Yesterday’s “my first” was easy. I didn’t even have to think about it. It just happened. While today’s “my first” got me thinking since last night. My clock alarmed at 6:45 AM. After 6 hours of sleep, my brain came up with the idea that today could be a good day to try a new work- out routine. I have been reading and checking out fitness success stories of women because of the famous Bikini Body Guide by Kayla Itsines in Instagram for quite a while now. BBG is a 12 week workout program that helps you achieve your dream body through combination of circuit trainings and cardio exercises. It’s amazing to see the beautiful body transformations of a lot of women who worked hard to complete this program. Definitely inspiring!
So I checked out Kayla’s blog and downloaded the free week of bikini body work out which is compose of circuit trainings for the legs, arms and abs. I must say it’s not for beginners. The routines were easy to follow but I found them hard to execute. Haha 🙂 And it hurts! Or maybe just because it was my first time to try them. I must say that if done properly and regularly, the routines could be really effective. It hurts but it will surely pay off. As the famous saying goes – there’s no gain without pain.
I will continue to do the circuit trainings whenever I can. Wish me luck! 😉
Oh hey, aside from trying a new work-out routine, I had an impromptu “my first” this morning. I decided to take a different way to work. I would normally take the shortcut from Dubai Marina station by passing through the parking lots of the nearby buildings to our office. Instead, I took the other way where I could see the man-made lake in the middle of Jumeirah Lake Towers and the skyscrapers in the area. It’s a nice view to see – a sight I haven’t really had the chance to appreciate until today. That’s why I walked the same path on my way home too. It took me longer and my feet hurt from walking (blame it on the high heels!) but it’s fine. The view was worth it. No pain, no gain right?
So what will be “my first” tomorrow? I’m not even done writing about this post and see how I’m already thinking about the new experience that awaits.
Goodnight from Dubai! 🙂
