I’m born for the gym! Adidas Adipure 360 kicks off (literally!) at Pavilion KL

December 27, 2012 by thejessicat

     

 

 

Being a fitness/sports enthusiast & a gym junkie, I do own several pairs of running, hiking, sports & gym shoes which I often wear for the different workouts I do.

More often than not, our feet is the most neglected part of our body; which is why I am a firm believer of investing in the best pair of workout shoes so as to give them the comfort they (and we!) deserve.  


Stay back!

I have the kick-ass power of Adidas' new adiPure 360 on my feet 

 

This multi-purpose & super-bendable pair of shoes is something every fellow gym bug would love to own

Adidas threw several roadshows around Klang Valley & East Malaysia to celebrate its launch!

 

When Adidas first launched it's brand new adiPure 360 training shoe,

I was invited to attend their official launch held at the main concourse of Pavilion KL.

 

This was what I was wore that afternoon.

I decided to come decked in my favourite gym-wear as I was also heading to the gym right after.

 

Jessicat wears : Top -to-toe by Adidas

Clearly, I'm an Adidias fan, eh? ;)

 

I was excited to see what Adidas has in store for us with the launch of their new footwear range.

Surely it was going to be something that all gym enthusiasts would kill for! 

 

Maggy and I. We both love working out real hard & nasty 

 

The afternoon kicked-off when the team from the Adidas management shared with us some very detailed product knowledge on conceptualizing the technology for the shoes, crafting of it and all the way up to the results.

It was set to give rise to an amazing user experience when gym junkies (like me!) put them on during our workouts. 

     

She explained to us more about the adiPure 360 design-wise

 

While he explained more about the dynamics and the support it gives our feet

 

You know how most sports have footwear designed specially for the sport itself, right?

Basketballers wear basketball shoes, runners have their running spiked shoes, hikers have their hiking boots

 

Well, Adidas' new adiPure 360 is designed primarily for gym usage!

 

Two of my favorite colours from the adiPure 360 range!

 

These shoes uses super light and flexible materials; featuring the latest in technology to support multi-directional movements, like lunges, squats, leg curls, aerobics and so on. 

 

Fitness & wellness instructor Yu Jin sharing how this shoe works best for gym workouts

 

The anatomically designed shoe provides comfort and support throughout every move we bust in the gym.

adiPure 360 allows our feet to move as nature intended – almost as if barefoot! – but still giving our feet the protection it needs during our strenuous workouts.

 

 

This allows us to get the most out of our workouts by helping us in natural strength building, agility and balance. Muscles work harder that way! 

 

They now have a Men's version & a women's version too!


 

Combat fighters, dancers and gym instructors were present during the event to showcase the dynamics of the adipure 360 training shoes on stage!

They performed an energetic workout demo which included Yoga,a Body Combat and MTV Dance.

 

 

You can watch the action right here :

OPPP OPPP OPPP!!

 

Clearly, the design and overall flexibility of the adiPure 360 helps in promoting unrestricted movement and harnesses the body's mechanics, also aiming to strengthen the muscles in the feet, toes, ankles and lower legs.

 

   The Adidas team with their bright-coloured Adidias gym attire and of course, the adiPure 360

 

I love how their feet come together in such a haphazard manner, uniting all the colours of the adiPure360 into a wonderful image of teamwork.

They were such an active and lively bunch too! 

 

When it was lunchtime, Adidas Malaysia gave us all a lovely treat at Dome's Cafe directly adjacent to the main concourse. 

 

My Spicy Prawn Aglio Olio

 

Some friends I bumped into that afternoon! 

 

With some more fellow fitness enthusiastic friends at the event!

 

Looks some lovely photos with Amber as well

 

Maggy, Yu Jin and I

 

They've even had an interactive game for us to play to test out the adiPure 360! :D

 

I was supposed to step on each correct answer (something like Dance Dance Revolution!)

 

Haha! So much fun :D

 

Prior to wearing these amazing pair of training shoes, I always fear my sports shoes would give way at the part (it has already started to fray!) where it is bent to the maximum when I do my warm-ups, lunges, interval hill climbing and squats. :/

   

Finally, a shoe that is born for the gym. I can do all my workouts in peace

 

I went directly to the gym with my new gym shoes and put it on immediately.

Was so pleased with it! My kickbacks, lunges, squats, jumping jacks, burpees, core planks, leg curls, crunches and even running on the treadmill was a breeze like never before! :D

 

Putting my new adiPure 360 to test… it sure was worth it!

 

I'm this much closer to my goals. Come on.. you can do this, Jess! ;)

 

 

For once, I felt like I wasn't wearing a thing! 

The adiPure 360 was light and unobstructing, yet gives me a very good grip when I lift weights or run on the treadmill.

It felt so soft when my toes rubbed against the interior of the shoe and its material hugged my feet like second skin. 

 

 

Loving my brand new adiPure 360 gym shoes 

 

Thanks Adidias! :D

You've come up with such a brilliant idea! So glad the adiPure 360 was designed with the gym in mind – it is music to the ears of my fellow gym rats and I! :D

 

It was so snug and flexible, adapting to all my movements to the maximum 

 

You can get yours at RM350 from all Adidias stores.
They were so quick, I checked it out on the day itself..it was already launched & ready for sale!

The Sunday Times V : Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

September 23, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

Hellooooo dear readers! How's your week been so far?

