This is part of a series of WODs (workout of the day) that I have been receiving from a WhatsApp fitness group I joined to help me keep active during MCO. I’m keeping a record of the workouts here so I can keep a record of how I’m doing. You can find the rest ofContinue reading “WOD: Core/Upper Body”

Over-Training, Rest, and the Immune Response
Over the last few weeks, my mind has been swinging backward and forwards between my training plans and the Spartan Trifecta Weekend that I’ve signed up for at the end of June. The fear that I won’t be ready by June keeps returning despite my efforts to keep it under control. I tell myself toContinue reading “Over-Training, Rest, and the Immune Response”
2020 MWM 21KM Run
When the Malaysian Women’s Marathon Race was cancelled, everyone was disappointed. Thankfully, our running leader LK decided that she would not be thwarted from running. She organised our own private MWM Run. In some ways, it was even more nerve-wracking for me because I was joining the fast team to do 21km. I wasn’t sureContinue reading “2020 MWM 21KM Run”
Hiking Trails: Sri Bintang
It’s been a while since the Jungle Babes have tried a new trail. Partly because we needed a trail around Desa Park City, partly because everyone was getting a bit bored of Bukit Gasing, and maybe because I was feeling brave enough to lead the Babes blindly into a new trail, we decided to tryContinue reading “Hiking Trails: Sri Bintang”
Boxing Injuries: Knuckle Pain and Forearm Muscle Aches
About a week ago, I bruised my right middle knuckle during boxing. It felt sore when I punched, but it was nothing I couldn’t bear. I continued boxing until it started to interfere with my punches. I tried to punch “lightly” but I would occasionally connect badly with the bag and feel a shooting painContinue reading “Boxing Injuries: Knuckle Pain and Forearm Muscle Aches”
Not R.I.C.E, But M.O.V.E.!
A friend injured her wrist recently and I immediately quoted, “R.I.C.E.” It was what I was taught – years and years ago, I might add. I’m afraid that I’ve never looked it up since. Thankfully, it was a comment I made on a group chat and someone else who was up to date, corrected me.Continue reading “Not R.I.C.E, But M.O.V.E.!”
Viper Challenge Classic at Sepang
One year after the Viper Challenge in Cyberjaya, Team GISKL were back at it at the Viper Challenge Classic Category in Sepang. The distance was 20 km and the obstacle count was at 25. The Terrain Well, it’s Sepang – the place where they race cars. How bad can the incline possibly be? Besides, afterContinue reading “Viper Challenge Classic at Sepang”

If you’re interested to read about my journey, the first two parts are here: My Weight Loss Journey The One Year Review Losing weight was never my intention when I started this fitness journey.

Artificial Sweeteners Increase Appetite
I grew up in Australia. Like most girls (anywhere really), I went through a very body-conscious period in my life. I was hyper-aware of the food I consumed, and yes, I calorie counted to control the intake as well. One of the things I also tried – as a means of managing calories – wasContinue reading “Artificial Sweeteners Increase Appetite”
