I work hard. I play hard. I work hard some more.
Why? So that I can have more moolah to play even harder lah! 
.
Now before you turn on your disapproving mode and go ‘tsk tsk tsk’ in your mind, hear (or rather, read) me out.
.
Everybody plays. Deny it all you want but I know it’s true. It’s the way one plays that differs. Someone I know considers spending time and money on gardening stuff as playing. Some consider travelling as their way of turning on their play button. I have several play buttons of my own and one of it is getting my adrenaline fix at the gym.
.
The thing is, I find the regular stuff folks do at the gym B-O-R-I-N-G. Running on treadmills, walk on the stepper, lifting free weights. The max I can last on those is 30 mins. Then, I lose interest. So the only thing that keeps me going back to the gym is …. the cardio classes! Yup. Thanks to Les Mills. I never have to worry about being bored while getting my adrenaline fix at the gym.

My # 1 favourite cardio workout atm : BODYCOMBAT # 37

If you are a cardio fan like us and have not tried out the latest BODYCOMBAT (BC) release, you are sooooo missing out on the *real* thing! Honestly. Go go go go check it out, ok? Even if your regular session at the gym is just the treadmill and machines, at least try it out ONCE. I promise you an experience of a lifetime. Reeeeally wan. *cross my heart & hope to die!*

My favourite tracks in the entire session -
Track # 4 : We Will Survive (Warp Brothers) &
Track # 6 : Stamp (Jeremy Healy & Amos)
.
Why? Because they are the toughest! Lots of kicks, squats, lunges…..and man, I love the ESQUIVA. It’s Portugese for “ESCAPE” which is a Capoeira defending technique. The ESQUIVA move is choreographed into track # 6. Every time I do it, my legs felt like they were gonna drop off but each session always, always, ALWAYS left me yearning for more! Really.
.
The total number of kicks for this release : 276!
That’s DUA RATUS TUJUH PULUH ENAM. NOH PAK CHEET CHAP LAK. LIANG BAI QI SHI LIU.
