Fitness First

My cousin called me about 11:00 a.m., she was asking me to Fitness First to have some gyms because her friend, Yen Fong (if I'm not mistaken) had some free vouchers. Initially I was reluctant to go as I wanted to finish my novel but she called me twice, then I finally agreed. 


My first impression on the Fitness First at Cheras LeisureMall was not good as the centre looked small. Even though it was better and bigger than the TARc ones, but it still looked small to me as a professional fitness centre. 


I started by taking some free loads (weights). Thereafter, I went to have a sit-up. I met my cousin and her friend at the running machine. I wanted to train my stamina so I began to run for 10 minutes, my fastest speed was 10 km/hr. It was okay to me and in fact, I could run faster. I used to run very fast because I played as a forward or winger in football field. Speed was not a problem to me. See here, I use past tense. Meaning that I'm damned slow now and my stamina's even worse! 


Then I started my training with the rowing machines. From what the personal coach explained, rowing machine was meant to train cardiovascular. Yes, it did but to me, it was more towards training my arms' muscles. This was my first time to finish 5000 metres of workout. It took me roughly 20 minutes to finish the workout. 


There were classes for yoga, martial arts, cycling and etc. After my exercise, I went for sauna but the sauna was not what was shown on television. It was just a hot room, no steam at all. Beside the sauna room was a steam bath room. I stayed there for quite a long time, about 20 minutes. It was not as hot as I expected and I sweated. I believed that that was not my sweat but the steam. In scientific term, it shouldn't be called steam, as a steam is a water vapour at boiling point. It was just about 40-50 degree celcius. 


Then I went to have my bath, hair shampoo and body shampoo were supplied. After that, I had a cup of coffee at the pantry. I had some 100 plus during my exercise. Then it was the end of my experience in Fitness First. In short, it's quite an enjoyable place to go if you go with friends. Indeed, you can do all the exercises at home by yourself but the apparatuses there will make exercise more entertaining.
