New Year, WORK it OUT!

Before I forget, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What better way to start off the year if not a pair of good runners? Its been long enough since I've gotten myself a pair of runners since my late Nike of good 4 years. And, I've been longing to try out the Adidas's Clima Cool Ride. Unfortunately, I wasn't 'in' enough with the trend and was told that the Adidas outlets no longer have these runners. Hence, I settled with the Adidas CC Chill.

# 360 degrees ventilation ( unfortunately this CC Chill does not provide a 360 degrees ventilation, probably only 280degrees; good enough!) Several parts of the shoes are covered with synthetic/ textile material.

# reduces in-shoe moisture levels

# reduces perspiration in shoe and sock

# lowers temperature in-shoe during running

# heat reduction abilities improves overall running performance

 

Not forgetting another essential item; the carrier! The Adilibria Workout Bag. 

Apart from a good pair of runners, your gym bag is another 'must-have'. Well, this is my first. I've always had this problem when: 

Each time I hit the gym, I'll have to trouble myself ransacking the entire room looking for a worn out "gym bag" just so its alright to keep the dirty, sweaty clothes and stinky shoes. Now with a designated bag just for gym, I can save all that hassle ;) 

Description: 

Sporty, modern and feminine. This bag has its own designated compartment ( comes with a removable shoe bag), as well as dividers for body care items! This bag features one main zip compartment, two side compartments and a valuable pocket thats zipper secured. 

 

Now, I sure am ready and geared up to hit the gym for a healthy start! 

I have succumbed into a terribly unhealthy eating habit over the past 2 months. My excuse? 

-Prison break ever since BeautyCamp and hence walloping everything edible that comes in my way

-It was holiday season! 

Haha. Only losers would give excuses and my new year's resolution would be to start FIT & HEALTHY. Be gone fats and excuses! Haha. Do or die, like I always say. 

Here are a few workout tips which I reckon would help those that are as eager to get fit and healthy as I am ;) Also, check out this video of the right way of doing the Half Push-ups, demonstrated by yours truly.

And the following is a workout regime by my all time favourite, Nicole Scherzinger. This workout as designed by her trainer, Adam Ernster will promise to have your abs sculpted within a month!

How it works:

Three times a week, do 2 or 3 sets of each move in order without resting in between. 

 

1. Slide Out (Works Core and Shoulders): Get in plank position with hands on Valslides or towels. Press left hand down as you slowly slide it forward [shown]. Return to starting position and repeat on right side to complete 1 rep. Do 10 reps. (If this move is too challenging, try it with your knees on the ground.)

2. Triple Threat (Works Abs): Lie faceup with legs extended toward ceiling, feet flexed and arms at sides. Raise hips [A]; lower to starting position. Do 10 reps.

Next, place hands behind head and bend knees 90 degrees. Curl knees toward chest [B]; lower to starting position. Do 10 reps. Last, place feet on floor and extend arms straight up from chest.

Raise head and shoulders [c]; lower. Do 10 reps.

3. Reverse Chop (Works Core): Hold a weighted ball with both hands in front of hips, and stand with feet wider than shoulders, knees slightly bent. Rotate shoulders to the left, bringing ball outside left hip [A].

Twist torso to the right as you raise ball up at a diagonal to the right [B]. Return to starting position. Do 12 to 15 reps, then switch sides to complete set.

Remember the Double D's? Discipline and Determination is the key! Happy working out!
