ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: AUG PG3: LAST WORKOUT FOR MT KINABALU

.

30 July 2010.  I arrived this morning and had a shocked to see a women in BLACK-dress standing by the field at 5:30am.... The dress was so long that I could not even see the leg.. its like a women floating in darkness. A closer look....... It was Farhanah Bamadhaj.. our admin, in long black jubah. She is on MC and came without the grey or blue tshirt.. (10 Grunts)

3rd session today focussed on major muscle group with the three main circuit namely (1) Upper Body Race Circuit (2) Lower body Race Circuit and (3) Core Race Circuit. The three circuits targeted the Deltoids (shoulder), trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, back muscle, gluteus, rectus abdominis (abs), Pectoralis Major & minor (chest), rectus femoris, sartorius, Gluteus maximus and adductor magnus.... these were the muscle that was smiling with today's session.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: AUG PG2-THE FAT-BURNING GRINDERS

.

28 JULY 2010, a second session is usually a mild introduction session after the benchmark assessment but today... the session felt tougher. Its either, there will be no mercy from start or I was still recovering from the Mt Nuang climb.. i think its the latter.

Having trekked, hiked and climbed up and back down Mt Nuang for 8 hours, we thought we would be stronger but the 1 hour session was damn good that I ended up back in bed and slept for an hour before jumping out into the shower and left for work.

Corporal Sandy took us through the warming up before leading us to the circuit field for a two partner-base-circuits. Sarge Dann assisted and observed Corporal Sandy commanding the Alpha-platoon. All instructors together, trained on alternate days to polished themselves and to be better.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA @ BANDAR UTAMA WENT CLIMBING MOUNT NUANG

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA @ BANDAR UTAMA WENT RUNNING AT BHP ORANGE 11KM RUN @ CURVE

25 JULY 2010. Whilst 8 recruits (including guests) from the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA @ Bandar Utama went for MOUNT NUANG EXPEDITION in Hulu Langat, another 8 recruits participated in the BHP Orange run.

Since the BHP Orange run was first organised, we had never missed it every year but this year, we went to Mt Nuang expedition instead but our circle of friends from the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA @ Bandar Utama ran the BHP Orange 11km run and many of them were first time participants at the BHP Orange run and some were Virgin runners.

Those BHP Orange Runners from the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA @ Bandar Utama were..

This year marked an important year for PROTON having celebrated its 25th year anniversary and MAYBANK's 50th year anniversary but more importantly this year is also my parent's 40th year anniversary, my elder sister Chempaka Emalin & Azhar Sulaiman's 15 year anniversary, Mine's 10th YEAR, my sisters Melor Edina & Rhiza Ghazi's 10th Year and Dr Teratai Edithy & Shazrul Azwa Asari's 5th anniversary.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: BU-OBC 11/12: SPLASHING MOMENT

.

21 July 2010. Its the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA July second last session at Bandar Utama and the weather was moody and tantrum, crying out a downpour of rain. The sky was so dark.... Oh.. its dark because it was 5:30am, the time we arrived at the BU3/1 football field. In darkness, we can only imagine the field condition.

The rain was still heavy when Sarge did the roll-call. Corporal Chun and Corporal Sandy Robers were the other instructors for today's session. All the Kiasu were present but almost half of the recruits were absent. When the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP tagged the line "Rain Hail or Shine" we exercise... they really mean business.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL WITH SANDRA OLIVIA ROBERTS, ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA CORPORAL

IPOH INTERNATIONAL HALF MARATHON

.

18 July 2010, Ipoh. Which hotel did we book again? I asked Nawal Aini Zulkifli as we searched the GPS to find our way to the Hotel in Ipoh. It was almost 9pm and we drove in heavy rain from KL to Ipoh. Its the Ritz Carlton, said Rose Emini Pahamin via the Blackberry Chat. Rose Emini Pahamin, Ilyanna Aylin Ayob, Bahariah Bahadom, Suriana Saiful, Nyna Mohsen hadarrived earlier in the morning.

To cut the story short, we were rescued by Aunty Umi, Mum's best friend whom is an Ipoh'ian. We reached the hotel and saw a big signboard that reads... "Ritz Kowloon". No, we didnt stay there but the next block the Ritz Garden.

