Let’s get physical

Went to gym Sunday afternoon round past 5pm and for the first time in three months, I completed my routine: I did 30mins cardio and worked out muscle groups that need to be worked out. I even did three sets of 20 pump squats (with dumbels mimimimimi) and three sets of 20 crunches. It’s not much of a physical activity but it sweat the hell out of my stressed body. And to complete the Sunday gym experience, I had a sauna bath for friggin 30minutes! I know, I know that’s overacting but it felt good and I want to prolong it. It felt like I am sweating out all the negative vibes that has been residing in my mind, body and soul for the past weeks. Really, it was relaxing.

I think everyone should try doing regular exercises. It doesn’t necessarily  mean that you enroll yourself in a gym or something. A five-minute my-toes-my-heels-my-shoulder-my-head (lol) or jog-in-place everyday will do. Then you increase it to something more physically challenging, like walking or biking or rollerskating around your subdivision grounds. But seriously, there’s so much fun physical activities out there that we can engage ourselves with like dancing, aerobics, kickboxing etc. I have been attending dance classes the past months. I did aerobics when I was in college. And I tried kickboxing, too.

I must say, going back to these activities helped me to gain self-confidence again. I mean, self-esteem had been all-time low during the crisis I had with my most recent former boyfriend. But things are so much different now. I feel better about myself, I feel more sure and confident and pretty and sexy. Also, regular exercise helps keep the mind clear, or at least for me it does.

Later, I will try to have five sets of squats and crunches.
