Somehow travelling is the no. 1 culprit for disrupting my gym routine.. i tend to not train at all while travelling, then things r a mess once i get back 😵‍💫 Here’s what helped me to stay motivated on a short trip: 1. Book a hotel with good gym facilities - check the photos & reviews in ad

Recently got myself a pair of on cloud monster! I needed a pair of shoes that 1) provide good support for my heels / legs 2) can withstand 20k steps per day as I’m going to Japan soon 👣 Did my research for some of the supportive shoes out there and narrowed my choices down to New Balance, Ho

A positive thing that came out of my hips / back condition is that I’m doing more upper body strength training these days ~ and i’ve FINALLY been able to progressive overload. Tbh it sounds easy but I’ve just not been able to prior to this period 🫠 some days i feel ‘off’, on my period i can’t l

Today i customsied a spin class for myself.. using chatgpt + spin bike + EDM / house mix on spotify hehe. Wanted to do cardio on the spin bike, but found it hard to get into the rhythm without any guidance. So i got chatgpt to recommend me a workout set on the bike for 40 mins. Overall exer

Got back my recent MRI results & thankfully it’s much better than expected! Did 2 MRIs in total for my back (lumbar) & hips. Back issue: - Mild disc bulge + mild disc degeneration - This causes narrowing of the nerve ‘passage’ > which is why my nerve feels so irritated, esp at p

Love to do a nice upper body workout when i just return from a trip - gives my legs a break after all the walking + eases me back into the routine! Didn’t get to exercise much the past 2 weeks due to COVID + travelling.. so starting off very friendly ➡️ Lat pulldown - 25kg x 12 x 3 sets -

First work out after coming back from a short trip! I don’t work out when travelling so that i can maximise 🧊chilling🧊 - so i start with manageable workouts when im back! Resting my legs so this is mainly upper body! + 1 lower only Lat pulldown - Did the closer grip this time! Feel like th

Tried supinated grip while doing cable rows for the first time! Couldn’t find the usual neutral grip bar hahah.. It definitely felt different from what I’m used to, like my elbows couldn’t extend as far back as i wanted. So i searched it up a bit: Supinated grip ➡️ more biceps involvem

Wanted to squeeze in a quick workout before my short trip to KL 😋✈️ The objective is to get a good workout in but with reduced intensity, so I’m not too sore during my trip! Leg extension - 18 kg x 12 reps x 3 sets - Went with a lower weight and did the exercises reallyyyy slowly. Wanted a
