Merdeka Day holiday meant that the Babes would not be free to hike so I dragged the boys on a family hike to Shah Alam Community Forest. For a group of kids who don’t much like hiking, I have to say that they did pretty well. These were the stats I recorded on my Garmin:Continue reading “Merdeka Hike through Shah Alam Community Forest”

Jungle Babes in Bukit Saga
Okay so this trip report is way over due… The last time we did Bukit Saga, we went in through the old access to the trail head from Jalan Saga 28. Unfortunately, that has since been closed off to the public, but you can still do Bukit Saga if you enter from Jalan Taman Saga.Continue reading “Jungle Babes in Bukit Saga”
Rock Climbing at Club Med Cherating
I was at Club Med Cherating and it was my first time on the wall in years. There were four routes before me – three with ropes already through the anchors. The part of my brain that remembers I used to be a rock climber mentally noted that these were easy routes – the kindContinue reading “Rock Climbing at Club Med Cherating”
Activity Tracking with the Garmin Fenix 3 HR
So Chinese New Year is officially over and with it goes the feeding frenzy. It’s time to claw my way back to some semblance of fitness with the new bling on my wrist from DH who heartily encourages my obsession with stats. The Good Yes. We’ve traded the Apple Watch for the Garmin Fenix 3 HR which has someContinue reading “Activity Tracking with the Garmin Fenix 3 HR”
Lululemon – look like you work out even when you don’t
The first time I ever heard about “Lululemon“, it was described as “the exercise wear that makes you look like you work out even when you don’t”. It sounded too good to be true, but I was intrigued enough to look it up. And then I saw the price. I could buy an entire sportsContinue reading “Lululemon – look like you work out even when you don’t”
Tales from a Flycycle Neophyte
Ever a glutton for punishment, I went back for my second dose of pain at Flycycle. I even got a poser picture for the memories because I am never ever coming back… …except, of course, that I will. Didn’t I just say I’m a glutton for punishment? I was all prepared to take another beating and crawl homeContinue reading “Tales from a Flycycle Neophyte”
Flycycle at the Verve
There’s a new fitness gym at the Verve called Flycycle. It’s basically a studio devoted to spin classes with a spin (sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun). Anyway, here’s what they have to say about their classes: “…we take indoor-spinning to the next level by combining dynamic 45 minute full-body workouts, neon lighting and theContinue reading “Flycycle at the Verve”
District 21: The Sky Trail
I finally had a chance to get on the Sky Trail in District 21! Unfortunately, I didn’t bring a camera or a GoldPro, so I didn’t get any pictures of the challenges, except for this video which a friend took for me: The sky trail is one big loop of challenges with two short-cuts that allow you toContinue reading “District 21: The Sky Trail”
Jungle Janes: The Return to Bukit Tabur West
Can it be nearly 14 years ago that I last hiked Bukit Tabur West? Hiking Permit A new regulation came into effect a couple of years back and you now require a hiking permit to hike at Bukit Tabur (East and West) which you can get from the Forestry Department in Cheras: Address: Km 11, JalanContinue reading “Jungle Janes: The Return to Bukit Tabur West”
Workout Tracking with the Apple Watch
I’ve been using the Apple Watch to track my activity levels and workouts for nearly a year now and the convenience and ease of use has been great. Two weeks ago, I went to Bukit Tabur East and the Apple Watch recorded this: Only 248 calories on a 3 hour hike? Surely something is amiss? So IContinue reading “Workout Tracking with the Apple Watch”
