Lesson for the day: Train Smart. (Not Hard.)

12.30pm to United World College, Dover road. My first Meal of the day was 3 boiled eggs cooked in chilli and some random meat. VERY NICE. I ate them at the staircase at UWC’s sports hall.

I was quite dressy today with 3 inches killer heels. Yet, me being sporty and all tom-boyish still chose to sit on the staircase.

*Sorry bad pixelated picture. Promise I’ll get a better camera.

Went back to the office for awhile and drank my low carb banana protein shake with flaxseeds. Taste like ice-cream! The brand of the low carb protein shake is Biotest Metabolic Drive. I get my supply of flaxseeds at Phoon Huat near Holland Village or sometimes at Simei.

Now more about my training program. I lifted weights today in a moderate intensity fashion.

3 sets by 12 reps
A1) Squats Ass to Grass

A2) Push – Ups

B1) Sumo Deadlifts

B2) Bent Over rows

C1) Prone Jacknive

C2) Hip-thigh extension

I believe in training smart rather than training to failure all the time. On the record, perspiring is not a measure of how “hard” you train. Some clients told me that they felt they have worked out hard but they do not perspire much and wondered whether training was efficient.

Well, I replied – ” Do you see results? You can fit in your clothes better now right? You’re seeing definitions which you thought you would never see before.” They always answer a resounding YES! So there you go. Perspiring much or not is NEVER an indicator of whether you have worked out hard enough neither is feeling achy all the time.

After training, I packed up and went back home. Drank my last protein shake of the day with one serving of Omega 3 Fish oil.

Lesson for the day: Train Smart.

That’s my journal of Day 2. I promise more pictures and videos pretty soon alright!
