Lately, my lower back has been aching and i feel a strain whenever i sit for long in the same position. I went to consult my 姨丈, he is a TCM Chinese Physician. I told him about my problem and he managed to give me a very good back massage (推拿) and "push" my back to the correct position. He said it could be due to my sitting posture.
Then i asked him about weight management and i told him that i go to the gym 3x a week. He asked me : "有人教你吗？". I told him : "No, 我自己做我的 routine."
He said : "很危险!!". I sensed his tone was serious and he explained that i could be using the wrong weights or doing wrong exercises. After hearing his explanation, i did some careful consideration and made up my mind - signed up for a Personal Trainer at the gym.
Today is my 1st session with my Personal Trainer - Mavis. She went through with me the routine of measuring height,weight, fats analysis and posture analysis. It was very useful and from here i learnt about my own body and also she will know which area i should work on to improve my back strenght. Hopefully with her guidance, i will be able to manage my backache and weight management.
Today after the training session, i went by to Munchy Donuts to buy home 1/2 dozen of yummy donuts. This is the 1st time we are trying Munchy, think it will be as delicious as donut factory since they look as good..hehe.

How's your back now? Hope you are better after the massage :)
I used to go the gym without a personal trainer too and I didn't realised it is dangerous.
Now with a PT, I'm sure you will hit your goal :)
