Workout Of The Day - 14thJune 2009
Did swim sprints/intervals for around 45 minutes - thrashed the water as hard as I could from one end to other, paused for a quick breather, and thrashed back. Repeat as long as your heart and quads burn.
Just like running versus sprints/intervals - you can mimic the same methodology in the pool to work on your MetCon and your 2 other metabolic pathways.
Had a post workout snack consisting of 2 chicken wings and a thick milkshake - that's the best you can get in the mall I suppose, without blowing a hole in your pocket.
My 5kg plates don't fit in my old waterbag - I'm hoping to get hold onto the Army's Section Commander's bag (filled with a 5kg plate) to simulate a weighted vest for my chinups, parallel bar dips.
And I've currently bumped up my oatmeal with peanut butter, bananas, oranges, and raisins! Hoping to find some walnuts someday.
Cross Fit Burpees - SAF has mixed up burpees with squat thrusts. Burpees is horrendously tiring!
Starting Strength - Many women are afraid that if they put down the pink dumbbells and so much as touch a barbell that they will turn into hulking she-males. These same women might also assume that women train one way and men another.

oh walnuts.. I love them! can get them from Hock Hua shops (the chinese medicinal branch shops) at about $18 per kg (quite EX!!).
Toast them lightly and they are so crunchy and delicious!
I also bought 2 packs of new crunchy rolled oats from NTUC at $4.99 a pack. These are the springy taste oats that are also in muesli mixes! very nice
When u do High Intensity... do you think u develop more toned muscles compared to less intensity stamina based running or swimming?
Las Montanas:
Ya, walnuts are costly - abit prohibitive isn't it? But definitely worth it.
Yup NTUC oats is cheap. Good healthy food at a cheap price. If only this applied to protein sources (like beef!)
And yup, high intensity definitely (I think) helps you get more muscle . And this is evident in Cross Fitters.. just take a look at any one. Huge, muscular, and very very fit.
