bowling to get fit ....eeewww

a male colleague asked me to join them for a bowling tourney organised by the dictrict office to promote so call 'kecerdasan' (fitness). they require a team of 2 males and 1 female to make a team. as sporting as i can be, bowling tourney is a no-no. i am sure the ball will reach the drains more than the middle of the lane. and at the end of the day, there will be that pain in the fingers and maybe one or two chipped nails.

and getting fit via bowling?? i dun see any sweat in this sport. look at the bowlers...one example: shalin zulkifli. is she fit? i will shudder to have her figure. they choose bowling for those officers who sit in their offices and go bowling whenever they have the time in ipoh. these ppl have all their gears in a bag ready to go anytime. it is more for them to take away the trophy.

real fitness should be some activities on the field or in proper courts lah. then i will be up to it. then you really can see who is fit enuf for the challenge. all our officers are just preaching about getting fit without really doing it themselves. do you see any of our mps and the others working out? we only see their bellies expanding with each session and each appearance on the paper. photos of them eating at functions make the papers but none of them exercising.

everyone is just plain inactive when it comes to exercising. and i do understand lack of time is also one. but once it is drilled into one's daily habit, it should be easier. i am still going for my jog three times a week but damn it! i am cursing the plantar now (the bottom of the feet). the muscles there were twitching and pulling while i did my jog yesterday. i guess i will lay off those heels for this week and go back to flat shoes. the jogging session this evening is still on but i will keep my fingers crossed.
