Circus
I had to go through 8 weeks of Circus Intro twice before it was safe to let me continue with Circus Level 1. So glad for that. Better second time around. Safer.
Silks. Hoop. Static Trapeze.
Still kinda scary up there but better.
Not sure whether I'm actually enjoying this class or not. But I believe I am stronger somewhat.

Somehow managed to complete it. No training. Not a respectable time. Bike leg took 20minutes longer than I anticipated. But I enjoyed the scenery. And I tried to encourage people along the way. Especially the overweight angmoh whose face was all red and only had one bottle. Reminded him to remember to hydrate.

6 days went by & didn't do anything. Gasp.
Sun 15 Jan. My first Circus class. Scary hanging upside down & being off the ground like that.
Upper body was aching till Wed!
Fri 20 Jan. My first Cirq Prac class. Those advance students doing even scarier stuff. It's fun. I can now do the mermaid, man on the moon and amazon. Also 2 standing things with the Lyra.
Still energized so went for a jog past Bee Ann's house.
Sat 21 Jan. Mandai loop on my Tommasini.
Sun 22 Jan. Mandai loop on my Bella.

7 Jan Sat. Lovely cool morning. Left home 7am headed towards NUS. Aching thighs up Kent Ridge after Clementi Road. Thru NUH then Holland Road & 6 Ave. Happy.
8 Jan Sun. Matt cooking tenderloin so I did my squats, weights etc. Nice stretch.

The Hill

New year. New resolve. New blog. New exercise plan.
Dedicated to the hill just a few steps away. I think that's going to make a big difference to get my desired results.
1 January. Kicked off well. Tim went swim run @ Sentosa. Matt & I worked the hill once before started to drizzle. No matter. Matt did his weights routine. I rowed 5K and did the weights.
2 January. Nice ache from the day before. Cycled 45km Orchard and Mandai loop with TT & guys. Breakfast at Hua Guan.
3 January. Spent day in office.
4 January. Did the hill 5 times. Panting away but rewarded with nice breeze on top of Sunset Ave. Continued with triples repeated.
Reverse lunge. Weighted squat. Bent push-ups.
Planks. Hanging on chin-up bar. Dumbell over head lying down.
Dumbell from side lying down. Dumbell lift standing. Something else.
Music makes a difference.
Set up the vintage CD player. Worked out to Eagles.
