Kembali ke fitrah... Yoga yuk..

I just love fasting month...
I could easily shed some weight without having too much work.
Just right before this year fasting month started, my weight wouldn't dropped below 80 kg. No matter how hard I tried to do my cardios. It's my 'stuck' weight, right at that 80 number on the scale. An instructor in my gym once said that to start losing weight again from a 'stuck' weight is to change the diet and also to change the work out schedule. I think I did both already, still no result gained.
So, When the fasting month came, I was so excited, knowing that I would eventually lost some of those impertinent fat! And i was right! Voilaa... I dropped 6 kg during the whole fasting month. The key was to keep doing the workout, just before the fasting break. I usually did some cardios an hour before the break, to burn those fat. I was also still watching the food I ate. Happy happy happy.. but the work is not over yet. My goal to reach 72 kg and replace those fat with muscle is not even half-reached yet. Still long way to go.
Oh, I also would like to share that now I have a new favorite work out. It's Yoga! hehe.. some of you must thought that Yoga is easy and even not a work out! I used to think like that. But apparently I was wrong. It started when my friend introduce a class of hot yoga to me. It's a yoga class, only the room was filled with hot air like in Sauna/Steam room. I was intrigued. So I came to join the class only to find out that it was a very hard and energy spending class. I sweat more even more than a cycling or aerobic class. I also found out that Yoga has a good impact to make our postures right. We need to strengthened our back, no arching, and also must rely on the core (abs) strength a lot. I watch some of my friend could do impossible move like head stand. I post the picture below. I will learn and I will be able to do that move! can't wait....
Til the next post Guys, Keep a healthy life will you?
