April 2012. That was the time I attempted to go and try the newest exercise craze in town - Planaforma. However, it was only last Saturday (8th of September, to be exact) that the plan materialized. Thanks to Maya for accompanying me on this fun ordeal!
I'll be honest, I was afraid that the practice would be too exhausting for my baby fats. Teehee! Seriously, I don't want to over-exercise my body [at once] maybe because I have too many commitments that I can't afford to miss the
When I first step into the studio, I thought I was on a hotel lounge. We were greeted by Planaforma's nice attendants at the reception hall. Having read some reviews and their site, I felt like I have an idea on what's in store for me. Or that was what I thought!
THE BEGINNERS' WORKOUT:
"Get 2 dumbbells" said Allen our instructor.
"One heavy, another light." she continued.
I asked Maya, "I can see only 4lbs. Don't they have 2lbs?"
Then we laughed secretly.
Good thing there were no 2 side by side slots available, else,
Maya and I will end up laughing at each other which is a no-no.
The rest was one sweaty, muscle wrenching, stress-releasing event.

THE WORKOUT REVIEW:
THE WORKOUT REVIEW:
☺There's a background music. Unlike Bikram yoga which
encourages deep concentration (click HERE),
Planaforma is an upbeat exercise, the music will turn you on.
☺Lots of movement variation.
You won't be bored. That's guaranteed.
☺Up an inch. Practice promotes little but intense movement.
And my baby fats are screaming ouch! Hoho!
☺Movements are difficult, but DOABLE.
That's one part I love most. It's hard fine,
but they are doable and like with most exercise, practice is a must.

| COMFORT Room. Indeed! |
THE FACILITIES REVIEW:
♣ They have towels, mats and ample amount of shower rooms.
I think that's essential. It promotes "just-in-time" exercise,
like when you have things to do afterwards, you don't have to hassle
yourself out and bring all those big exercise stuff.
♣ Exercise rooms are somehow small. Not sure but maybe
they encourage exercising in small groups.
♣ I can't seem to see the instructor for some parts
(i.e. when we're lying, and there's no mirror for me to see her).
OVERALL:
I'll be coming back for that much needed exercise.
It's fun. Far from easy. But it's a healthy regimen. So bring it on!
