Getting active!

Thinking back, I used to be a physically active girl. I was a school representative for tennis, an instructor for Outdoor Adventure Club, went for multiple camps and sea sports expedition. After I graduated, I continued with jogging, tennis and badminton.

Till I gotten pregnant with my first child, all these activities ceased as we were busy with the child and busier along with secondborn. Though I have been tempted to get my kids involved in getting active together, I have never really sprung into action. Been wondering if it was due to too much workload (either busy working over weekends at events, or rushing work at home or just to catch up on my sleep) or simply pure laziness. It could be due to both or the latter.

Anyway I am glad that I have decided to start the ball rolling by signing up for Cold Storage Run for kids. I hope that this will be a good start for the family to get active together.

Last Thursday, I reached home early as my hubs was around my office and he turned over to pick me up. Hence I decided to utilise my trial package at Amore Fitness since Seletar Mall is just a stone away from my place. Being inactive for so long, it felt great with the workout. I went for Step Basic, recommended for beginners as I have to confess that I have not been exercising for donkey years. I started out feeling clumsy as my limbs seems un-coordinated. But 15 minutes into the workout, I felt good as my body got into the rhythm.

After the workout, I realised that we were able to utilise the gym facilities so I went onto the threadmill as there are still some time before I had to fetch my girl from her art class. It really felt great to be sweating it out! I felt more recharged after the 1.5hours session in Amore Fitness.

Now that I have started my workout regime, I hope I can keep to visiting the studio and gym at least once a week. And I really ought to train for the upcoming run with my kids.

Cheers to getting active & healthy once more!
