Hello

Dear all CXWORX fans,

It's been a while since I wrote anything.. Well, CXWORX 5 is amazing.. I loved the chorey from track 1 through 6... in fact in tuition, I was assigned tracks 4, 5  and 6 and if not for timing (I am still getting used to CXWORX timing which sometimes, the music doesn't tell you anything! Need to count... unlike BODYCOMBAT), I would have done it so well...

I'm still lobbying for a class in True Fitness in CXWORX, and I will make sure I get it this quarter.. before the next quarter begins..

Yeah..

Cos it's coresome.. thats it :)

CXWORX 5 - Workshop

CXWORX 5 was easier than release 4, I felt.. maybe because we were trained in 4 and had to do countless times again and again - till our elbows and knee peel skin.. Training was tough.. but nobody said getting 6 or 8 pecs is easy.. CXWORX5 I complete all without much pain.. Still no class to teach but doesn't really matter at this point of time..

Well - at least Judy King now knew that I am trained for CXWORX! Maybe when I visit her in Vietnam one day, she can let me team-teach with her, since I can't do much in Malaysia for now..

Oh, Gorgeous Fitness taking over WOW Fitness.. that's a great news to the future.. hopefully they'll retain/increase my classses!!

Goodnite folks!

CXWORX 5 - Sizzler

Your favourite core workout has evolved: new name, new moves, stronger core. CXWORX™ really 'works', delivering the full package of core training to help you get great results. We’ve included the optional use of plates in some moves in this release – a first for CXWORX™. If you’re up for it, grab a 2.5 or 5 kg plate which will help increase the intensity of the moves and help you build strength faster.

Make sure you Gimmie Dat effort in Track 4 as you watch out for some surprises in an awesome new Standing Strength sequence. Exactly what’s involved, you’ll have to wait and see! It’s time to get ready for a debut move: the Walking Plank. This move is a challenging one but it’s worth mastering as it really works your front and back muscular slings.Stick with it, using the options when you need to, and you’ll be on your way toward a much healthier posture and a much stronger core. They’re not all new moves in this release, though. We’ve thrown in some favorites that you know and love. The Woodchop and Power Skater are back in Bonus Track 3, so you’ll have the option to mix things up and keep the challenge coming.

Bonus Track 5 is circuit-inspired, offering you three final blocks of exercise that give you the opportunity to really push yourself. Do it! This is how you build endurance in the muscles (and get that six-pack). We’ll end your half-hour with a few more Core Strength moves. Your muscles will have reached fatigue and your abs will be saying O.M.G. – but that’s the name of this game!

So what now?

So training is over...

True Fitness Malaysia will become the first gym in Asia Pacific to start CXWORX in their gyms.. Unfortunately, I am not in the instructors panel to teach this in TF..

My bet is for Fitness First to take it.. Saying it is easier than done, it will be a while before can finally get it in other gyms.. So meantime, it's just training and retraining ownself at home :)

Cheers!

Training finally DONE!!

Training finally done! Checked!

CXWORX in arms.. now is to wait for the first gym to officially carry it.. True Fitness.. first in Malaysia, and also Asia Pacific if I am not mistaken..

The training was hell.. in comparison to Bodycombat, it was 10 times worst.. bruises on the knees and elbows are tiny bits of what you have to endure..

Even though the class format is just 30 minutes, but the drills are not.. we were challenged to 3 minutes each move.. Hold it right there.. whoever drops, push-up..

It was tough.. really really tough..

BUT - CXWORX brings out the best in you... Longing for 6 pecs/8 pecs? Here's the answer.. JOIN A CXWORX class today, and use what your momma gave you!!!

After 2 rigorous days of training, my abs were so tight that you'll be sorry if you punch me :P but my knees and elbows were bruised to the max.. skin peels off... obliques sore to the max.. cannot rotate torso.. back yesterday was terrible but today much better already...

And after completing my track, I almost broke down because I forgotten a sequence.. KNNCCB!!! It had to happen during assessment!!! But I believe the trainer was fair in his grading by not basing the training result just on one assessment.. we had about 24 hours of contact and 2 assessments..

