Contour Express : Gym for Women

Having been wanting to seek a more personalized gym session but feeling a little awkward working out with those buffy and muscular guys? Then head over to an all-female gym like Contour Express which has clubs dotted all over Singapore. They are conveniently located in the neighborhoods across the island. Last week, I went for a trial session at their Jurong East Branch.

Contour Express offers a mix of programmes like most commercial gyms do like circuit training sessions, group fitness classes and customized programmes like weight loss and vibration training. However, their main exercise programme is their 29-minute circuit workout which is a mix of cardio and strength training exercises to burn calories and tone the body.

It’s 29-minutes enough to see visible results? Yes! I went through one session of it and I must say that it can get quite exhausting for me even though I exercise frequently!

During your first session, the trainer will take your body stats and then have a little conversation with you to understand what are your fitness goals and give you advices on how to improve your current lifestyle with a good diet and exercise.

As usual, I still need to work on lowering my body fat as I think it has increase slightly even though my weight was still constant. It’s a constant struggle for me to really lose the excess weight even with the regular exercising and vegetarian diet. But I’m definitely not giving up yet!

 Another important discovery for me is how dehydrated my body is! The optimal water content for most women is 55% to 60%. But guess what? My total body water is only 47.8%. Perhaps that explains why my body is finding it really hard to shed the excess weight. I’m now making it a point to load up on water!!!
