Before any of you start freaking out and think "OMG!! Shan joined the army!", I didn't. Join the army that is. But I did, for support of my dear friend Sheena and also due to my WTH-might-as-well-try-it syndrome, join a one hour intense exercise bootcamp.
And boy am I feeling the burn!
The video is nothing compared to the exercises that we actually had to do that day. I'm talking about nonstop push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, squat pulses, jackknives, and a whole load of running. Not to mention a continuous flipping of a 30kg tractor wheel across the field. I'm guessing The Star probably edited out all the "good" parts so people would actually sign up. Check out this link if you really wanna see how intense the training can be: Bootcamp promotional video. Seriously, the intensity level was through the roof. I was already panting away right after warm-ups. And to think Sheena said that session was mild. Mild is a brisk walk around my apartment complex. Lifting up heavy bags of sand and running around a field with it is NOT mild.
But as the beautifully fit and oh-so-handsome trainer in the video said the bootcamp is great for those who wish to lose weight fast. And for anyone who wishes to raise their stamina level. But forget it if you're one of those people who cares about getting mud in your nails or mind being around sweaty people because throughout my hour there, I was up to my elbows in mud, grime and god knows whatever filth. It'll get in your nails, hair, face, shoes and even your underwear. Sweat? Please... horses sweat less than we did that day.
Bootcamp Malaysia Bring-a-Friend Day survivors. Woohoo!
So the all important question, would I ever I sign up for this crazy exercise bootcamp? Probably. But only when I'm desperate enough to lose weight. Like maybe a couple of months before my wedding. I'll definitely look fantastic during the wedding but will probably be too tired out to actually enjoy my "first" night. Hehe... kesian my future husband :P

So now if you'll excuse me, I need to go rub some deep-heat balm on my aching muscles. My muscles ache so good.

ibu guru,
lupa anak murid hendak beritahu, yang produksi kami telah menarik diri dari IPAC, kerana pihak atasan mahu kami merendahkan standard skrip dan pementasan kami, setelah mendapati itu semua tidak wajar, maka, kami menarik diri, dan menggantikan persembahan dengan NTW, sila datang pada 22 haribulan februari 2010, sokongan ibu guru amat diperlukan.
Kalau 22/02/10 gerenti boleh datang punye :) Nasib baik bukan hujung bulan. Kalau tidak makan hati la saya tak dapat tgk anak2 murid ku berlakon :~(
