Weekend Non Gym Session 06/05/2012

Weekend Non Gym Session 06/05/2012

On Sunday, I participated for the Wesak day walk. This is mainly for the parade on Wesak day and it took about 2 hours of walking from Taman Megah to SS2 and vice versa. As this is the last year I will be in Malaysia, I decided to give this another go.

The possible statistic for this walk is as follows:

Sunday, 06/05/2012, heavycardio session (Evening) 
 2 hours walking in conjunction with the parade from Taman Megah to SS2 and vice versa.
* Resulted in 350 calories burned and about 12km walked (estimated)
 
Unfortunately,  I was unable to pull 3 gym sessions this week. I will need to strive harder in order to get what I want before leaving Malaysia.