Bahariah Bahadom booked our hotel rooms via the internet bearing the distance to the Stadium where we will be running but without any knowledge of the hotel except for the pictures posted on the internet that look pretty awesome. To cut the story short again... the soonest we enter the hotel and into our room, Nawal Aini Zulkifli said... this hotel smells Sex but the hotel, lobby and the rooms were clean, tidy, neat and nice.

UPCLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH NAWAL AINI ZULKIFLI, ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA LANS CORPORAL

16 July 2010 Its the second Bring-A-Friend day at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama. The first Bring-A-Friend Day was instructed by our special guest Chief Brabon, the founder and Managing Director of ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP Worldwide. Today, we had special guests too but not to instruct. Our special guest today was a bunch of HARLEY DAVIDSON bikers led by Raja Affandi, an existing recruit at BU-Bravo.

Just as the warm up started, the bikers arrived fashionably late backed by a thunder-storm noise BROOOM BROOOOM VROOOOM BOM BOM BOM....

UPCLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH CHUN CHIA KAI, THE ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA CORPORAL

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JULY PAGE 8/12: WELCOME BACK

.

14 July 2010. Welcome back John Chuah, Tricia Fredericks and all those football World Cup followers. The past month has been tough on both recruits and trainers whom suffered from the World Cup Jetlag, staying up late at night with only very few hours of sleep. They were only physically in Malaysia but their thought and mind were in South Africa. 18 recruits were absent on Monday's training session when they did not get sufficient sleep watching the final match between Spain and Holland. Some recruits were Spain and some Holland strong supporters but some simply wanted to see if Paul the Octopus (Sotong) prediction was true. Me...? I just like to eat Sotong.

Paul the Sotong's prediction was right... Spain won!! and so was the prediction that we will suffer if we missed any training session. To welcome back those Missing-in-World-Cup, we had an exhilarating 705 calories burn session this morning with Ropes and killer sprint and run cardio.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA BRING-A-FRIEND DAY @ BANDAR UTAMA

FRIDAY 16 JULY 2010 is the monthly BRING-A-FRIEND-DAY at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama.

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY PROTON

We received PROTON Holdings Berhad invitation card early for the celebration of Proton 25 years silver jubilee on 9 July 2010.

The celebration was held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on 9 July 2010 and 2500 guests were invited including former pioneer staff of Proton.

WEEKEND BIRTHDAY @ SEPANG GOLDCOAST

.
A special movie dedication to Mother on her 62nd Birthday (click HERE if the Youtube file did not appear).



9 July 2010, on a 4 car convoy everybody except for me, Rhiza and Azhar Sulaiman left for Sepang Golden Palm resort Gold Coast to celebrate Mum's 62nd Birthday. I had to attend Proton 25 year Silver jubilee celebration at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Rhiza was in Penang attending a court case.. Lawyer! Azhar Sulaiman was in Johor doing some movie shooting.

We bought the villa at the Sepang Gold Coast but took 4 Villas for this weekend celebration.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA @ BANDAR UTAMA FIRST GRADUATION PARTY AT ECOBA

 7 July 2010. Its Party time time at the ECOBA.

Why?  Well.. Like what I've mentioned before, we don't really need a reason to party... but if there must me a reason, it must be to give ourselves a deserving break from a month of exercising. There is no better reason but to pat ourselves on the back and say... hey, we took the first step of health-maintenance. There is also no better people to celebrate it with, beside the people that share similar passion.

BREAKDOWN WITH EXCELLENT SERVICE

.

I rushed through the early bad morning traffic and took the NKVE highway to Putrajaya to attend the Ministry of Finance 2011, Budget Consultative Council meeting when suddenly my driver prompted the car in smoke!!!!

I look back through the rear screen and saw a thick smoke and immediately asked my driver to stop the car... Who knows, the car may be blown to pieces and I wont be around for the first ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP graduation party tomorrow night.

The council meeting to be chaired by YAB Prime Minister is scheduled to start at 9am and the time then was 8:35am.

