Brought Ninie along to try it out
Here’s a video of us doing our final set of pull ups. Jonathan, one of the founders and trainers of Pushmore, shot this for us. Thanks man!
June 7 - Attended 2 yoga classes in the morning taught by Ninie at YogaZone. The first one was Hot Yoga and the second was Hatha Yoga. I am sooooo not flexible :pJune 8 - Though it was drizzling, managed to drag my ass off my bed early in the morning to go jogging at TTDI Park. Jogged 2 rounds of the upper trail - approximately 3.6km.
Immediately after, went for the Outdoor Kettlebell Session organised by KDTA & Pushmore (also at the park). It was a synchronized kettlebell workout which included the following;
- 300 swings (25 x L/R, 10 sling shots)
- Press, Jerks, Racked Squats (5 x L/R - 3 sets)
- Bottoms up Clean (5 x L/R - 2 sets)
- H2H swings x 50
Here’s a shot which I nicked from their blog :p

AND THEN (yes, I try to do as much as possible when I don’t have any shoots during the weekends :p), I went climbing at Camp 5 where I top roped most of the time and only lead 2 routes. Hehe…lazy la :p
I was absolutely knackered by the end of the day but absolutely thrilled that I managed to squeeze it all in one day. Tsktsktsk. Kiasu.com.
June 9 - Workout of the day at Pushmore: in 20 minutes do as many rounds as possible of the following;
5 pull ups, 10 burpees and 15 sit ups. Managed to do 8 reps only. Arrghghgh. Was perspiring like a pig by the 6th rep.
Thereafter, I headed over to the TTDI Park for a light jog. Did 1 round of the upper trail and 1 of the lower trail. Approx 2.8km.
Frankly speaking, my so-called-jog today was a mixture of walking and jogging. Wasn’t feeling too strong for the jog, I think it was due to the burpees that I did for the WOD. Grr…
