Day 1 of BOOTCAMP.. Hooya!

The night before, i got so excited and couldn't sleep. As a result, i managed to sleep for only an hour and took off for the training which starts at 5.45am.

By 5.25am, i reached Padang Astaka, PJ and the instructors are already there setting up the training ground by placing cones ard the field. The sky was stil dark, sun was stil sleeping but my body and legs were itchy already, can't wait to get a taste of the BOOTCAMP training. Fred, Shane and I collected our BOOTCAMP shirts, get changed and started our warm up under the guidance of 7 instructors. The most interesting instructor is of course, the main instructor who is ranked as Sarjan. Why is he so interesting? Have a look at the pic below:

(pics taken from fb)

Yes, with his moustache and beard and well built physique, instantly i thought of Gerard Butler from 300 as i think they really look alike. He made us feel that the training today will be as tough as hell!

For warm up, what we did was jogging, side steps, forward lunges, reverse lunges and some stretches. After warm up, we were separated into 2 big groups and get to know 1 partner each. My partner was Tim, a 6-foot tall mat salleh who has joined this program since June.

Today is the 1st training of the month, and for every 1st training, assessment will be done. The assessment?
* 400m run
* 10 push ups
* 10 grunges (may spelled wrongly)
* 15 sit ups

Seems ok rite? But the abv is only considered as 1 set, we have to do 3sets continuously within 15minutes.

For new recruits like us, we were given the chance to do 1st. Ready, get set and off we go! Running was easy for me, i ran the 1st 400m with ease, and the 1st set was well done. 2nd set i started to slow down, and for the 3rd set, i have to walk a lil. Ish. I managed to finish 1st among the new new recruits, my time was 12minutes flat.

Next up are seniors like Tim. He ran the 1st 400m with great speed. He did all the push ups, sit ups in just a sec. He was dam fast. I thought he would slow down in 2nd or 3rd set but he did not. He just did the 3 sets continuously without slacking and same as the other seniors. Incredible! He finished 1st in 7+minutes. Super super fast. But what suprised me the most is that the person who came last in the seniors assessment was actually faster than me! This shows how unfit we are (the new recruits).

After the 3sets assessments, we have to run 1 mile as the last assessment. The 1st to finish is of course, Tim the mat salleh in 7+min. Meanwhile i finished in 9+min.

After all the assessments, i guess most of us were quite tired, especially the new recruits. We ended our training by warming down and a shout of HOOYA! Reminisce me of the chant from 300.

The training also reminds me of my primary skool days where i used to wake up early in the morning and train with my coach and running mates. It is challenging and I LIKE IT!

Superman by Five For Fighting

1 of my favourite songs of all time:

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me

I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
'Bout a home I'll never see

It might sound absurd
But don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won't you conceive
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me

Up, up, and away, away from me
But it's alright
You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy or anything

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
Yeah, inside of me
Inside of me

I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
I'm only a man looking for a dream
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet
And it's not easy
Oooo oooo oooo

It's not easy
To be
Me

Bootcamp Malaysia

Hello there! Came across this and i want to share with all of u..

It's called ORIGINALBOOTCAMP's CORPSTRAINING. Sounds serious rite? Ya it's serious stuff.

According to its website, it started from 1991, Australia and went on to revolutionize the fitness world! NOW, it's in Malaysia.

"A military inspired, outdoor group personal training program that utilises discipline based motivational techniques, Corps Training has been scientifically designed to achieve serious results, seriously fast, no matter what their current fitness level."

Taken from http://www.bootcamp.com.my/about.php

Terror rite!? It sounds challenging and i like it!

Its basic form consists of 3 sessions per week, 60 minutes per session, for 4 weeks. The program is suitable for all type of fitness levels.

"The program begins with a Benchmark Workout which allows the instructors to not only judge your current strengths and weaknesses, but to place you into sections with other recruits of an equivalent fitness level to yourself."

(kinda lazy to type, so just copy, paste and edit)

"As the program progresses, each session increases in intensity, in order to ensure that you are constantly improving. Be aware, CORPSTRAINING is definitely no walk in the park, but we guarantee that it achieve serious results, seriously fast. "

"As part of our dedication to providing all of our recruits an inspiring and entertaining way to train, our providers are committed to ensuring that no matter how long, or how often you train with us, you will never repeat the same session twice."

"Whether you are an elite athlete, or a soon to be ex-couch potato, this program has been scientifically design to achieve maximum results, in the minimum amount of time."

There are 2 locations and several time slots available but the one I chose:

• LOCATION: PJ Padang Astaka (opposite Amcorp Mall)
• TIME : 5.45am-6.45am
• DAYS : Tues, Thurs, Sat

I jus hand in my form on9. The price? RM299 include 1 shirt. I hvn pay thou. Haha. If everything goes as planned, I shall start on 1st of Dec..

It may be a bit pricey but i think it's worth a try. Good for health, fitness, discipline (hv 2 wake up very early!) and gain some muscles! Haha.. Btw, i gained ard 4 kilos d.. Hurray! Current weight is 70kg..
