Spinning time is here again.

After spending so long working out on the cross-trainer machines, and diligently following My Super Sweet 16 or Teen Cribs on MTV while trying to workout a decent amount of sweat, I thought I'd give my Monday workout a change.

I spotted a couple of weeks back that the gym has placed a spinning bike outside the spinning studio next to the other machines. So, finally yesterday I remembered that I should get on the spinning bike again. I cannot remember the last time I was in a spinning class, must have easily been 4 years ago!

So, without a trainer, I had to come up with my own routines. Managed to find a great site that provides some information and some track suggestions... http://spinningmusic.wordpress.com/.

I thought I had a great workout. Must do it again with increased intensity next week. Here's my track list yesterday:

Warmup

If we ever meet again (Timbaland Ft. Katy Perry)

Climbs

Come on Eileen (Dexy's Midnight Runners)

Don't stop believin' (Glee's Lea Michele & Cory Monteith's version)

Sprints

Gonna Make You Sweat - Everybody Dance Now (C&C Music Factory feat. Freedom Williams)

Obsessed rmx (Mariah Carey Ft. Gucci Mane)

* I think I skipped Lifts/Jumps cause I have no clue what the routine should be for this one, (must read up more on this) and went straight to...

Lead/Single Lead

* It's suppose to be longish songs with a steady beat and are particularly suited to single leg training - I missed the single leg bit, but went ahead using A (yes, only one unfortunately) longish song which I found with

Don't Stop Till You Get Enough (Michael Jackson of course!)

Cooldown

I reduced the resistance and paced with

Virtual Insanity (Jamiroquai)

Whataya Want from Me (Adam Lambert)

Did some stretchings while listening to

Hands to heaven (Breathe)

and just managed (barely) to do sit ups on the exercise ball throughout

With You (Chris Brown)

So there, my workout regime yesterday. Got any track suggestions?

Quit smoking the easy way.

Are you smoking or you have a spouse who smokes?

Do you yourself wish to stop smoking?

Do you wish your spouse stops smoking?

Do your children wish you or you spouse stops smoking?

Or are you thinking about picking up smoking?

My hubby came home from work a couple of weeks ago, declaring I'm doing this because of you kids! The kids have been bugging him to stop smoking, he has been getting a lot of nagging from them. Here are some of the stuff that he has been getting from Nayli and Zarif:

• Papa, did God ask you to smoke? (Zarif) - must be because he sees his Papa smokes "religiously"!!!
• "Papa, don't you pity me?", Nayli said one day. "Why Nayli?", her father asked. "Well, just think. I will be left on my own with my brothers and Mama is all alone to take care of us. You smoke all the time! My teacher said, ... Smokers have the tendency to die early! Who's gonna take care of us when you're gone?", answered Nayli.

Thanks to them, I don't have to say anything, ha!ha! Well, looks like their nagging works. Hubby bought himself this E-cigarettes. Have you heard of this before? I haven't. Apparently, it looks, feels, tastes like a cigarette but it isn't one! Difficult to believe? I know!

It's supposed to give smokers a real "smoking" experience without the dangerous chemicals, carcinogens, fire, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash or smell found in real cigarettes. There are no side effects and not detectable by smoke detectors.

I can confirm that yes, I have to agree with the smoke and smell bit. Hubby never smokes when we are in the car with him. However, since the E-Ciggy, he can smoke even without winding down the windows. No smell & smoke, just vapour. It's even safer than Shishas. Amazing!

So ladies, if your hubby is still smoking the conventional ciggys, time to introduce this to him eh? Check out their website at smokerhaven. Just don't get attracted by their Shisha Strawberry and Chocolate Indulgence flavoured catridges though!
