I had never been fitter in my life

Yep, since about 2.5 yrs ago, I started with personal training. I invested about S$13,000 and signed up more than 180 sessions. In retrospect, it was a mistake to sign so many sessions at one go. Trainers come and go and each new trainer kept wanting to sell me more sessions. Well, lesson learnt. I would keep it to 36 sessions or less in future.

However, after 2 yrs, I had come to a point where I decided I should train on my own. I did learn some training routines over the past two yrs and one particular trainer had been effective in helping me to lose weight and modify my diet. In the end, cost was the factor. I simply can't sustain the cost of personal training.

I did have the good blessing to meet a training kaki though. He's 55 yrs old but very fit. We hit it off well and he gave me tips on training. I learnt a lot from him. Using his training methods for the past 6 months, I finally made a breakthrough today. I did my first diamond push-ups. I managed 3 sets of 15 for a total of 45! Wow, I was totally amazed. Just two weeks ago, I could barely manage a proper diamond push-up. Definitely more motivated to continue training.
