Fitness First

Wonder wad the title means? Haha..it's the name of the fitness ctr tat i went today with my cousin..this is the first time i went for such workout so everything is a brand new experience to me..We two went to the Raffles Place branch at 7 as i needed to wait until my cousin finished work..we first toured ard the place with one of the staff..the interior was pretty small( but city area every inch costs money) with the usual treadmills, cycling machines and weight-lifting stuff etc, the exterior has a mini swimming pool ,outdoor weight lifting equipments and a small pavillion for their pilate or aerobics lessons..well normal haha..but it was fun getting quality treatments rather than the old n rusty machines tat we usually worked out in school..

We started with the treadmills (ok this is the first time tat i run so long on it)..there is a meter on each machine stating how much calories we burnt..so we ran ard 30mins and burnt 100calories before we finally stopped..i din really keep up with running as i long long nv had a decent jog ever since i kept falling sick in Uni..i juz maintained my speed, changing from a run to a brisk walk...we were all sweating away after our 'supposed' warm-up..the funny thing is the moment we stepped off the machine..we couldn't stand still..it seems as though one small step we took was fast-fowarding..so we looked like 2 unbalanced zombies trying to walk haha...

There is one good thing about the place: we get free drinks (all self-service) like soft-drinks and hot drinks and apples to munch on..the members can still rent cds and vcds..after a quick drink we went on to the cycling machine which we cycled another 20mins and burnt 100 calories as our goal again..phew by then our legs were alr so wobbly (my poor cousin gotta keep up with me)..then we decided to work our upper bodies instd..did some weight lifting, crunches, leg press etc..juz trying out the machines as we only have 7 days free...after tat i still wanna try the dunno-wad's-tat machine and the stairs climbing machine...did not tat much cos our legs were really quite tired..mine alr slightly trembling..

We decided to go for the steam bath inside the women's changing room..it's great tat they provide t-shirts n shorts in additional to towels for which we can bathe there..i did my very first steam bath there too..it's really funny for me to walk ard the changing room with only one towel wrapped ard my body haha..but since all gals inside and i'm not the only one doing tat..*cough* tat's ok i guess haha...not too much details then..so we went in for 15mins? time seems to crawl inside..damn hot inside..within secs i got water all over my body..dunno izit sweat or the water vapour..i muz cover my face with the small towel or else my nostrils were like burning and cant even breathe properly..u always see models posing nicely in the photos right? i dun even dare to lean on the walls..knowing my skin will be burnt bleah..so awkward inside haha..it's really v v hot!!

after a burning session ( which my cousin seems to enjoy alot), we cooled down abit n went to bathe..they even hav hair conditioner provided..but not a very good one tho..my hair kinda dried after tat...i really enjoyed the facilities inside..cos i love warm water for my bath..it's like a high class hotel bathroom inside..with hair dryer, cotton wool n even combs provided..we can really come n go easily..today is really fun n i enjoyed all the facilities there but..oh no i can predict my butt gonna hurt again tmr..!!
