Since I've been in Hong Kong, my workouts just haven't been the same as it was in NY. First of all, I'm not living in a gym anymore. I can't just start working out when I have free time and then go back to work. I actually have to commute 30 minutes to get to the gym and 30 minutes back. It's literally a 3-4 hour affair when I go to the gym or yoga. Second of all, I don't have the motivation that I get when I have friends or colleagues I can socialize with when I'm working out. No, it doesn't distract me. Seeing people I know actually motivates me. And third of all, I don't have workout buddies anymore. So because of all that, I have to motivate myself differently. In any case, I'm giving myself a goal of working out 6 days a week. Yes, 6 days. 2-3 days of yoga, 1 day of strength, 1 day of endurance, 1 corrective exercises / cardio, 1 day miscellaneous, i.e. hip hop class, capoiera, boxing, etc. Anyone up for their own challenge? What's your fitness goal? Feel free to post your fitness challenge here.
This week so far: Advanced Anusara Yoga, Hot Yoga, Endurance Training, Ashtanga Yoga.
Next Challenge to work on will be eating healthily in Hong Kong. With all the meat, white rice, pastries, dan-tats, and cha-siu baos here it's definitely a challenge. This is a work in progress.

Although it doesn't address your commuting time to the workout, you should balance your routine with some outdoor activities...like beach volleyball in discovery bay.
Hi Stephen, yes I am planning on hitting the beach vball scene soon. Possibly this weekend. Can't wait to be back on the sand! Thanks for your comment!
