I know within myself that I am physically active type of person, which is why I like going on adventures and being sweaty, as it pertains to being healthy. Who doesn't want to be healthy these days? Anyway, I've been searching online for a good sport. I was considering taking up a few Muay Thai sessions at Contender Gym, Pasig City as it was one ride away from home. But I didn't have the guts to try it as I have never tried going to a gym before and whenever I plan to push through, it's either I am already tired from work or I have appointments to attend to. So I search for others, even in Metrodeal or any deals online shop so it would be cheap for a trial. I ended up wanting to try Brikram Yoga and Crossfit Manila. After days of contemplating if I would go get it, I failed myself as I rejected the deals and continue with my life as a skinny fat person. I have skinny thighs, legs, and arms; but also a fatty belly and back fats. (UGH!) I've tried to lose some pounds by changing diet plans, but it never worked. So A few days ago, I received an email blast in my work email. In the note, it says that we, the employees, are entitled to have a 3-day free trial at Crossfit Manila, Eastwood City, and discounted monthly membership fee! My team mates and I tried it and here's our experience in getting fit!
On the first day, we had coach Jericho to work with us and our WOD (Workout Of the Day) is called Warrior Workout. Crossfit literally stood by its name. There's no specific work out for you, it's time pressured and you'll get fit by the speed and agility you'll adapt to complete the session. Coach Jericho first gave us the instructions on the proper ways in doing per workout pose. In this session, we had regular jabs, front kicks, thrustees with medicine ball, and sit ups with medicine ball. I call it Fantastic Four. For 30 mins total work out time, I was able to sweat a lot, compared to my regular exercise which usually takes an hour. I felt more motivated and excited to come back on the next day!
