Dear bloggie,
Taken the body composition test at Midvalley's Fitness Concept shop. Just have to stand on the machine and let the dude input some parameters like age and height. Then with the weight the machine taken, it will calculate ur body composition. So without further ado, my body composition results:
Body Type: Standard
Gender: Male
Age: [Censored]
Height: 174cm
Weight: 65.8kg
BMI: 21.7
BMR: 1527kcal
Fat%: 16.3%
Fat Mass: 10.7kg
FFM: 55.1kg
TBW: 40.3kg
Target BF%: 23%
Predicted weight: 71.5kg
Predicted fat mass: 16.4kg
Fat to gain: 5.7kg (WTF!!??)
Hahaha... Based on the stats, I not fat enuff... Sadly, I think my muscle no improvement, based on my weight. Was already 65kg, a year ago... Though I think I drop 1% for body fat, I recall I was 17.xxx% one a year ago...
Still got 3-4 months for the 1 year cycle to end... Dunno can gain atleast another 0.5kg ar not in that time frame. At least my weight return to 65kg level, it took a sharp drop after last year's Penang bridge marathon, teetering around 63kg. My deduction on why my muscle no grow is most likely I do less weights nowdays. I mean, between yoga, pilates, running and weight... I think very hard to fit all 4 into my schedule. I some more want to try out Pilates reformer training... Dunno how to organize time for all these activities. The main issue is probably the fact I can at most workout 2 hours max a day and will need at least 1 day off any physical activity, hence it's hard to juggle between these activities.
Dear bloggie,
I decided to put an end to a curiosity of mine... Taichi class is how one leh in Fitness First? Being a ex-regular of Body Balance class, I got do some ciplak motions of taichi before, usually during warm up and found it quite easy to perform...
So today, I decided to jump into the unknown again... and entered my 1st taichi class (Actually, I went last week but the class got cancelled). This taichi class actually belong to monday "early" morning slot one, but somehow got swap to sunday "late" morning slot instead (No participant in Monday morning maybe?). Anyway, the sifu is as babelicious 24 years old single chick with D size boobs... Okay! Okay! I'm pulling ur leg, the sifu is an old man... Rosak my fantasy onli...
Got 7 people onli (Including me) join this class today. So the class started out with some Taichi 101 by Sifu Sim. He started blabbering about taichi, the school of taichi, benefits, etc... Now I usually welcome theory lessons, but I personally find his blabbering very hard to comprehend... Why leh? Cause he talkin in Mandarin and my Mandarin is below so-so onli. I have to fill in the blanks cause got quite alot of words I dunno he was saying in Mandarin. Sux... Next week class, definitely will point out I dunno Mandarin de.
Anyway, after a rather lengthy Taichi for Dummies theory, we finally start of to do some Taichi moves. I was expecting him to at least teach me how to throw a palm that could make the ground explode like in the wuxia movies but instead he teach how to slowly move hands up and down. Jokes aside, I was indeed expecting something basic for this class. Now, maybe it's just wishful thinking, imagination or maybe I'm just simply high (Forgot to take my high blood drugs today), but I do feel something in my palm when I do this move really slowly. It's subtle but it's there. Sifu say it's chi. Chi as in thing that Son Goku uses to do his Kamehameha. We did quite a few reps of this move, which is logic since how to do Tai"chi" if you can't even feel your chi to begin with?
Sifu managed to slot in a few more moves (3-4 moves I think) for this class. The moves are performed in a sequence, and the new move will be added to the end of the sequence. I understand there is around 49 moves in the whole sequence from the secret kungfu manual he printed/photostatted out for us (I wonder if he got Tuk Ku Kau Kim manual). We practically repeated the sequence for a few reps, while he corrected our pose (Knee, palm, elbow, etc)... Feel like yoga except there's totally no tension in your body. This is the very few instances where I no sweat in a class (Other was in yoga class where air cond was rosak and can't turn off changing the room into a freezer). I understand (or is guessing from Sifu's rants in Mandarin), we should perform taichi in a relax condition, mind and body.
I think I was rather lucky in the sense since the class students are all new, so the Sifu don't do all the fancy moves (Palm that got glowing yellow light or hand circling motion which make a Ying Yang symbol shield appear) and start from the basics. Anyway, looking forward towards the next class... Hopefully the sifu will teach more moves and I hope got teach me a move that can throw a gust of wind infront of me, so I can make girl's skirt fly up... Wahahaha...
