Going to gym has been my routine since two years ago, not only wanted to shred off some “extra meat”, it’s a good channel to distress after a long hassled day.

I definitely look greater than before I started my exercise regime, feeling proud of the results by looking back the photos 3 years ago. Nevertheless, my knowledge on fitness is limited and my body condition became stagnant for a long period when reaching certain level.

Three months back, have forgotten what was the drive that made D, J and myself engaged our trainer, P.K. kicked off the weekly fitness training. P.K. is our personal friend, who has the qualification as fitness instructor as well as years experience in Taekwondo teaching.

D, J and I have different focus on our training agenda, one thing for sure is we all want to look better than right now. I can see my body muscle is being toned. Those hanging fat is gradually turned into proper muscle shape. I am liking it… nowadays I always stand in front of the mirror naked to check out which parts of my body need more work. Unfortunately, there are still lots of work to be done, arm, thigh, abdomen… just need lots of “fixing”.

Especially reaching the 30’s make myself more conscious not only on body shape, and also in general health. I eat less junk, less fried food, more skincare, more exercise… just try to delay the effect of aging.

Fitness becomes my choice of fundamental effort to retain youthness in life. I feel awesome to be fitting in a pretty clothes; I feel young to be able running more than 30 mins without gasping; I feel fruitful when finishing a session of training; I feel lively when my body in sweat; I feel stronger to hold the heavier dumbbell each time; I feel motivated to breakthrough my limitations; I want to feel more…

Picking up a recent photo 3 months later, I am confident I will have a broader smile.
