i keep waking up earlier and earlier these days. maybe it's because i slept at 11pm yesterday night. guess what time my body decided to wake up on it's own ? 6:58am in the morning...

anyway, yufeng's bringing me in to fitness first @ AMK HUB as a guest in the morning. i haven't been to amk hub after it's renovated, so it's a good chance to do so. the gym provides towels, and a card that you're supposed to insert behind your locker door (if not you can't turn the key, cause i played around with it).

the equipment's pretty new, and i thought that SAF had pretty good gyms. there's a panel that tells you your rep count, and even a bar thingy that shows your range of motion when operating so you don't have to keep an eye on the weights when doing your reps. =)

there are like 8 LCD TVs too in front of a squad of treadmills, steppers... all lined up in front like a parade.. i like the abs machine, cause it allows you to actually curl your body, both legs and torso towards each other.. this helps to focus on the abdominal muscles ! the normal ones that i've used only allow the torso to bend down toward your knees...

just when i decided to hit the shower to retire, i finally found the sauna room. =)

it's pretty small, and shaped like a triangular sandwitch box with the charcoal on one side near the door. i was wearing my contacts, and worried that it might get stuck to my eyeball... so i decided to keep it to 15mins max...

i was alone at first, and the seat felt as if the skin on my face was wrinkling like a tomato in the stove.. 2 more guys then came in one at a time, and that gave a good estimate of the max number of people in the room at one time.. maybe 6 to be comfortable... better find a good time to come if you want to use the sauna in the future...

after sweating it out, nothing like a cool shower.. i was wondering how come they didn't provide the shower gel, until i found out where it was. shower gel, conditioner - all inside the shower itself ! but no facial foam, which yufeng told me to bring if i wanted to use the sauna...

gym for convenience sounds like a good idea when working next time.. what's like a good sauna after work man ! just maybe...
