Working Out!
Mom and I started our workout around 10.45am on the treadmill, then started our Induction with the personal trainer, Pia at 11am. She made us fill out a questionnaire detailing our health condition and fitness (do you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems etc.) and also our preferred workout programme (ie. cardiovascular/weight & strength training/stretching etc). I also took the opportunity to tell Pia about my transplant and previous kidney failure, so she doesn't start me on too intense a programme.
Then she took our height and weight (to measure our Body Mass Index, B.M.I.) and also our body fat content... eeek! Hehhehe! Obviously my BMI is higher than the recommended range, so Pia suggested a weight loss of 7-11kg for me to reach my ideal BMI. Blimey! Wonder if I can do that in 3 months! Pia proposed a mix of cardiovascular workouts (treadmill, cycling) with alternate weight/strength training and the "Body Balance" classes (a mix of Yoga, Tai Chi & Pilates), and maybe also some dance classes "Body Jam" as well so I don't get bored.
She also gave us some advise on healthy eating habits and nutrition. HAHA! That's the difficult bit.... so much to eat! Why do yummy foods have to be fattening! Anyhoo, Pia says I can eat whatever I like, but to limit myself (ya-ha!) and be sensible (oookaaayy...)
Alright, alright, I'll give it a go... I mean what's the point of paying $500 if I don't see results right?! Ok... next session, Monday!
