When I wrote my Spartan Race Report after the Sprint in Semenyih last year, I was ready to write off all the upper body obstacles in the Spartan Race. I was sure that I would never be able to do any of them. Like I said about the Monkey Bars: There was never any chanceContinue reading “Thoughts from a Spartan Worrier”

Come Join the Cirque
This post is a little overdue, but better late than never. In the last quarter of 2018, a new workout gym, called Cirque, opened in our territory. Naturally, we had to go check it out… Cirque is a 50 minute circuit workout that incorporates HIIT/burst training and functional training. Depending on the class you choose,Continue reading “Come Join the Cirque”
Once Upon a Time, I was a Rock Climber
Recently, I had dinner with an old friend whom I hadn’t seen in many years. I first knew her back when my sole obsession in life was rock climbing. She shared some of my stories with our common friends – friends who have never known the climber I once was. They stirred the memories thatContinue reading “Once Upon a Time, I was a Rock Climber”
Spartan Super 2019 – Semenyih
The Spartan Race feels like having a baby. During the race, I swore I’d never do it again. Afterwards, when the pain is forgotten, all I can think about is the next race. So here I am, back again, for more… …with a new partner in crime – The Warrior Princess. I had promised toContinue reading “Spartan Super 2019 – Semenyih”

I have waited with anticipation for the launch of this class and have finally beenContinue reading “FlyClimb – the New Vertical Workout in Town”
The Sensational Se7en Hits the Party Room
For Miss Awesome’s birthday, we went to The Party Room! For the “dress up” (because we’re kids who never grew up), our theme was “Jane Fonda 80’s Workout”. It was such a good choice that we even matched the decor! What do you think? Do we look the part? The Party Room The Party RoomContinue reading “The Sensational Se7en Hits the Party Room”
Viper Challenge Cyberjaya 2018
During the Spartan Sprint earlier this year, I vowed that it would be my first and last obstacle course race (OCR). Then, a couple of months back, I did the Northface Outdoor Challenge. Last weekend, I completed the Viper Challenge in Cyberjaya. Okay, I admit it, I’ve been infected with the bug. Next year, I’llContinue reading “Viper Challenge Cyberjaya 2018”
Heart Rates and Other Measures for Fitness
I’ve been tracking my heart rate during workouts for some time now and it has always troubled me how high it is when I work out. When #FMR sees my heart rate stats, he gets cross with me because he thinks I’m going to have a heart attack while working out. That’s probably because heContinue reading “Heart Rates and Other Measures for Fitness”

Training Day – Bukit Gasing Hill Climbs
According to one of the Jungle Babes, this hiking trail at Bukit Gasing was harder than the Northface Outdoor Challenge so I am going to share the route here. We did this trail a week before TNF Outdoor Challenge as part of our preparation for the distance. It was supposed to be a 10km trailContinue reading “Training Day – Bukit Gasing Hill Climbs”