7 days of sweat and toil at your workplace? Or 7 days of hard-pressed studying & assignments?

 

Whatever it is, hope you guys tackled it with a big wide smile!

This week has been pretty intense for me; I've had back-to-back trainings everyday to prepare me physically and mentally for my very first marathon!

 

 

Did my routine of strength, endurance and high intensity interval running at Celebrity Fitness

 

The ground WILL tremor beneath your strength, people! So push your boundaries and work that body!

 

A good friend of mine, Ken, shared this quote with me and I took an instant liking to it!

Decided to make it my motto of the week

 

On lazy days or rainy days (LOL excuses) I'd just go to the gym at my condominium pool!

 

Since I'm back in Penang for the weekend, I dragged mom & kakak to Bukit Dumbar to accompany me

And obviously to get them up and going too! No life is sedentary with me around :D:D

Ran 7KM in 45 minutes. I wonder how long tomorrow's session will take?

 

Got the latest Adipure 360 Born for the Gym sports sneakers!

Thanks Adidas Malaysia for these lovely pair of versatile gym shoes 

 

Decked in Adidas from top to toe on the day of their official launch party! 

(Full blogpost coming soon!)

 

Found this on Tumblr and couldn't agree more :)

 

Outfit of the day. Feeling a tad sporty one afternoon!

 

Anyway, apart from my vigorous trainings and running practices, I've been up to heaps of other stuff.

I gotta eat, too! I can now afford to eat like a starving pig – believe me, I have a voracious appetite! – because I constantly burn almost 500 calories everytime I work out. So, no worries! 

 

One I'd always recommend, time and time again –

The Dragon Roll from Sushi Zanmai is my absolute fave. Made with tempura prawns, avocado & roe!

 

 

Made a healthy dinner of Chicken & Vegetable Stew! 

All the protein & fibre I need to get me going

 

 

My current favorite morning bites which always gets me on the move!

A hot cuppa coffee + cornflakes with all natural yoghurt & a dollop of honey

 

 

Caught up with my Greek friend Jason as he is transiting/visiting KL before he goes back to Australia!

Why not bring the two Greek boys out for dinner + shisha at Herris @ Damansara Perdana

 

Had a great time catching up with Jason. Talked about everything and anything under the sun!

When we were eating, a filming crew shot footages of us eating, for a local program called 'Jalan-jalan Cari Makan'. So you might see me on TV when its aired LOL! 

 

 

Sent my car for a thorough carwash, polish & vacuum (finally!) at the neighbourhood petrol station

Now, even a single piece of litter in my car gets me in a frenzy. OCD time haha

 

Amazing how these petrol station/carwash boys only charge 4 bucks per car wash and an additional 2 bucks for interior vacuuming. That's real cheap, seriously. I know it's not rocket science to wash a car, but surely it isn't only worth 4 bucks?

They do a pretty good job too though!

 

Not going to tell you which petrol station, because the queue is long enough hahahahaha!

Don't wanna recommend and have to wait even longer ;(;( 

(But if you really, really wanna know you can always ask me la)

 

I can't wait to watch Hotel Transylvania!

Had always been a fan of freaky cartoons & Tim Burton-ish kinda movies

 

 

Found this and got so enamoured by the progress humankind has made over the years!

 

 

The shopaholic in me strikes again! Love this rugged pair of brass-buckled leather heels from Pedro. 

I know I can always trust Pedro for their exquisite quality of shoes 

 

As crazy as I am over high-heels (I have 35 pairs altogether, no, I cannot believe myself either LOL!), my love for pumped-up kicks & sneakers alike knows no bounds. 

I turn to the casual, street-style when I feel like kicking back on lazy afternoons!

 

My new pair of Playboy high-top sneakers!

Major, major love for them. It's studded and the Playboy Bunny has diamante blings for its eyes 

 

And no, just so you know, I'm not a crazy shoe lady 

I'm just a caterpillar with too many feet, hence needing many, many shoes 

 

 

Updated my iPhone software the all-new iOS6! Go update yours too!

It's heaps smoother & I can't stop listening to all the new podcasts I've downloaded 

 

Oooh I'm back in Penang for the weekend!

It's daddy's birthday so yes, here I am back at home to celebrate with the family.

 

Happy 52nd Birthday, daddy-o! 

 

Mom ordered giant freshly baked crabs during the birthday dinner!

I recommend Teluk Kumbar Seafood place for amazingly fresh & quality seafood 

 

Randomly, I just noticed how "unskilled" I am in eating crabs – that's the only reason why I don't eat crabs often! I will often end up wasting a good crab all because I'm dreadful at peeling the crab or knowing just where all the hidden meat are. :/

Watching mom's sleight of hand while cracking, breaking and twisting out the crab meat from the crab made my jaw drop. I guess she's a more pro seafood person than I am hahaha!

 

Thanks boyfieKon for sending me a piccie of babyChivas whilst I'm away!

Was beginning to miss my mischievous little ball of fluff

 

That's all for this week! Will be back in KL on Tuesday for a meeting and to continue the rest of my week.

Have a wonderful seven days ahead. Don't forget to ALWAYS stay fit & eat healthy too!

 

That being said, remember to drink 7 litres of water everyday

Listen to your body, it is powerful 

 

Much love,

Jessicat
