Pump Event of The Month

Was gonna say event of the Year, but better give face to the other pump divas out there.

Anyway, sms-es were hotly distributed that FSI and Kenny (surname what ah?) will be team teaching their debut pump class in MML. The atmosphere was electrifying, like waiting for the limousine to show up and the stars to walk down the red carpet. Okay, a bit of an exaggeration, but nevertheless, it did warrant yhsmom breaking routine and making a special appearance, and sunshine too, despite the rain, and of course, regulars Lionheart and Mrs Lionheart with rinkside seats, in what was to be known as the Dreamgirls Pump.



Kenny started by announcing that they are 2nd time virgins.....is that possible? I thought it was an irreversible process. What he meant was it was their 2nd time teachign since they cleared pump last week. I think FSI made is maiden debut in SPK Monday night. FGXC asked me to go, but much as I am very fond of FSI, traipsing through the mad KL jam for a pump class, hmmm, a bit too much of a sacrifice.

So, tracks 1-6 were taught by Kenny. Vodoo child for squats, was wondering if FSI would whip out the step board and switch les mills programs. Can go both ways then. Vodoo child, in all the les mills programs, seem to be killers, except, according to Lionheart, in RPM. Kenny instructed us, "Nipples face forward". Hmm, as opposed to? I guess they shouldn't point perkily upward, or sag downward. By the way, Lionheart's squats weight was almost equal to the two divas' added together. Looking at him already I felt my knees buckling.

The next fascinating remark was his demonstration of the clean and press. "Imagine you are lifting off your shirt".... and followed by, "let's go boys....(after a slight pause, and cat calls, he adds) ...and girls".

Then came FSI, launching off the biceps track, with one of the most superfluous remarks. "now, for the bicep track, you either decrease your tricep weight, keep it the same, ...or increase it...at your own pace". A gallant attempt at 5kg on each side, at the end of which, Lionheart was heard to have muttered, easy track la.

Squats and shoulders were okay, FSI could have been pretending to be in pain, I'm not sure. Mumbled something about it being his last pump class....

Anyway, it was a most enjoyable class. Almost like a family reunion. Saw FCI as well, outside, briefly chatted...I kinda missed FDI, since all the other FIs were around. Also, I haven't seen FDI for nearly a month already!!! How quickly time flies. As I had to rush off, someone asked me how come I wasn't going for FCI's combat and he replied loudly, "oh coz YOUKH not teaching the class". Roll eyes.
