101 Challenges:

Location: Bangkok

Today we met up with our Mr Motivator who was going to help us complete our Temple Bodies Challenge. This is where we have to lose excess body weight and get super fit in a few short weeks. God, we thought this was supposed to be a holiday.

Just before leaving to meeting Mr Motivator Lindsay was posing in the mirror and could not see how he would be able to improve on his Arnie type physique. He asked Lee how he could improve on perfection. Lee pointed out that Lindsay had a slightly wonky mirror in his hotel room which caused a weird image to form. This was much like the effect the Funny Mirrors have at the Fun Fair. Lee pointed out another mirror in the bathroom and Lindsay looked into it in aghast. There before him stood his real body and we left the room with Lindsay disputing which one of the mirrors was actually dodgy.
 
We met Mr Motivator at an outside gym in a park in the Silom area of Bangkok. He was a guy called Daniel originally from Bangkok but lived in Germany until recently. He quickly introduced himself and then ripped us apart on our unhealthy bodies and lifestyle. We were put through some fitness tests and then given a programme to work at. This programme basically involved running, swimming, sit-ups, press-ups etc. Lindsay was also told to lay of the burgers and Lee told to work on having a mans body rather than the feminine capsule in which he inhabited. Mr Mo-thai-vator had given had spoken. Time to get fit!

We then joined in a outdoor aerobics class in the same park. The class was huge and 100’s of mostly fit locals participated. The first five minutes were hard. Trying to find the rhythm of the class was very difficult but soon we were both strutting our stuff.

Ten minutes later Lee was on his back panting heavily but not in a good way. The heat and this new thing called exercise had taken its toll. Lee scared of being the first crushing death in aerobics history decided he best leave the area before being trampled. Standing was not possible so he rolled onto his stomach and then onto all fours, picking up his bag with his teeth he crawled to safety. Lindsay danced on and on.
