Just watch me BURN
aahaha, i have been burning since thursday, 25 jan 07, doing various forms of yoga, brisk walk at the treadmill, cycle and i must say it has made me energetic and high after office hours. now i have been more alert, feeling fresher. however i don't dare to say that my weighing scale has record any weight loss. nevertheless, let me share with you what types of yoga i have done and my feelings about them...
25 jan - hartha multi level yoga
i went in late and my 1st time ager 3 years break from yoga nearly made me feel i am not as nimble and flexible... some poses (aka asanas) are making me feeling like a humty dumty. thank god, i come out in one piece.
26 jan/2 feb - fusion dance (bollywood music with indian and modern dance steps)
this 1 hour session really made me sweat. the music is nice and some of the indian moves really make use of the simple yoga poses. i danced out of sync but for the fun of it... it was good form of cardio vascular exercise! (the instructor is handsome and moves well. he looks a bollywood star... no more King of Bollywood - Shahrukh Khan! only Sri! LOL...)
we dance to this music from Main Hoon Na - Chale Jaise
27 Jan - intro to astanga yoga
though it is an introduction, i really sweat out in this 90 mins workout too. Stanley was the instructor, he has a clean and boyish face. guess alot of my LJ friends will like him!
on top of this 90 mins workout, i did a 20 mins brisk walk prior to this session. a good burn fat day!
28/30 jan - treadmill
nothing spectacular as i decided to give yoga or other forms of instructor led class a miss. :D 35- 40 mins of workout.
29 jan - gentle (yoga)
this is less taxing and i quite like the fluidity of this workout. the instructor, Yaad, has a funny way of pronouncing "feel" as "peel"! i was trying hard to deciper it till 10 mins later then i understand what he meant!
1 feb - Hot (yoga)
Hot?! well, the room is heated to a min of 30C and when i started breathing, i perspired. 30 mins to workout, i was lamenting... why am i suffering in this heated room! my dri-fit adidas tee was 40% drenched. this class is toughtest of all i ever attended the last 7 days!
coupled with high temperature and advanced yoga poses, i nearly give up. i am glad that i completed the exercise. this session is definitely good for those who want to lose weight fast... i really mean REAL FAST!
3 feb - prana and meditation
coming up at 230pm later.
meanwhile, i remember of my idol's song one phrase of its lyrics - Just watch me burn!
Let It Be - Madonna
Now I can tell you about success, about fame
About the rise and the fall of all the stars in the sky
Don't it make you smile?
Let it will be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be?
Now I can tell you about the place I belong
You know it won't last long
And all those lights they will turn down
Let it will be
Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be?
Now I can see things for what they really are
I guess I'm not that far
I'm at the point of no return
Just watch me burn!
Let it will be
Just let it be
Oh let it be
Then it will be (Just let it be)
Just let it be (Let it will be)
Oh let it be (Got to let it be)
Oh let it be (Won't you let it be?)
Now I can tell you the place that I belong
It won't last long
The lights, they will turn down
Oh let it be
Oh let it be
Oh let it be (Won't you let it be?)
Oh let it be (You've got to let it be)
Oh let it be (Anyone can see)
Oh let it be (Let it will be)
Just watch me burn!
Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be?
Won't you let it be? (Just let it be)
Oh let it be (Let it will be)
Just let it be (Got to let it be)
Won't you let it be? (Won't you let it be?)
Won't you let it be?
Now I can tell you (Oh let it be)
tell you, tell you, tell you, tell you (Just let it be)
About success, about fame (Won't you let it be)
About fame, about fame (Won't you let it be)
About fame, about fame
Oh let it be
Just let it be
Won't you let it be?
