Bodybuilding is not just about muscles

There are many values to be learn from bodybuilding.. It's not just about muscles, 6 packs, men in tight underwear on stage outdoing each other.... It's not even about how heavy you bench. If this is your opinion on bodybuilding then you have yet stepped into the world of pumping iron.

You see, bodybuilding is more than just working out in the gym or to some in the big field or track field. Being one mean we have to constantly watch our diet, manage our time and dedicate ourselves to a routine and stick to all those mention above. If you have tried dieting then you would know what I mean pure dedication to what you have set out to achieve. It's not impossible. Nothing is ever impossible. And I've used myself as an example. I've been maintaining my diet since 2008. Since the day I made up my mind to make a change. Initially it was hard, trust me, I've to drag myself out of the chocolate aisle in a supermarket and ppl around thinks im nuts.. muahaha.... bt then.. whenever my subconscious tell me that it's ok, there's always another day to start .. I put a stop to it and tell myself, "NO!" if i don start today, i'll never begin. From here, we learn determination, discipline, determination and never to give up or give in easily.

I know its hard to keep up with family, friends, work and exercise. but try this, my previous job requires me to be on call anytime cause too many last minute jobs and most of the time iv to work 16 hrs a day. I make sure I wake up 5am everyday to get my cardio in and make breakfast, snacks and lunch before I head out to work. It's not an easy task either. I've to pull myself out of the bed, walk to the washroom with my eyes close and boil water too in that state. lol. then whenever i've no last minute work, i'll hit gym. sometimes, the call time is around 7pm. Il take my dinner and rush to the gym and finish off by 6:30pm.. you see, if you set your priority right, it's almost impossible not to get everything in.. I know a lot of ppl who kept on telling me that they wanna slim down and workout bt every time they have free up time, they will be loitering around shopping complex, clubbing, drinking in a pub, sitting around the coffee shop... etc... even if its only 30 mins a day, its already sufficient enough to burn fats and build muscle.. it's all bout learning to set your priority right and manage your time properly.

so don't just go to the gym to workout or build muscle.. but learn bout human value as well..

PERFECT 10 to LIFE

A lot of people think that to obtain health one must work their ass off in the gym and pump till their knees shiver at every step, feels like crawling to their car and drives painfully home. And at home, they don't even feel like cooking or doing any house chores.. hence, the classes became an all time favourite where everyone rush from work to the fitness center to join a group of friends to tire themselves out which made them felt better. The more fatigue they felt, the more they feel their fats torched.... or is it? most of these classes works and they do burn calories... but only if proper nutrition is consumed. If not, the muscles are burnt along with the fats.. sometimes more cause our body is a biological Artificial Intelligence whereby it will do anything to keep our body in neutral state if not perfect. So the less calorie left in the body, the more it will keep fats to save it as emergency energy due to the starvation state and the more muscle it will burn as fuel for the body unless of course, you feed it. Even so, your body's mechanism has already recognized and accepted the new settings thinking you will starve it anytime soon, it will store more fats. So Classes is an awesome workout to torch the fats but without proper guidance, it might just have the opposite effects.... ANYWAYS........

.... that's not what I'm going to emphasis on today... and right here right now, I'm going to take your NO1 reason to procrastinate on obtaining health... "NO TIME" and throw it into the bin... What I'm trying to say is that you don't need a whole 2 hrs a day o 4 or even 1 hr a day to get in shape.. would you believe me when I say YOU NEED 10 :) Yeah! that's right... YOU NEED 10 A DAY TO MAINTAIN GREAT HEALTH!!!! ..... here's how......

Kindness Exploited.....

Haiz.... just this month... I was working for an event... and Like my Part-time boss... He's been asking me to be at KL at 7am sharp... If I were to follow the normal routine... I'll be taking a bus from my place to the LRT station which takes 15 - 20 min... Using the LRT, I'll have to go to KL sentral which takes another 20 min... then I'll have to walk to the monorail which takes 5 - 8 min... and take the monorail to the location.. which takes another 10 min.... and I have to walk again... which is like another 5 - 10 min.... all and all... 68 min.... so getting there 7 sharp means that I have to start my journey at 5:30am... but.. the best part is.... there is no bus at that hour... and the earliest bus service starts at 6am.. which will reach my place at 6:30am.... so ... I had to walk from my place to the LRT Station which takes 1hr... meaning ... I have to wake up at 4am, start my walk at 5am..... :S

it weren't tat bad actually... but.. I was so low on my finances that period of time that I only took one roti Canai per day for 3days... and with the walk, I was half dead... Almost fainted 15 mins away from the station... but I pushed myself to carry on...almost crawled all the way to the station...lol.. Gosh, the station was like Utopia... and when I finally made it.... the guy who asked me to be there at 7am sharp is still sleeping at home when he was suppose to meet me and pass me the AV equipments... oh... I reached the location at 6:45am.... can you believe it?? but thank God that they serve buffet and I got to fill up... lol

oh... same thing happened on the 2nd day.... when he told me no later than 7:15am.... he came at almost 8am...
