I didn't bake this weekend, one reason was laziness, the other was, as I told SSB and MB on MSN, there's no one to give the baked product to...
But, can you believe this, I actually joined a RPM class! I was on constant kind reminder from TD and the way she crafted her reminders, there's no way that I can, as I quote, "ter-forget" to go to the class. I can't even say I couldn't join because I brought the wrong attire - if you have read the last post, there was a complete list of details for the class. No mistaken of venue and time, and to complete the "package" I got a treat before class, how's that? Instructors now a days are very creative and have the best interest of the members at heart, they do everything to make sure you attend class, workout hard, and achieve results!
So, there I was, in the RPM studio 15 minutes before class - after a hearty brunch at Kopi O (I love the roti bakar!) - seat all adjusted to the most ideal position, with the help of TD. I don't remember being seated so comfortably during my last few RPM classes (some 2 years ago). I think it's the way the bike (the height of the saddle) is being adjusted - instead of measuring the seat to my hip while standing on the ground, it's measured with the height of my thigh at 90 degree standing on the plinth of the bike.
I heard someone was looking for TTB, and told TD that she couldn't find one that looks happy and like a baker. How does a baker look like by the way? I was seated one row behind and in between Lady Nina and Sham (so I was told by TD it's her). The one with the bandanna and tried to wear to the theme colour of RPM (and was using a dark blue towel).
I'm already feeling my butt ache, not because of the exercise, but the result of seating on the saddle.
The class was great, team-teach by Lilian and TD - high energy level and loads of fun, packed with fantastic "performances" by the instructors. This is the type of class where you don't need to bother about being annoyed by other members encroaching onto your space. However, I think one thing we must try to resist is the resistance - to resist not to unwind the resistance too soon! It's all up in the mind, determination is something we need in RPM classes! Great choice of a cardio class if you are looking for one hardcore class - one thing is, don't cheat. :p
I really didn't know what's the Cow all about, till I asked Lady Nina after the class. Oh, so it was the song title of the BC track, the one with the double back kick, I love that track! No wonder TD was telling us to resist the urge of doing back kicks. I was already feeling like a piece of dead meat during recovery, wondering then when would the class ever going to end. Towards the end of the class, it was great sense of achievement, really good workout for the lower body, heart rate pushed to the max, and not to mention me leaving behind a puddle of sweat underneath the bike. Haha... I think I so deserve a piece of cheesecake!
My legs were shaking when I walked up the stairs, I think it's a better idea to unwind and chill downstairs before walking up, but I had to rush. Yeah, was meeting up "someone special", as TD said, after the class. Is it a good idea to mention this in here, I wonder. Oh well, finger cross he's not going to read my blog.
Wish SSB was there too, we'll sure have loads of fun!
