Madmackie's Vertigo of Insanity

Another terrific BP by WPC

I’m nuts about BP. Some people will love some other programs. Well, I’m ok with it. This is what make the world goes round, ain’t it? I was rather early, so I did a little warm up before entering the class. I saw WPC on the way out from the changing room. Ok, so I guess WPC will be teaching today. WPC seldom skip or cancelled any classes. I’m returning to my normal warm up weights! Yeah… guess I’m stronger now huh? Love the squat track. WPC love to played tracks from older release. Make yo body pump (BP 45). Love it! I’ve forgotten how hard this track could be! Then my all-time fav, “Sweet Child of Mine” all the way from BP 37!!! Incredible!! The endless guitar sound was simply irresistible! Gosh my arm was hurting!! Back track was from “In your life” (BP 47). Can’t help singing to that song!! My fav triceps dips was there with “Who Knew”. Gosh simply LOVE that song! Picked up a few tips given by WPC. All in all I was enjoying doing BP by WPC! Later I was aching on my shoulders and arms. It felt like hell. But I love it! S & M? Yes, Violet would know better hor? Another TERROR- FILLED class by WPC. J

And then Disaster strike…..

Waking on Sundays was usual for me other than all my muscles was aching and sore. It must be a combo of V’s yoga, BP and well more of BP again!!! My Gosh, my chest and triceps was hurting like mad! I’ve decided to go for BS. Love “structure” class now that I’m a bit “Chi Tun” (blur blur-slow on my response!). I was there to attend FFK Instructor’s Class (Note: Name was given based on my experience). FFK was as usual. Superb in giving cues. I love that on any instructor. The only thing is weeks after I’ve last attended FFK’s class, FFK was still doing the same tracks! Well, if not all tracks. Duh!! What a bore to members! Other than that I was happily “stomping” on the board! Recounting my newly regained stamina!

And then disaster strike….It was the speed track. S was “shadowing” FFK Instructor. S took over the mic. Now, I’m ok with any newbie trying to a mark for their own name. BUT definitely NOT at the expenses of the members!!!! I’m not sure who is doing correctly or who is not. All I know is S and FFK stopped in the MIDDLE of the track. Not ONCE BUT TWICE!! The same speed track! Members were confused! I’m not smiling. Some are turning right instead of left. Some just stopped and watching. Including yours truly. In this instance I blame it on FFK as FFK is more ‘seasoned’. He should guide S.

Pumping after yoga

Anyone know the feeling of doing BP after Yoga? No, I don’t mean instructor. I mean member. Because generally Instructor are stronger. – so I heard. :p

V’s yoga is always a struggle for me. With my muscles still aching from Pilates and what not, I brace myself for another V’s yoga. I did manage to complete the class. Whether I’m doing the entire “advance pose” or not, well we shall not discussed on that. FYI I’m still a beginner in yoga. – That would explain much huh?

I find that TC’s member are comparatively more KS (Kia Su) than the other members. Reason being they don’t wait for other member to come out from the earlier class before entering. They will just…. Well ….dash in! The first time I did back to back classes, a man actually waited for my mat while I’m still trying to put on my shoe. OMG. Then I said to him “I’m using this mat”. With an angry face of coz!!! Straight to his face no less! Wakakakkakaka…….. It was not a very pleasant experience.

Well, last week was a little better. I get someone to help me in getting a board while I make sure that NO one takes our mat and place! LOL……. Talk bout KS huh? LOL if you can’t fight ‘em, join ‘em!!!

We saw Violet outside the studio before Yoga. Violet mention she was late. I was rather shocked as I thought I saw Violet’s car at the car park. Later I found out that you gotta also check out the plat number before making a conclusion! Silly on my part!

Nevertheless, it was a superb BP’s class. I love it. The selection of songs was fantastic. More importantly it has my fav triceps dips!!! Couldn’t be better!!!!

I’ve forgotten all about my muscles aches …. well for a while that is… J

Stepping up?

Well I managed to attend BS by TLS (Terrifying Lunges & Squad) Instructor last week. It not easy to go to TLSI’s class. Seldom teach there.

Personally I felt better than my first class with “Cikgu” after weeks of not doing BS. Much better than the 1^st BS’s class actually. I still have trouble with “across the board” still. Almost slipped there…..Never EVER stop your workout for toooooooo lonnnnngggg. Gosh didn’t know that it is so hard to start back again!

Wooah, I’m impressed! TLSI has improved so much!!. The first class TLSI teach, TLSI keeps on forgetting the step. Now……well, he did manage to remember all the choreo and much more……J Good for the member I would say….

I’m pleased that my stamina is stepping up again. A few weeks and I shall be able to take back my intermediate steps that I’ve left weeks earlier…..

Like this and like that…….

“ Bend your back like this….” “ Make sure you back leg is lifted up, like this….” And so my yoga class begin. Dr. Yoga was teaching on that day. Me after punching my card sharp on time, I manage to go to Dr. Yoga’s class. Mr. Botak has said before that Dr. Yoga’s class is very slow compared to V’s. I agreed this one focuses more on stretching and breathing. I wouldn’t say that V didn’t focuses on your breathing. Its just that V’s class is more advance.

Me being the beginner, I just gotta love Dr. Yoga’s class. The first time I went to his class i was with my friend. Couldn’t wait for the class to finish. It was a torture. That was my first class of yoga.

Forward into 2007, yesterday was my first class with Dr. Yoga. I felt the class finishes pretty fast! I found myself wanting more of the stretches. I need it. I must confess that I’m addicted to it already!

The yogis beside me were very good. Even Dr. Yoga had to say he is very good!! Someday I’m gonna be like that……….
