VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

The body changes. I lost about 1.3kg of fat.
I checked at the end of August.

I need a trainer to push me.
Else I will be lazy and I wouldn’t go to the gym

He teaches me some moves and he will tell me what we do for the day. / he gives me the training plan for the day.
For example today we trained shoulders or back

and next we train the belly/abs and on the third day we train the legs.

He shows me the moves.

I will tell him that is to heavy and he will change our plan and lighten/lessen/decrease the weight
I will tell him which part of my body I want to train/focus on.

After that I do some aerobics.

I went to the gym for the first time 8 years ago … I can’t remember the time.

In the Chinese new year holiday , only 7 days and I get big . -> I put on a lot of weight during the CNY holiday and I wanted to fix that.

At that time I added/put on about 10kg in a week so after the holiday ended I had to go work -> I had to work out

Maybe my body is easy to get big. / My body easily puts on/gains weight
Before the holiday I weighted 50kg and after a week I was at 60kg
at that time I lost my weight in a short time.
I went to gym everyday.

For me at that time you are so fat so you haven’t boy who want to chat you.-> at that time I was worried boys wouldn’t find me attractive  / I was worried about dating.

I was at the gym about 3h a day.
and in the week end 3/4h

I haven’t been to the gym after that.

half half. half of them like it and half don’t like any sports.

My colleague, a girl. every morning she rides a bike to the office. -> there is one of my colleagues, a girl, she likes to ride a bike to the office every morning.

From her home to the office 10km. / it is 10km from her home to the office
She spends 40m riding a bike every morning  / it takes her 40m to ride to the office

Every evening she spends 40min to go home.

If it rains she takes the bus. / she doesn’t ride

Every noon she goes to the gym.
They have group classes like dance class, yoga class…

Last week there was a typhoon and she went to a park to attend an oar surfing class.

I went to the gym 3 times a week for a month, but I still put on 1kg. The good news is I lost fat about 1.3kg and added 0.7 kg of muscle in this month.
When the lockdown ends, there were many clothes I can’t wear anymore. I try to diet to control my weight, but I am bad at this way. Then I become a member of the gym, I think that I will be lose weight. A few months later, I found that I had to exercise by myself! I have no idea how to train my body. The most important point is if no one urges me, I will be lazy. I bought the course of personal trainer. To avoid waste of money, I can’t miss any class. My trainer will tell me about the target before we start the training plan for the day. I really hate running but aerobic exercises can burn my fat, if I want to lose the weight in short time, I need to do more exercises. I have to walk on the treadmill about 20min after my exercises ends. I hope to get a good result in the end of this month.
