Do You Want Nice Flat Abs?… Then Don’t Run!

I started my day by working out. Put on my pair of running shoes and jogged out to the running track near my house.

There is no excuse Really to not exercise at all! I live near the Stadium with complete fitness facilities. The only excuse one can give would be LAZYNESS.

Here’s my training program for the day
Sprint :Rest ratio is 1 :1
Slow Jog 5 Minute (Warm-Up)
Sprint 1 minute
Jog Moderately 1 minute (Breathe, “Rest”, Recover)
Sprint 1 minute
Jog moderately 1 minute (Breathe, “Rest”, Recover)
Sprint 1 minute
Cool down (Jog moderately but a little slower) 5-7minute (Breathe, “Rest”, Recover)
In total, I decided to sprint 3 times. I felt like puking after that last sprint… URGH! However after the entire 17 minutes of workout, I felt a good rush of euphoric feeling. It is all worth it! Waking up earlier to make time for my health makes me more responsible and inculcate better time-management, self-discipline and a sense of balance in my life.
In efforts to be more interactive with you readers, share with me your views on this question:
Do You Think To Get That Nice Flat Abs, You Should Do More Slow-Paced Running or Sprints?

Feel free to ask me any other questions here by leaving a comment on this blog post. I am trying to install something which would be easier for YOU to ask me questions and at the same time keep in touch. *I’ll get to it by this week.*
ANYWAY…
After the crazy sprints, I thought it would be great to get creative and sink myself in a movie. I did just that and watched Iron Man! Robert Downey Jr full-swing back into his acting genius, is exceptional as Iron Man. A superhero flick with the message that an arms dealer can see the light and give up the business of making a profit on the death of others.

I love IRON MAN! Look at that details of Red and Gold! I feel like buying the Iron Man figurines. The BIGGER the better! I love such toys! It depicts being strong and fit.
Alright, a random picture of me today. The Lighting in the room is too bright! I don’t photoshop pictures. Not because I don’t want to but because I feel that it is not necessary to alter anything. Save Time? Wore a cap because I sprinted with it (Singapore has been intolerably HOT and HUMID.) and I just felt like being tom-boyish today.

Be Positive, Laugh And Smile Always!
