Not that I’m bragging, I am just proud of my self that I could still keep up in the game even I’ve been stale in doing exercises. It’s been months since the last time I visited the gym and my kettlebells and dumbbells was eventually been change to lifting rice bowls and pots.

The 7 sets I did was still an easy pace compare from my previous experiences I had but I do not want to really force my self on doing more. It was a routine of 5 push-ups, 10 sit-ups and 15 air squats. It was the warm up work out of the day and can be considered really light for those who have been doing this for quite sometime. I was able to do this when UNIQLO invited me to join them on a crossfit session at Primal Ape in Makati City. I was hesitant at first but the thought of challenging myself and doing better made me reconsider plus of course, It’s a free workout with a free wear.

I’ve been dreaming and wanting to have that (pa-yummy) hard bod! And I know it isn’t that easy to achieve specially if your above 25 already. I’ve been working out for almost 5 years now, but I guess my hard-work still didn’t paid off. Maybe I’m doing something that isn’t right or my time spent at the gym is not enough or maybe I’ve been eating the wrong foods.

I’ve been spending almost Php 1,500 per month just to get access to the gym facilities and been trying to visit as much as I could. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? Or I just need a certain push and the right execution to attain my goals. I know a lot of you can relate to what I’m saying, so keep on reading you might get something good from my recent discovery.

Since its introduction to me I was longing to try it once again. I said before that doing so is quite suited in my lifestyle. Crossfit will only take less than an hour or even minutes of continuous hardcore bodyweight exercises, perfect suited in my busy schedule.

But even though I thought of that before I still haven’t got a chance to do it. I Don’t know, maybe i’m just pre-occupied recently. As to what Gelli Victor said to me once, “time is not an excuse, it will never happen unless you put it on the priority list.” I realise that actually, but I was a bit hesitant even more because of my work.
