I Finally Did It!

I thought Monday would be a busy day and I was right. I just didn't expect Tuesday and Wednesday to be busy as well. With cases to juggle, a brother's friend, in pain to treat and a new assistant , it has been a challenging 3 days. Nevertheless, I finally did it....I can proudly proclaim now, that I've done ALL the Les Mills programmes, at least once.

Lets see, BP, BC, BS, BB (yep, in Sweat Club), BJ ( oh yes, and I have Faz to testify to this), BA ( I did, REALLY, TWICE!), RPM and finally RPM CHALLENGE. BH and I decided to go for RPM on Tuesday, so we went to Axis, him very,very excited and me...well....

We got there and only realised it was a challenge class when we saw the registration board. Shucks...I wanted soooo badly to take the easy way out and go for Crystal's Combat instead, but since it was still 32, and BH was all gung ho about Challenge, I decided, die, die lor...worse come to worse, just have BH carry me out. Hehehehe.

It was Lynn's class. Nice kid that one, very friendly, checks on the members before class. Pity she's so petite, I couldn't see her at all. There was a rather large regular seated in front of me. Good thing Lynn has this lovely loud voice. Most of the time, the only thing keeping me from giving up was her voice, pushing me on. Seriously, I still can't get that bloddy wheel to turn fast enough. I mean, my resistance isn't turned up that much ( mine clicks once, everyone elses clicks a few times!). But that darn wheel, just won't budge.

And there I thought I have strong legs...jeeez. It's not the breathlessness that gets me, its the pain. Am I supposed to feel pain in my knees? What am I doing wrong? Can someone please explain....Shades? Lion? Anyone?

The class made me sweat buckets..I mean real buckets, my top totally drenched. Even BH said I sweat. ( Apparently I don't seem to in BS, so he says). But I also realised that my current absolute dreaded words and phrases in the English vocabulary are "Dial up, Turn, Take it" and "Hill climb".

But I must say, though you'd probably never see me on a bike on a road somewhere ( I can't imagine spending a few grand on two wheels anyway), you might see me in RPM and Challenge yet. The adrenaline rush and feeling of accomplishment at the end is addictive enough. I mean, I come out going "I survived, oh, what did you do?Combat? Pffft.....I survived RPM Challenge!"