We stopped the car by the road side and saw a thick red-oil flowing under the car.... Gearbox problem, my driver claimed. Less than 3 years old MERCEDES  bought new from NZ Wheel have successfully gathered a long list of problems... but that is a story for another occasion.

ROUND-TABLE MEETING WITH MAYBANK BERHAD

.


24 June 2010, Dataran Maybank Bangsar. PEDA executive committees had an official round-table meeting with Maybank Autofinance team at the Dataran Maybank in Bangsar.

Personally, I have a long 13 years good history with Maybank since 1997. Maybank was the first Bank that offered my first business facility during the inception of my Proton Edar Dealership after my merchank banking days with the Commerce International Merchank Bankers Berhad (Now known as CIMB Investment Bank).

The first Maybank Manager that attended to me was Murad whom was then the Maybank Branch Manager for Klang in 1997. Murad was the first Manager that introduces me to the Floor-stocking facilities. When Murad was transfered to Medan Pasar, Norhisham Hashim took over the Klang Branch. Through Norisham, I learn the automotive trade and very negligibly through by Proton Edar.

After Norisham, Musawir attended to me when my facility was transfered to Puchong. 13 years later, all of them are now a prominent banker with an office on the highest floor at the Dataran Maybank, Bangsar. Alhamdulillah, everybody are successful.

ITS PARTY TIME...!!!

.


Where? Damansara Perdana, The Ecobar Restaurant & bar

When? Wednesday, 7 July 2010, 7:30pm onwards

Why? There are reasons.. but then who needs a reason to Party.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUL PG3/12: GOOD FRIDAY

.

2 July 2010. TGI Friday... Thank God Its Friday... actually its more like OGI Friday.... Oh God Its Friday... Its already Friday and the beginning of the third quarter of the year. The half year is gone and the New Year Resolution is still far-fetched... but that is a story for another occasion.

What is more relevant, was the exercising via the bootcamp that is still consistently an ACE (Attendance, Commitment and Effort) for the past half year!! though the target running races for this year is still lacking... but that too is a story for another occasion.

More than 50% of recruits FFK/skipped the Benchmark Assessment on Monday. When they thought they could escaped scot free, they were alienated this morning from the rest to performed the Benchmark Assessment. The Benchmark Assessment assessment is important to gauge the the level of fitness of each recruit.

BSN BANK

.
Together with Proton Edar Dealers Association Malaysia (PEDA) Vice-President Lee Lick Sai and exco Fathul Rahman, PEDA paid an official and friendly visit the BSN Bank. It is a regular meeting to keep ourselves updated with the on-goings in the market but part of our primary agenda was for a better financing package to both our members and for Proton buyers.

Our meeting was attended to by two of the three deputy Chief Executives, the senior Vice-President and the Head (See: BSN organisation chart) namely, BSN Deputy Chief Executive Office for Credit Management & Business Support Winston E. Jeyaprakash, Deputy Chief Executive for Consumer banking & Business Development Yunos Abd Ghani, Senior Vice President Akhsan Zaini and Head of Credit Management Department Abdullah Aziz Buyong.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JULY PG 2/12: GOOD BYE JUNE

.
30 June 2010. The first session of every month is always the Benchmark Assessment. The second session is always the ranking of recruits into their respective fitness level which are the Delta, Seals and Ranger. The benchmark timing is not the only factor that influenced the ranking of recruits. The forms & techniques, medical & health condition as well as their competitiveness and aptitude too, determines the recruit's ranking. Although all the recruits have already been given their respective rank, Sarge Dann, or the lead instructor will raised the recruits a level up or down based on his observation on the recruits fitness level during training. So be wary, you may be demoted or promoted a level up.

The Deltas are the cream and the fittest in the platoon. We should be aspired to grow-up (in a few months) and be like them. The rangers are the best spirited people.. I always look at Ranger Lizza Abdul Rahim for inspiratoin. Her determination during every workout... no matter how hard or strenuous the workout is, she will always smile and pushed herself without ever 'stalling... cheating'... unlike somebody.

