RPM
Yesterday, I was debating about whether to rent a bicycle and go biking after work. But remembering the weather forecast was for rain and lots of it, I decided to hit the gym instead. Woa, lucky! Big rain shower and it’s been raining since. Upon hitting the gym, I discovered I still had my old RPM music in my Clie.
WoooOOOHHH nice!
RPM by Les Mills is a very, very, very the cool version of Spinning indoor cycling classes. I had done the instructor’s course some moons ago, but as I was so damn busy doing personal training (how busy? I was working 7am to 10pm almost daily, business was good then…) I never got around to teaching any classes or do the follow up certification test, sigh, missed opportunities. But anyways, yesterday the cycle bug bit really hard and I hopped onto a standard gym bike and started pedaling. Now a Spinning cycle is VERY different to these electromechanical ones. For starters they are a lot smoother and more like a real bike, you can go fast, stand on them, and feels like a real bike, seats handlebars and toe clips in all.
A standard gym bike, sigh, is not very controllable, designed for people with probable back problems, i.e. you sit very upright and the seat is designed for comfort rather than performance. But, then over here, you can’t be choosy. So off I went, plugged in my headphones and did some 40 mins but finally I pengsaned.
Wah liao… I haven’t done a cycle like this for almost 1.5 years. God…..it was hard, sweated loads, the yucky bike didn’t help either….
But
But
But
Damn shiok! Saturday, I go again….
P/S: when I did the 3 day instructor’s course, I dropped 5kg, that’s how good it is…
Specially for Erika
The Eu Yang Sang version, similar to Malaysian/Cantonese style of BKT
This one also, personally I liked this one better.
If you prefer the Teochew version, which is not so dark and more peppery this is the one.
Enjoy!

FF, I shall tell Winn what blood type you are - mozzies tend to go for the 'O' type...cuz I'm an 'O' too. Do all the 'O' types on here agree??? ;)
BTW, you'll be pleased to know:
I am starting gym work next week - in the comforts of my own staff gym which is fully equipped. Seeing how hard you are working out is kinda 'pushing' me to get my butt off to do something about getting toned myself...kekeke

Message from May in Beijing:
may [19:14:12]: I've not been on my bike for the longest time too. Procrastinating! Also 'cos timing doesn't seem right these days, too many happenings at once. Eh, don't just show us the BKT packets, show us the B-K-T!!
