December Jolly PUSH: 5 Tips to get and stay in shape!

 December is approaching and we're just a month away from 2012.
Is getting 6 pack one of them? ;)
 So, what do you want for this Christmas or wish to accomplish before 2011 ends?
Don't just conclude "2011 SUCKS" yet coz shit happes and just because its near to the end but doesn't mean its over. Appreciate it and strive for happiness and goals!
Its still possible to get into the fitness vibe. So now I have a captain obvious few simple tips for you to stay in shape throughout this jolly and happy season.

Tip 1: Get a shovel and start digging out the snow. Heh, Just kidding! Lulz. Get enough SLEEP.
Yes, you heard that! Not only it gives your body rest but it is also essential to good health and weight loss. When you sleep, your body produces a hormone call leptin, which plays an important role in energy intake and use of it, thus, relate to fat metabolism. If you don’t get adequate sleep, the amount of leptin produced may not be enough to control the appetite effectively. Lack of sleep can also cause the production ghrelin, a hormone that can increase appetite and may cause overeating. You don't want this to spoil your plan in keeping that smexy body.
Random cute white girl model found on teh internut: "I can has shovel snow as ma workou- Mother of Gawd...Jna... YUNO snow in KK?!"
Me:"STFU and squat!"


Tip 2: Interval Trainings. BOOYAH! Come join PUSH class aight!
Been there, done that. One of the most effective fat burning workout is using interval training, especially when the exercises incorporate with plyometrics and explosive body-weight movements. Let me introduce one of the most basic example of interval training call the Tabata training. It's only 4minutes, you just need to set 8 rounds, each round 20seconds of interval with a full intensity workout then 10seconds rest then follow by another 20seconds intense workout, then 10seconds rest and so on.. The exercises? You can just jump rope, jumping jacks, mt.climbers, push-up, squats, sprint etc. You can make it as variant as possible! Seriously, come join PUSH class, you can hear your fats crying, literally.
Lean Santas doing some jumping jacks shatz, what are YOU doing?
Tip 3: Weight-training. Dumbbells, Kettle-bells, Jingle-bells, just-grab-something-with-weights.
B*tch, please. I just gotta tell all the ladies, girls, women, DO NOT BE AFRAID OF WEIGHTS. You can be afraid of me typing with CAPS but I swear weights is your best friend for shedding those pounds, sculpting you a sexy slim body. Grab some water bottles, shove books in your backpack and wear them while training, take your food cans, use them as weights and start! Start with light-weight, then work your way up to heavier weights. Let me tell you, heavy weight trainings the best to get lean and mean. Not bulky, you have no testosterone no matter how many times you watch The Expandables or Chuck Norris' movies.
What it says.
Tip 4: DOWN WITH A HYDRANT OMG I'M SO THIRSTY. Yes, Drink your water.
Your body, is made out of 75% water, include those in your muskels (muscles). After all the sweaty trainings, or even having your rest day (tell me, you urinate, right? right?), rehydrate yourself. Tea, coffee, juice, soda and all that sugary shatz doesn't count (exceptional to those serve as post-workout energy drinks). You gotta drink your pure water, be it reverse osmosis or purified or mineral, down that water, LIKE A BOSS.
*Gulp gulp gulp gulp* This is one intense workout too!
Tip 5: Eggs, meat, bean, whey, soy, casein,........ EAT MORE PROTEIN LAH!
AMINO ACIDS POWAHHHH!!! Not just building and repair muscles-bones-blood-body organs, but it also speeds up metabolism! Whether you're taking it from food or direct supplement, make sure you get just enough protein (not too much, otherwise got wasted. You know, the "meanwhile... in Africa..." thing). Also, it makes you fuller! Try adding more protein and cut back on carbs (carbohydrate) if you really wanna shed off those pounds of fats and get stronger at the same time.
Protein goodness

There are my simple 5 tips for you. If you're already doing it, good job, REPEAT!

Weather ain't stopping us training

Last Saturday, there was rain and flood in the evening.
Courtesy from The Star.
But that didn't stop P.U.S.H-ers and Alpha Wolf gang to workout.

I only can testify this by writing, as the rain and wind were too strong for us to take any pictures during our WON'T BACK DOWN bootcamp workout of the day. Although some of the workouts cut-short, but you will be amazed that they still continue with the workout while rain arrow piercing through the skin.

Julian's first time joining the bootcamp and this is this his comment.

Too bad my foot hurt that time it stop me from the workout, but still got soaked in the rain and it added more pain to my feet. But it was just temporal, I'm glad I made it there to just witness this bootcamp.

Mom said I could have just gone home earlier (no electricity at my housing area anyways) to avoid all the flood.
But no,
I waited,
stand with the packs,
won't back down,
shivering in the car.


Highlights of AFTER the workout:
Kevin's car got stuck in mud, extra workout for the guys to pull it out.
Some people got stuck in flood and have to wait for the rain to stop and water drain out abit to drive back home.
Faye, CRUZ Fitness owner, wheels came off while on her way home and can't help but to wait in her car shivering cold.
Me, stuck in some flood area but not for long, got home, no electricity, shower cold water like BAWS (boss) and have romantic candle light dinner.

Despite all, we've shown that it is absolutely worth to attend this day's bootcamp instead of regretting.

Hope our wolf pack attitude inspires you to live a much fuller life!
