關於 a couple times or a couple of times ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

This morning, as I started putting on my shoes to go for a run, my grandfather exclaimed "You've got to teach online in 25minutes!" 😱
"Yeah, I'm just going for a whizz round the block." 😎
"What on earth is the point in that??" 🤨 he responded.
-
I would be less fit if I never went for a run unless I had time to warm up, run 5k and stretch. I would be weaker if I only lifted weights when I had 1.5hrs for a full balls-to-the-wall session 🏋🏻‍♂️
-
Sure, some people can routinely make time for high intensity, high volume exercise.
Some people love making that the centrepiece of their day.
Some are both and content with fitness being a focal point of their life 👍🏽 but, contrary to what the instagram fitness world will lead you to believe, that's really fucking rare.
-
Way too may of us seem to think the goal is to "get fit". I can almost guarantee it shouldn't be for most. Not by whatever arbitrary definition of it you're using. You just need to get fit-ter 📈
-
A friend of mine the other day said "I can't go to the gym without a PT because if I go on my own I just get in a 60% workout and it's a waste of my time." 🤦🏻‍♂️
HOW have we been convinced that exercise at 60% is a waste of time? I’ll bet most “waste” more time daily scrolling 📱
-
Side note: If you think a PT's “job” is to run your arse into the ground at 100%, I can almost guarantee you've got a mediocre one 💁🏻‍♂️
-
Equally, it doesn't have to take a lot of your day ⏱ I consulted a couple the other day who have been "meaning to get fit" for a while. They already had a few machines, but seemed to think 15mins on them 3 times a week was pointless. No. What's pointless is having machines you never use.
-
🙏🏽 Please, just start by doing SOMETHING. Something you enjoy, that doesn't feel unpleasantly or unsustainably intense / difficult, and then do it for as long as is convenient. Once it's a habit, start trying to give it a bit more effort, and making a bit more time for it. I know we say to have goals in fitness and business and life but, for some, maybe it's the goal that has been getting in the way? Maybe it's the goal that's so daunting that you don't do ANYTHING to get yourself closer to it? 🧐

Happy 6 months old to this darling boy!

Yup, it's quite unbelievable that it's been half a year since this baby came into the world. Every day, I count my blessings for having him in my life and how he has made everything better and happier for all of us.

He has started eating apple, potato and carrot purée and is curious about anything that goes into his mouth. He drools all the time and likes to chomp on everything he sees, including my shirt, his fingers, toys and cutlery.

He sleeps besides me and wakes up a few times every night, looking for Mama and needing his milk before he dozes off again. After over four months, he finally learnt how to side latch which makes my nights easier and I love the way we sleep so close to each other.

Many people mistake him for a girl because of his thick mop of hair and I've already cut it thrice because it gets long so fast. He also has cute dimples on his round and chubby face which makes me wanna kiss him a thousand times a day.

He is starting to experience separation anxiety and at times only wants Mama and no one else to carry him. It's funny how a glimpse of me or just the sound of my voice can trigger a big reaction in him, and while this phase of being needed 24/7 is tiring, I cherish it so, so much.

A couple of nights ago, the big girl came up to me and said "Thank you for giving birth to Ansel and bringing him into our lives", the sister said "He is the cutest baby in the world" while the brother said "We are so lucky to have a boy cos' I have a Didi now." Awww. It's plain to see how much they adore this baby and how deeply he is loved each day.

Thank you for brightening up our days with your contagious smile and hearty laughter. Thank you for being you. We love you so, so much, dear Ansel! ❤

DISCLAIMER:

This workout routine is not a spot-reduction exercise routine. Perhaps, Spot-reduction is a fitness myth. You can't burn fat in a specific area (belly, triceps, chest, legs) by doing a specifically targeted muscle group exercise. However, the title of this video "Fat Burning Abs Workout", is a couple of different abdominal exercises in a circuit form, added active rest that keeps your heart rate firing at a higher rate throughout the entire 4 minutes of this workout. Therefore, you will burn more calories/fat with this type of workout routine. Of course, the fitter you are the more rounds you can go = more calorie burn.

The exercises and workouts provided in this video are for educational purposes only and are not to be interpreted as a recommendation for a specific treatment plan, product, or course of action.

Before beginning this or any exercise program, please consult a physician for appropriate exercise prescription and safety precautions.

As with any exercise program, if at any point during your workout you begin to feel faint, dizzy, or have physical discomfort, you should stop immediately and consult a physician.
