An empty gym !?!

Earlier this year MAKSAK opened a mini gym at the place where i work. its really teeny weeny by most standards but equipped with brand new stuff (mainly 3 threadmills, 2 bikes, a compact weightlifting/body toning centre and some other whatchamacallits). open workdays to all civil servants from 4.30 pm to 7 pm where tuesdays & thursdays are reserved for women.

Its for free but the surprising thing is.... sometimes nobody seem to be using it !!!!!!! sayang kan, all that equipment wasting away like that. tadi i was 'the lone threadmill runner' (said in the same tone one would use for 'the lone ranger' heheh). had the place all to myself so i stayed on for over an hour. sampai sudah nobody turned up (boring giler takde teman nak pok pek lol). tsk tsk tsk ... what can i say.... some people just dont seem to appreciate what's available for them. its free.... free !!!


Workout for the day: pounding the threadmill

Time: 62 mins

Incline: 1 & 2

Speed: 5 mins warming up & cooling down each at 5, 50 mins at mostly 7-8 with short bursts of 9.

Distance: 7.1 km

Calories burned: 490

State of mind & body: a little tired but plenty happy :)

Most of the people close to me are couch potatoes (used to be one myself lol) so i dont really know where i'm going with this, whether i'm doing ok or otherwise. but i do know it feels great !!!

I think tonite i'd better continue my reading of the tafsir alquran.... its been awhile.

tu lah li, klu aunty X pegi rasa rugi sesangat. sedihkan.... when so many of us who are into mindless eating, are also into being 'actively' inactive *sigh* my kiddos included.