SKATE MALAYSIA 2010

The weekend was as usual... full of 'ings ! Beside Bootcamp'ing, Facebooking, Proton'ing, Blog'ing, Run'ing, driver'ing doing errand'ing... this weekend too was about skate'ing.... ICE-SKATING!!  No not me...

Dad raised Chempaka Emalin without any 'Father-Hood' experience but I was lucky, Dad has had 3 years of raising Chempaka Emalin by the time I was born.

.
18 June 2010. 700 calories burn & free body scrub!!! Aiiiyaa.. Spilled out the beans... this was suppose to be the end orgasmic statement but was abit impatient. I mean, when was the last time you had your thigh, tummy and the inbetweenies scrubbed? very Kinkilicious..

Sarge Dann, Corporal Chun and LC Nawal were the Reds... and we were group-up for the Rope-Climb-Relay!!! This is exactly why I love the program at the Original Bootcamp (no this is not an advertisement) but this is exactly why it is so addictive!! At every session, there will always be something new!!!

To add up to the excitement, Freda Liu is back after a quiet disappearance to Penang where she carbo-loaded herself for the bootcamp.... or maybe she came to bootcamp to burn the loaded-carbo? We also had a new pretty & single recruit, Michelle.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 7/12: A SESSION WITH THE MENTOR

(Do not adjust your computer screen, the few pictures on the left was meant to be 'blur'.. its called the 'paparazzi-skill' (i think))

MENTORING WITH CHIEF BRABON


We attended the second ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP Academy held at Brickfield on 12 June 2010. The session start at 7am sharp. Chief Brabon & Gunny Emily arrived late last night form Sydney Australia to conduct the academy. The first session was held in April last month.

The academy was conducted to train and re-train all ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP instructors and to assess/re-assess their performance and program deliverables.

The academy is compulsory for all instructors and admins personnel. I led my team of 11 instructors and admins from the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ BANDAR UTAMA (OBC-BU). Those from OBC-BU were Sarge Dann, Corporal Armin (Head-Operation), Corporal Chun, Corporal Sandy Roberts, Lans Corporal Nawal, Lans Corporal (Admin) Farhanah Bamadhaj, Lans Corporal (P) Jasper Chai, Lans Corporal (P) Erni, Ody Lana (Admin), Dr Malek Aziz (Head-Admin), Rose Emini (Head-Accountant, PR).

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 6/12: G IS TABOO?

11 June 2010. After the warm-up this morning, we escaped the G for AWOL and had a jogging road tour around the BU3/1 road instead.. Someone just could not say out the taboo word G... or the Grunts.  G was popularized by Yam Chan Siu Cheh. The partner of the recently celebrated birthday boy, James Fong.

The platoon was divided into two under Sarge Dann and by Corporal Chun. Sarge Dann was assisted by Lans Corporal (P) Erni and Corporal Chun by Lans Corporal Nawal.

Today was the FRIDAY SPECIALS... especially for those Friday night party-goers to be in short skirts and spaghetti string top.

CHIEF BRABON, FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR, ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP INTERNATIONAL

.

The ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP was founded in 1991 by a former Australian Army Infantry Soldier known as Chief Brabon in the Southern Hemisphere. Chief Brabon as an avid runner, had completed his first marathon when he was 16 years old in 2:56:45 and his first Ultra-marathon when he was 18. Todate, Chief had competed in various events from track runs (800m) to 213km extreme 5 days Ultra-marathon in Military uniforms and combat boots.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 5/12: LOVE TRIANGLE

.

9 June 2010.. We have all been through the Love Triangle relationship at some point in life either in friendship, romance, familial or pre-existing hatred between rivals and even sexual interactions. Recruits that have never been in any Love Triangle, were forced into one today with the Love Triangle Circuit (name not related to OBC-terms or names).

As the name implied, the love triangle comprised of 3 parties (aka stations) and usually someOne will be left feeling betrayed. However at the bootcamp, a guided polyamory was agreed and supervised by Sarge Dann and assisted by Corporal Chun, Lans Corporal Nawal and Lans Corporal (P) Erni.

There were three guided sets of polyamory in the Love Triangle. Sarge Dann guided the first set for a specific area...

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 4/12: BATTLE WITH ROPES

.

