PUSH to New Year Challenge

I heard you fitness junkies love partying, so I put a workout in your party so you can workout while you partying.

You start today, by repeating this workout until New Year's Eve.

Do a 50 reps of jumping jacks as warm-up then proceed to:

Workout 1: Pedulum side kicks x 30 reps
 You will be in the position as above and as you alternate to the other leg, you will do a slight jump. For beginners you may do step-by-step movement.

Workout 2: High knees x 50 (25 each leg)

Repeat these two workouts 3-6 rounds as a circuit. You may time yourself to track your 3 days progress.

Good luck! Wish you had a great 2011 and a Happy New Year 2012 in advance!

Stay healthy and fit into another awesome year of 2012

Happy Holidays! Welcome 2012 - Weekend break Notice

 Here to wish all a Happy New Year and Holidays in advance.
This week's notice:
NO PUSH class for 31st Dec 2011 - 1st Jan 2012

Although there won't be PUSH class, please do some exercise and eat right to kick start. It's time to review your current fitness goals and setting for next year.

Some tips to help you setting next year's fitness goals:
1. Lean Body Lifestyle's setting SMARTER goals.
2. Do HIIT as a challenge if you've been doing long hours cardio and see no difference.
3. Look for me at CoreFitness if you're interested in membership and personal training. I will be a full-time personal trainer there starting 3rd January 2012. I'm very grateful for this opportunity to join the Energy team.
4. Join Cruz Fitness + Fight Studio, Putatan especially if you stay around that area. You may consult gym owner, Faye, and the rest of the instructors there.


Next post, I'll blog about my fitness goals here for 2012. A tease - one of them is to become ACE certified personal trainer by graduating from FIT Malaysia.

Merry PUSH Christmas! - With 5 days to Christmas Exercise Challenge

Okay! Starting tomorrow, its only 5 days til Christmas! OMG OMG those foods I'm gonna binge this season!

OLIN! so many TARPS (inside joke, long story short it refers to "junk/sugary/sinful/simple-carb packed" foods).

Well, afraid not! As long as you have been following the 5 tips to stay in shape since beginning of Dec and until now, you're fine.
Get presents yo. If you wanna give me something, a pair of 20oz boxing gloves will do, temakaseh!
I already got myself a present anyways, its le Gymboss. Essential stuff as a BodyRocker ;)
BUT, that's not all. I'm here to give an extra top-off exercise challenge (meaning, if you do your regular workouts, this will be an add-on to it. ESPECIALLY for those who don't exercise at all, you gotta try this.) Work for it! So you can enjoy your jolly Christmas meals!

Let the countdown begins -

5 Days Exercise Challenge! No equipments! No Excuse! Just YOU

20th Tuesday Exercise:

High-knees 100 reps (50 each leg)
Beginners can march without jumping, but get your knees up!


One leg wall-sit (each leg 1 minute)
Beginners can start with both legs supporting. Try do 2 minutes with a short break in between.

21th Wednesday Exercise:

Lunges 50 reps (25 each leg)
Beginners just do step-by-step lunges. Normal do jump lunges. Advance can add-on weights.
 Squat (2 minutes, stop your timer if you rest then continue the timer until you get a full 2 minutes thigh burning!)
Important note: Make sure you're sitting back while you knees don't pass your toes.

22nd Thursday Exercise:

Side jump lunges 100 reps (50 each leg)
Beginners don't have to jump, just step side to side touching the floor as fast as you can.
 Alternating side planks 50reps (25 each side)


23rd Friday Exercise:

Mt.Climbers 100 reps (50 each leg)
Sprint, hop, twist. You name it, variety mt.climbers are sweet. But if you're starter just stick to the basic running climb.
Tricep dips with alternating legs up 40 reps (20 each legs) - Dip as you place your leg back on the floor and go back straight while switching the legs.
Beginners - you can dip just a little, or do a regular tricep dip like the following using a chair/bench/something equal to sitting level.


24th Saturday Exercise (Its Christmas Eve!):

JOIN PUSH CLASS for 2 Hours!


10am -12pm at CRUZ FITNESS & Fight Studio.

And for those who can't make it, do the following - Time for some abs action. psst, PUSHers, if we have extra time we'll do the following ;)

Toe touch crunches 100 reps

Plank for 5 minutes (including rest, but please keep your rest to a minimal)
Beginners can do this. Oh no you didn't, fitness junkies, please do the normal ones i.e. on elbows.
I used Zuzana as workout demonstration for this blog. However, as soon as I get on a good smart phone, I'll post workout as myself mmkay? Let's make it 2012 resolution ^_^

So what about 25th Christmas ?????

Freestyle 100!!!!

Wait, what? Yes, you can choose a form of exercise to do it on a 100 reps. Example - 100 Jumping jacks, 100 Burpees, or 100 of any above exercises I've mention.
Run, Santas, Run~!
 Or a 100 meters sprint. Be creative.

Most importantly, you enjoy your Christmas. No guilt on cookies, pastas or fruit cakes, oh puhlezz be jolly. However, always keep in mind, don't overeat. I mean, its obvious when you feel full right?

 Just stop it and go sing some Christmas songs or shake it off.

 Here I sign-off from the post.

Merry Christmas!!!

Jna, why become a trainer?

Tuesday, I had my first trainer session at Core Fitness and today the second along with two new PT recruits, Konea & Li.  You must be thinking "Wait, what? CORE FITNESS?!?!"

Okay, no surprises. Next month (year), officially will become a Personal Trainer at Core.

I'm so damn excited, I don't know why. Perhaps, its the passion that kicks in.

So as to relate to the title for today, Sam (Core's Managing Director) throw a question for us to ask OURSELVES - Why become a trainer?

This is my answer: I want to train people because everyone deserves to be fit.
It has now, become my life purpose.

 Very grateful started off as a PUSH Instructor at CFF and moving on to grow more at Core to help build the fitness industry in KK.

No worries, PUSH classes will still be available at CFF during my offdays at Core, no matter how busy I will be (I will still be teaching part-time 1 subject at Pine, my current job as a lecturer, which I left full-time to go into fitness). Lecturing is awesome, I figure since at my current age I should explore more on other kinds of passion, which obviously fitness plays a major role here.

Alright PUSH class for this weekend!
2 Hours Special Series - Station Circuit 33 & HIIT it!
Sunday 2pm-4pm 



18th December 2011

Come soak in sweat, feel the burn, and get fitter! All at Cruz Fitness + Fight Studio, next to KFC Putatan.
