Aerobics - Extreme Exercise?

Aerobics is for everyone, regardless of age. Some of us would think that exercise is only for those who loves an extreme sports. Well, this is wrong.

I have been going for aerobics for almost 2 years now. The place that I went is quite nice. I can say that the instructor is good and the exercise is not very extreme. I guess she considers that not only youngster joining but also middle ages ladies.

For those who are interested, can always drop by at the centre every Tue and Thur, 6pm - 7pm.

While waiting for the class to start, I snap a video of our instructor demonstrating steps aerobics. Enjoy!

Maha Yoga, Jalan Song

Finally, Maha yoga had opened another branch, which is nearer to my work place. They have another branch somewhere at Sekama area.

I didn't go to their opening but starts to join their yoga class with SK. It's quite a nice exercise where there's something different with the practising here. Although the movement is quite slow, we can sweat too.

Last week, we attend the Friday class, teached by Yikru. There's only me and SK that day. Well, it's fun to practice yoga in a small group of people. The teacher asked what we want to do on that day. SK say to reduce tummy fat. Hahaha... girls will definitely opt for this one. Well, after the yoga lesson, I really can feel my tummy is smaller.

Anyway, here's some details for those who wants to go. There are 3 teacher: Valerie, Yikru and Alvin. I believe any of them is equally good. You can drop by at the centre on weekday at

5.45pm for a lesson or 7.15pm for the night lesson.