My arms, back & abs were still burning as I woke up this morning from yesterday's crazy 100 assisted pullups, 100 bench-presses and 100 decline situps at the gym. I had my fingers-crossed for some cardio workout at today's fourth June Original Bootcamp @ Bandar Utama session!! but we had more super upper body and abs workout!! SARGE!!! HAVE MERCY!! Next time, maybe should cross the leg instead.

When the Thailand government were battling Thaksin's 'red' supporters and the World against the Zionist regime in Israel whom blocked the aid mission convoy in international waters, we were BATTLING the ROPES in Malaysia field at Bandar Utama.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE PAGE 3/12: PRISONERS OF WAR/POW RACE

.

4 JUNE 2010. The circuits prepared at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama (OBC-BU) targets at least a 500 calories burn for men and 400 for women DURING the 1 HOUR exercise. Through the Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOX), the body will continue to burn more calories throughout the day. The circuits at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP is a cutting edge Metabolic Conditioning program that has been scientifically designed for ordinary people to achieve extra-ordinary result... the most sought after result is of course, fat burn, toning and athletic improvement.

To achieve at least 500 calories burn, OBC-BU core instructors actually performed the circuit before prescribing it to the recruits. All of OBC-BU instructors are fanatical with their own performances having a 'built-in' passion in more than one sporting-activities. Me.. being a recruit, and alongside other recruits with 'calories-counter' will verify those supposedly 500 calories burn!!! Freak? ...Mad?? yaaa.. Its good to be surrounded by people that share the same 'mad-passion'.... and its good to learn there is a PROGRAM designed for ordinary people to be mad... and get mad result.

PROTON 4U DAY... AT PROTON EDAR @ PUTRAJAYA

.

5 June 2010, it is Proton For You Day.. or weekend rather, at  PROTON EDAR at PUTRAJAYA.  Proton 4 U Day/Weekend is a customer's appreciation weekend. We are grateful towards the support that was given to Proton since establishment for already 25 years and hope to gauge a clearer and closer understanding of what Malaysian needs.

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE, PAGE 2/12: THE GRINDERS & LIZZA ABDUL RAHIM

.
2 June 2010. Being a paparazzi the whole of last week during the trial week had taken a toll in my training consistency. This was exactly why we at KLA started the 100% ACE (Attendance, Commitment and effort). To avoid any lost in momentum and stamina if any sessions were missed but even with the consistency, it has been awhile since I had a good workout... maybe burned out... or perhaps had plateau in training.

We had a roll call and the warm up began at 5:45am sharp. As if the warm-up was not enough, the 5 sets of 30 seconds squat pulses for 5 AWOLS made us warmer.... and the additional 10 Grunts for late-comers boiled us hot. It was the first taste of squat pulses & Grunts to many new recruits.

THE "NEW" BOOTCAMP AT PADANG MERBUK & PADANG ASTAKA

.

While in Singapore over the weekend, I received endless email and updates on 'Bootcamp' latest controversy. Since I blogged and posted the Official Statement from Chief Brabon, the Founder and Managing Director of the Original Bootcamp Australia, I feel it will be unjust if I do not publish and comment on the Official Statement from Selva Kumar, the "BULLDOG LOGO ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, Since 1991" former licensee for Padang Merbuk and Padang Astaka. We should always base our judgement on explicit facts and details rather than on hearsay, assumptions and rumours.

The summary of Selva Kumar's Official Statement is as follows:

ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP MALAYSIA: JUNE-PG1/12: BENCHMARK ASSESSMENT

.

The first session of every month at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP is always the BENCHMARK ASSESSMENT. This BENCHMARK ASSESSMENT is important for the instructor to gauge the recruits physical ability in strength, muscular endurance, stamina, agility and speed. With the Benchmark Assessment too, the instructors will also have a better insight in the recruits ability to go beyond the physical fatigue.

This is important for the instructors to categories the recruits unto their respective rank, eg, Delta, Seals and Rangers according to their benchmark timing. The benchmark timing is not the only factor used in categorising recruits but the characteristics of competitiveness or KIASU-ness of the recruits too will determine their category. Recrutis whom are less Kiasu.. requires more team-work effort and motivation. These factors are important to ensure the gains of every recruits are at the optimal.