AND CXWORX is in my pocket now :)


Hugs.. I need a good night sleep.......

.

yay... this is it!

so here's the weekend and CXWORX module training is on!!

packing my stuffs now.. shit forgot to buy bananas!!!



.

It's the final day!

Wow.. finally the countdown counts to the last day...

Training is on Saturday & Sunday.. I remembered the last program I took was Bodycombat, training was over 3 days, man.. all in all think about 10 hours of full Bodycombat class excluding the drills and challenge..

Which mentally prepares me for this weekend.. My abs and back is going to scream like mad.. imagine 20 hours worth of CX class.. goodness (cos it's only a half hour program)..

Well, one thing I can say, sometimes, extraordinary people doing extraordinary things!
(quoted from BC45, if I remember correctly)




.

4 more days!

Counting down to the final week before training.. it's this weekend!!

Can't wait for it.. can't wait to be tortured :) for a good cause hehehe...

2 weeks to go!

2 weeks to go!

Am so super duper excited!

Yay!!

Ticket to great core and abs

I received the ticket for the upcoming LesMills CXWORX module training.. Yay!..

What surprised me is the fee structure.. I know it's gonna cost me AUD$349 but I didn't know the actual cost is actually only AUD$299.. the balance AUD$50 is for certification.

Which means, certification during training is possible.. I shot the question to LesMills education department and they only told me there wasn't any definite decision.. I guessed they made a decision already, at least as far as pioneer batch is concerned..

According to LesMills, there can be only three ways to certification:
1. Submit video of teaching a full class on a single release
2. Attend AIM1 (advance instructor module 1)
3. Live assessment (selected areas only).

That's all..

But since CXWORX is new, they probably need to certify instructors asap.. Having said that, well... its 24 days to go till training.. and while counting down, expect me to go gym daily to train the core and abs to prepare for the hell..

Because nobody said instructors' training is easy.. it's perhaps one of the hardest trainings in the program, but undeniably, the best :)

I'm so looking forward to it!! :P


.

34 days to go

34 days to go to Module Training.. and LesMills has confirmed no certification to be done in module training for CXWORX despite earlier hearsays... NO..

Have to wait for certification via the normal channels...

But the good news is, I am going for the training under Fitness First, and I will serve to teach in FF once pass the training...


.

Registration Confirmed

My registration for CXWORX module training is confirmed..

So looking forward for it now..

.

Yay.. first post on my journey

You see.. I write about everything...

This is to share my journey to become a CXWORX instructor with everyone around the world..

CXWORX (formerly known as CX30, which happens to be a car's model), is the newest LesMills program to hit town.. A 30-minute format class, CXWORX focuses on the core.. CXWORX really hones in on the torso and sling muscles that connect your upper body to your lower body.. It’s ideal for tightening your tummy and butt, while also improving functional strength and assisting in injury prevention..

The way I did the class, and the way I see it, is the fastest way to 8 pecs.. Really, really is a abs killer.. you cannot feel your abs after the class...

Here's the video intro..

And so, today I submitted the registration form to sign up for the module training set to take place in TF Taipan on 1 & 2 October.. The 2 day training costs me AUD$349, the most expensive LesMills program to date.. And so far, only two gyms in Malaysia, I heard, will be taking the license, which is good news to me to be in the pioneer batch in South East Asia..

I have a goal for this.. to be CXWORX presenter in 6-12 months' time and to become a CXWORX trainer in 1-2 years..

In last Sunday's workshop, I listened diligently and did all the moves as perfect as I can.. It's an abs killer, especially Track 5 of the current release: whereby sitting on one side of the butt with one hand for support and both leg raised and cycle alternatively.. as the move goes, both legs move together then back to alternate legs.. all in all, I think this track is a crazy 5 minutes long..

The training will be done in the current release - CXWORX 4.. yes, it has been one year since it debut in Australia by program directors Dan Cohen (who also is program director for Bodycombat) and Susan..

This blog.. is for me to write my journey to share it with you...

Yes, welcome to my world.. welcome to my journey to become a CXWORX instructor.. to be among the first instructors in Malaysia and the region..


Adios~~
