original bootcamp malaysia: 2 more sessions!
… because I stopped counting how many I’ve attended. Anyway this is the last week for August 2009 intake. Next month’s intake starts next Tuesday, and I’ve signed up for that too. I know someone who should not sign up because that person is always AWOL! 
This morning was all cardio then a couple rounds of ‘recovery jogs’ after. I still do not see how jogging after a series of exercise routines counts as recovery, but I’m not the fitness expert here. In an odd way, I suppose it helps with the muscles and stuff, but at the point in time I just wanted to go home.
This morning’s session was tough, but easier than last Saturday’s. That is saying volumes. If you’d remember, last Saturday was ‘Bring a Friend’ day for the PJ platoon. I’d asked on my blog if anyone would want to come along. Lots of enquiries but in the end, only WY and Fireangel answered the call. The latter only agreed to come after she thought I merajuked. Hah, evil plotting worked.
I thought it being ‘Bring a Friend’ day would mean easier stuff to do. You know, don’t scare off the newbies. On the contrary it was single-handedly the most difficult part of OBM for me (so far). We were divided to 2 teams, each with a huge ass and damn heavy tyre to carry and flip over. I think I ‘helped’ to carry the tyre only for 100m. We had 3 guys in our teams and they did most of the carrying work. Okay lah it wasn’t fair but you do what you can do.
The tyre-flipping part was for everyone, and that was how we got our assorted bruises.
Jida’s bruised arms and FA’s bruises thigh. Confirm black and blue one!
I took a quick glance at FA when she was flipping the tyre. It was quite funny because the tyre was almost as big as her! I would have laughed if I had the energy. I don’t think she likes me very much at the moment
More bruises on FA and WY
As for me, I think I am getting used to the pain. Heh. WY blogged about the Saturday session, you can read it here. Great work guys

I think I would not have survived to see daylight again!
I think a recovery run would make a lot more sense after a day of sitting down a lot especially at meetings… running gently seems to help loosen the limbs and boosts your energy a bit after a tiring day at the office…
my coach used to call the recovery jogging after a session ‘warming down’ – it loosens and relaxes your muscles after a hard intensive exercise session.
eiling: you get used to it one!!
suertes: haha but you know as well as i do, you cannot NOT jog at obm
eyeris: i think it makes some sort of sense. or maybe i’m too used to the pain, i hardly notice anymore
hahha poor FA
Yah slow jog is better than standing still, if you stand still you risk your muscles seizing up then you risk real damage.
At least if you are jogging you are warming down like eyeris said and letting your muscles stretch and relax naturally.
poor fa … lol … solly to laff …. poor girl
awwww…. poor FA… see.. i’m smart to choose for sleeping!!!
too bad i was in bp…
if not sure will join u…
poked FA’s shoulder after that will make her KILL u. LOL

Thanks for sharing your experience! Can one only start at the beginning of the month?
Also, do they offer any trial lessons? I tried calling the no to enquire, but unfortunately there was no reply.
Thanks Suanie!