ONE NIGHT IN SINGAPORE.. SUNDOWN MARATHON.

.

It was a spontaneous and unplanned decision to take a drive to Singapore for the ADIDAS SUNDOWN MARATHON and support more than half a dozen of our fellow Bootcampers whom are running the race. I ran the 84km Singapore Sundown Ultra-marathon when it was first launched 2 years ago but managed to only complete 56km. I completed the balance 28km (to make it a total of 84km) in 3 instalments (10km per instalment & extra 2km for instalment interest) within a month after the actual race ... (See: My Xtreme). but try not to be like me....

WHAT HAPPEN TO OBC AT PADANG MERBUK & PADANG ASTAKA ?

.

I had just received an "OFFICIAL STATEMENT" via an email from the Managing Director of the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP INTERNATIONAL, CHIEF BRABON whom 20 years ago, founded the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP authorised network that offered the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP PROGRAM as services. It was a long email that is attached at the bottom of this blog article.

Being a new license operator for the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama, I was shocked to receive the Official Statement email addressed to all current & past recruits and instructors.

The summary of the OFFICIAL STATEMENT is as follows;

ERNI SYAZWAMI AZMAN (LANCE CORPORAL (P) @ ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ BANDAR UTAMA

For Instructors Ranking eg. Sarge, Corporal, Lance Corporal, see: OBC-RANKING)


ERNI SYAZWANI AZMAN, also known as Lance Corporal Erni or LC Erni at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP is a Lance Corporal in Probation that had underwent more than a month of six days a week daily training to familiarise herself with the Original Bootcamp forms & technique, Culture, Terminology and Training Style.

BU-OBC: TW 2/3- MANIMALS....

.
27 May 2010, a herd of Manimals were spotted at Bandar Utama at 5:45am this morning. A witness claimed the group of people suddenly transformed into monkey, bear and crab and apparently clearing the football field from dozens of unwanted 'merchandise'... reported Armin News Network (ANN). Upon further investigation, the manimals were actually a group of people whom shared similar goal to be healthy, fitter and sexier... the manimal way.

Such will be the circuits pre-prepared for the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ Bandar Utama... It varies from a variety types of animal movements (see: animal workout) to human forms and endless of other carefully designed circuits but with the same objective of targeting specific muscle group, fat burn and cardio gains.

BU-OBC: THE FIRST PAGE........... TRIAL WEEK TW 1/3

.

25 May 2010. The first Page of a new chapter. We were all nervous, excited and anxious to start our first trial week. We wanted it to be perfect. We have been practicing and rehearsing daily for the whole month digesting all that we learn at the Bootcamp Academy for today. We vetted through the whole registration and there were only 19 listed members whom had previously attended the Original Bootcamp session. From the total, 53 registered were all newbies to the Original Bootcamp. The initial circuit designed for today was too strenuous to those that had never exercise before. The circuit was mellowed  to make it slightly easier, fun and with an initial target calories burn of at least 300 during the session and continuously burning after session through the EPOC (Excessive Post-Ecercise Oxygen Consumption) effect.

Every circuit was scientifically designed for the best gain via the mentoring program that was made available to all franchisee based from over 20 years of experience... but, every session is 'like a box of chocolate'... said Forest Gump, we dont know what we going to get.

KL ALPHA..THE CLOSING OF A CHAPTER

.

21 MAY 2010 Friday, Padang Merbuk. We were awake even before the alarm clock screamed. After 8 months of waking up at 4:30am daily, our biological clock had accustomed to the early morning wake-up call. Nawal Aini Zulkifli, Rose Emini Pahamin and I cruised slowly to padang merbuk at only 140km per hour. We were excited to graduate with honours on another month of ACE. I was absent for the first time with a sprained ankle but had it replaced with the instructors training at bandar Utama which had been ongoing for the whole month in May.

