Sheylara: Quick question. Is laughing during resistance training bad? I mean, like, could people hurt themselves?
Eric Goh: Only if you laugh at your trainer. If both trainer and client laugh, no problem.
Sheylara: What…
Eric Goh: Because if you laugh at your trainer, angry trainer will train you harder.
Sheylara: …
Why, oh why, oh why???????????!!!!

For the record, Eric eventually gave me the correct answer.
It’s not advisable to laugh during weight training because it makes you stop breathing regularly and raises your blood pressure.
But it’s good to laugh as a workout because laughing works the abs.
Eric has been working my abs a lot because he’s a funny sort of fellow. And he makes me laugh while I’m working on my abs, which makes them cramp up so much that I want to crawl into the locker room and hide in the sauna.
Well, not really.
Laughing is fun and I’m enjoying my workouts despite having a sadistic trainer.
I’m laughing my way to sexy abs.
Random irrelevant photo.

Your trainer is very witty. Can really make you -_-” sometimes.
donald: Er… what’s so scary about the first pic?
tiger4: Huh? What sometimes? He makes me -_-” twice a week!

@Sheylara: “Resistance training” sounds like some rebel combat program…
Hahaha… resistance is futile!
@Sheylara: Yes, I know. Why do you think I drop by your blog every so often…:P
why do you look 14 in your second picture?
No I don’t. O_o
Your second picture… if you didn’t smile or laugh, it doesn’t look like you… either that, or i’ve never seen you with a mouth that small :o
Haha. Angles, lighting and a shaky hand (off-focus) make different looks. :P
Not that great of a difference bah, seriously it’s entirely ‘different’!
Well, good lah. People like to complain I always look the same in my photos… so here’s one for them. Hehe.
@Sheylara: I wanna sign up at the same gym as you so that I can work out my abs by laughing at you while you are being “tortured” by Eric. Hohohohoho
