I am so very sad. It is so difficult to lose weight. This is even so especially when you are approaching forty! About a week ago, I bought this interesting exercise equipment that guarantees fat and weight loss around your midsection in weeks. I was fascinated by the video that showed a model who seemed to enjoy sitting on the chair, lifting her hands up like a marathon runner and twisting her torso on it. All I had to do was sit on the equipment, (it looks like a sitting toilet) and the chair will twist from right to left and I had to twist my waist from the opposite direction. I couldn't wait to try it.
I read all the instructions and watched the exercise video repeatedly. When I finally started to twist my torso sitting on the chair, I realised that my ass was too big for the chair...my excess weight was spilling off the chair. Well, I thought to myself that the maximum weight load for this equipment is a hundred and twenty kilos and I am a few kilos less than that. I shouldn't have a problem with that, the model looked very comfortable and so should I! I thought.
I was already feeling uncomfortable sitting on the chair. I still persevered to lift my arms like I was trying to run and twist from the opposite direction of the chair. I felt like Humpty Dumpty who sat on the wall...and finally when I had to lift both my legs off the chair and twist my tummy(as what was shown on the video)....yes...Humpty Dumpty had a great fall and that was that.
I have not touched that equipment after that. I paid over a thousand ringgit for it. Hmm...BELIEVE me when I say that this WAIST TWISTER IS NOT PRACTICAL for OBESE people like me who are trying to lose weight. I decided to stick to my treadmill instead.
By the way, does anyone know where in Penang can I buy plus sized cotton track pants for me to use for my exercise sessions? Perhaps the manufacturers assume that people like us do not and will not exercise and so they don't manufacture plus sized exercise clothes? I window shopped for some exercise wear and found out that there is nothing bigger than an XL size!! I can't even dream about wearing spandex! So, so sad, so very sad.
