I started it today, and I resolve to do it everyday. It hurts a lot the first few sets. A friend also recommended that I do crunches and leg raises after each set. I might follow his advice. We’ll see how effective this workout is, since I’m so out shape because I have been gorging on junk food a lot. My poor thighs.
It’s also about time that I take out my exercise mat. I haven’t used it in more than a year. See how physically unfit I am? I’ll blog again in the next few weeks to give my feedback about this workout.
On May 3rd, I went on my second trek. This was less challenging compared to the Daraitan trek last month. But it was still taxing because the trail was uphill and very very steep. It was also very slippery. But when we reached the peak and took in the view – it was breathtaking and worth the effort.
Now, each time I try to stand up from my chair, my thighs scream – and I just look at that photo to make myself feel better.
On the bright side – my trekking shoes (from Merrell) really are worth the price I paid: no blisters!
Yesterday, I went trekking and camping with a bunch of friends. The photos below show my attempt to document this trip with Instagram.
My pristine, brand new Merrell trekking sandals. I wasn’t able to get a photo of the sandals post-trek. We had to meet up at a McDonald’s in our area, so I had my last order of fries for the next 24 hours.
