my butt was already burning half way through the track. Only loaded 5kg for my chest track and I could only survive my singles by doing top half; had to break my bottom halves and could only manage my push up on option - on knees with butt sticking up option. REALLY bad... humphhh
The rest of the class was a nightmare for me. I gave up using my usual 5kg and downgraded to 3.5kg for my triceps. Shoulder track was one of my favorite by I couldn't enjoy the pain because it was really beyond pain and strength.
Believe it or not, the class was so tough for me till I didn't even manage to shout much. MB would not be able to hear my moaning or groaning if she were in the class.
Now, I really should look into my gym schedule again. Hobbes said I sounded like a fanatic when I said one of the reasons (not the main reason) I was hoping to change job is in order for me to better schedule my workout.
Perhaps I have to give up sleep to stay on for the Monday pump again; and Thursday pump at, erm... where?

hey, i think i should do back pump. it has been awhile since my last class in maxis.
yea, i think i should add this in my gym xtvt regime. :-)
i think it is normal for someone who hasn't do pump for some time and then suddenly do. i think it works the same too for combat and other classes too. you should have come for renee's combat, as you might feel the stretch in your hands hehehehehehe.
Seriously, pump is one of the classes that I hate to miss. Once missed, the strength will degrade. Other classes are ok to miss as long as we keep up with the cardio
Can't wait to do more exercise.. but too bad.. not enough $$ yet to join gym.. wait la...
