"Thought it was really funny that you highlighted our Leon's snowy white arms because the real Leon also had the same problem!"





Oh well. However, shudder, if you were to check out Leon's latest post, for scary halloween jam, you'd see that he now resembles Boy George, and not in his karma chameleon days, I can tell you that!!! Okay okay, I don't want our FDI to melt from sudden overexposure. Change topic.

After a month or so long hiatus, finally returned to the cyclemill, for RPM. The class was packed, and I must gotten the 2nd last bike. Someone who didn't register had to vacate his bike. Well, if there was ever any doubt whether or not RPM instructors actually turn their knobs, yesterday dispelled all doubt. In fact, I am wondering why she turned it so many rounds!!! Phwaaah. I was sitting virtually perpendicularly to the instructor, so I could see the side profile.

By track 4, I was thinking, are we on track 5? We can't POSSIBLY be still on track 4. And quite honestly, by track 7, I was in a state of day dreaming, and probably not really working out very much, except until the last 2 minutes or so. What does one say about RPM class? It was stuffy, disgustingly claustrophobic, but darn good workout. And oh the euphoria at the end of track 7. Better than ***. Almost.

Bumped into old Thursday evening combat instructor in the changing room. He was saying that the according to the choreographers, the latest combat can burn 1300 calories....wonder how that works. I was telling him I did RPM not coz I liked it, but cos it was calorie burning effective, since I once overheard a combat instructress tell a newbie that you burn 300 ++ calories during combat....which I thought was pittance. According to Eugene, (the CI I was chatting with), that's poppy cock. 300 calories if you are moving with the strength of vegetable maybe.
