  • Lesson Learned from Fitness First’s RPM Class

    I learned few things! Actually this is a Art of War from RPM Class (not the other way around! :p)
    Here they are:

    1. It’s probably the hardest thing to do in FF Gym! 🙁 so, prepare yourself well before you joint for the very first time! Lesson: know the war field, prepare yourself. Going to war without the knowledge will kill you!

    2. I then finished the session, but it is more because of ego rather than my physical strength. I certainly don’t want to go out from that cycling studio with every eyes on me :p. Lesson: your own ego will bring you to another level. If you go to war, pump your ego, be arrogant even to yourself there you’ll find something beyond your known strength!

    3. I got the emotional spirit from the instructor. He kept screaming: “you want to lose fat! you want to lose fat” :p and “come on! You told me to bring it on! Now I bring it on! I see you on the top!” Haha. Fun! Lesson: you need someone to energize you in a war. Find a friend, find a spiritual figure, find a motivator.

    4. If the cycling studio is only 3 person, it will give you less sensation of team achievement. We all know achieving something together is far better! Lesson: in a war, prepare a row of troops on your side, see they win, show them you can win too, fight together win together, celebrate together!

    5. I keep a bowl of ramen in my imagination. I told my self, if I finish this session, the bowl of ramen is mathematically less calories than what I’ve spent in this session. It kept me going! Lesson: ramen is nice!

    That’s 5 lessons I’ve learned in my FitnessFirst’s RPM Class! Cheers! :p

  • A Chance from Idol Show

    I am not a big fans of American Idol, (any idols show incl Indonesian Idol are never as good as the American). I don’t really think all the stars (idols winners) are finally a super soloist. Except Kelly Clarkson, none are my favorite. But, I always enjoy watching the earlier part of a season, I think what interest me the most is about the show giving everybody a chance. As long as you want to, you can have a chance. Regardless you go through the next round or simply a fool on TV. Don’t you guys agree that is exactly what everybody needs? A Chance.
