Mind Vs Body

Day 3 [Mind vs Body]

Today, Ju and I ran 2.4km plus a round to warm up.

She has trying hard to get used to her rhythmic breathing, it possible that the pace was too fast. Need her to get use to the pace and get her mind to get the body going.

I played around with the mind today. First by getting her used to the pace of jogging for 4 rounds and later at the start of the 5th & 6th got her to do side shuttle first that mess up her momentum.

Rational was to get her mind to do the tough then back to the normal jog that makes it seems easier. The other was to messy up the heart rate to get it going hard to bring up the improvement allowing it to get use to a higher level to cardio.

Pushing it beyong it's comfort zone

Not bad got her to come out to start exercising..Yeah!!!

Going small and realistic

Been lazy to blog and to exercise after the last blog.

I have been thinking what can keep me going in helping me get my exercise routine going. In my head knowledge i know i must exercise to keep fit but i always lack the Discipline.

So i ask myself how i did it in the past. Last time, i used to have goals using races achievement to push me to keep me going step after step. However, that phrase of chasing accomplishment has gone pass the distance.

Now going deeper into the why?

Previously, it was the distance and the accomplishment.

Now using the same means to do it for longevity to live a longer and healthier life. I want to be able to run at the age of 60 with my grandchildren.

Day 2 [Two consecutive days of 2.4 km]

Yesterday, after accomplishing 2.4 km i thought to myself this is do-able. Though it's still a tough to run alone 6 rounds, i want to run so that i'm able to run it as ease. All i need to do is to get myself out of the house. 

Today, after going out i feel lazy to run as the weather looks bad. I immediately went back and change out, praying that Lord let it rain after i finish running. True enough after i step out of the lift lobby to my home, the rain just poured. 

I want to keep this going following a new ratio i gave myself. 

2 days run :1 rest

Cya in a day's time. :D

Catching my breath

DAY 1: Cardio (30 minutes) + Core Exercise

Breathe... Breathe..

Body feels so heavy and stamina shall shrank! Pat on the back for finishing 30 minutes cardio workout and 2 sets of core exercise.

Feel that my posture and the muscle surrounding it are weaked. Thus, going to start on a three days core workout to strength the main core muscles.

What are core muscles?

Core muscles are muscles that runs down the length of your torso and trunk. They function to stabilize the spine and pelvis which helps to generate powerful movements of the body.

Three types of simple core exercise

1. Plank 

 2. Side Plank 

3. Back Bridge

Core Workout for the Day: 30 seconds for each workout [2 sets]

Back!!! Running for a Different Reason

I'm back running! Now for a different reason, no longer running stair and achieving success in medal. Running for me brings a different meaning, a meaning of life, a healthy one that i may find more HAPPINESS in this life given.

Years ago i used to race competitively in stairs races, getting faster each year, winning more and more medals. Till an operation struck that brought me down to my weakest point, falling deep into the pit and over these few year i've struggle to get back up on my feet.

This struggle was due to the medals that i still hold, that i compared myself to my past than i was no where near there. It's disgusting how weak i have become but i'm glad it happen because from it i realized life was more than racing and winning medals. 

IT WAS FINDING OUT WHO I AM, NOT THE WINNER BEHIND THE MEDAL 

BUT THE TRUE ME.

Today i'm on a journey towards rebuilding my health body, sound mind and fruitful life.