We arrived 10 minutes before the session start and I quietly went for the last piss-in the bushes.. A moment I can only enjoy at KL Alpha, Padang Merbuk. To be honest, that was the first time in 20 years... since I last 'pissed' in public!! Okaaay.. maybe I dont need to be so honest but it did feel good... doing 'it' in the open .At OBC-Bandar Utama, I have to settle for the boring conventional public toilet. Why cant we all be 'green'.

LACTATE TRANSITION AND VO2 MAX TEST

.

7 May 2010, University Malaya. Its been a week since we received the approval for the Original Bootcamp franchise in Bandar Utama. To ensure Original Bootcamp @ Bandar Utama key personnel and team qualifies in stamina and fitness to be an instructor, we brought the whole team (including the admins) to the Department of Exercise Physiology, Sports Centre, University Malaya.


We arrived at the Physiology Lab after the Friday Bootcamp session.

Upon entering the lab, we were amazed at the computers and equipments the lab was equipped. Although we were excited with the assessment but we were also nervous. Except for the Original Bootcamp-Bandar Utama Sarge Daing Daniel Fitri, non of us was ever assessed by computers in a real sports laboratory.


COUNT DOWN FOR THE ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ BANDAR UTAMA

.
Since Bandar Utama was given the approval as an Original Bootcamp franchise on 27 April 2010 (known as OBC-BU), Sarge Dann has been busy training the instructors and be trained. Trainers at the Original Bootcamp must be better and fitter than all the recruits. The recruits usually comprised of a good mix of athlete whom seek to improve their performance and couch potatoes whom had never exercise before. At the Original Bootcamp, the instructors led by example and train together with the recruits instead of the conventional old fashion ways of only bossing people what to do...

For the whole month in May, on non-OBC days,  the trainers met three times a week to perfected their forms and techniques.

We learn the correct form and techniques from Chief Brabon during the Original Bootcamp Academy. There, we learn so many different forms and technique that we had to digest it slowly via our own instructors training. More often, we discounted and/or compromised our forms and techniques during training which is not acceptable to any Original Bootcamp instructors.

THE LAST WEEK AT KL ALPHA ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP, PADANG MERBUK

.
17 May 2010. Its the last week of my Eight Month training at the Original Bootcamp KL Alpha. This will also be my last month at KL Alpha.

FIVE minutes is excellent!! but now she went back AWOL for a mont!! Rienna Choo & Amy Ho whom had improved their stamina and were confident enough to participate in running events!! Suloshini Jahanath speaks more on facebook but was very quiet on the field unless provoked!! The determination of Eva Wong whom after 4 months, manage to complete her benchmark timing on time!! That is a huge achievement.

PEDA APOLOGIZES TO PROTON BUYER FOR THE MINOR GLITCHES IN DELIVERIES

.

Beginning on 1 April 2010, Proton Edar had adopted and implemented a new system that should enhance and benchmark Proton delivery qualities as well as STANDARDIZE the quality of Proton cars to be delivered to customers. Previous to the new system, dealers and showrooms PDI-ed (Pre-Delivery Inspection) the vehicles individually and there were no standard delivery quality of Proton Cars.

The new system, will enhanced and standardized the quality of vehicles to be delivered to the customer. However, there were some minor glitches that had caused some delay in the vehicle deliveries coupled by the unstable e-daftar and e-kastam online payment.

Although these are beyond the dealers, PEDA apologized for any inconveniences to the affected Proton buyer. Rest assure, counter-measures has been taken to rectify the delay.

CONGRATULATION TO ALL INSTRUCTORS @ ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP BANDAR UTAMA

.
After graduating from Level 1, Military Fitness Leader Certification @ the Original Bootcamp Academy, the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP @ BANDAR UTAMA instructors were certified with the following ranking:

BOOTCAMP INSTRUCTORS RANKING

NOTE: The ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP™ ranks held by our Instructors in no way reflect the ranks that those individuals may currently hold, or have previously held in any arm of the military, law enforcement or fire/rescue. They are purely ranks that they have earned in relation to the provision of the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP™ program.
Here is a brief write-up to further understand the instructors ranking at the ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP...
LANCE CORPORAL - Lance Corporals are essentially apprentices, who are still learning the ropes and perfecting forms and techniques. It may be that they are still undertaking additional studies to become a fully qualified Instructor.
