One of our very own Jungle Babes organised a Zumbathon charity event at MyTown Shopping Center in support of those fighting the battle against cancer. You’ll Never Walk Alone Just like the title of this event, we couldn’t let her walk alone, so here we were… …busting a move even when some of us didn’t haveContinue reading “Zumba Babes at a Charity Zumbathon”

Mech-Warriors in Cross-Training
After reading Spark, I decided it was high time that I took the boys’ physical training to the next level. Our focus for G1 was to improve his overall fitness for health reasons because he’s been allergic to physical exertion since he was little. For G2, I was inspired to build his physical fitness afterContinue reading “Mech-Warriors in Cross-Training”
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”
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”
Zenith Pilates @ the Verve
I was missing my yoga – couldn’t find classes at a suitable time – so I picked up pilates instead. I first tried pilates years ago when I was fresh out of Uni. My first thoughts were, “What an easy stretching class.” In the cool Aussie climate, I barely broke a sweat but I left the classContinue reading “Zenith Pilates @ the Verve”
The First 20 Minutes – Stuff You Didn’t Know About Exercising
Recently started reading a book recommended to me by a friend – The First 20 Minutes. I’ve always thought I knew a lot about health, fitness and exercise – well, more than the average Joe – but this book has been quite the eye-opener. The problem with a lot of information that we believe to beContinue reading “The First 20 Minutes – Stuff You Didn’t Know About Exercising”
Staying Active with the Apple Watch
So I’ve moved up from just tracking my workouts to tracking daily activity levels… …and as gimmicky as it sounds, I gotta say that it really does help with the motivation to stay active. The Apple Watch activity tracker lets you track three things: Red marker: “Move” calories – you can set your own target to burn “x”Continue reading “Staying Active with the Apple Watch”
Hiking – Another All-Round Sport Good for the Whole Body and Mind
When it comes to anything that I do, I have a tendency to look for the biggest bang for my buck because time is a precious commodity I do not have a lot of so I like to make the most of what I have. When it comes to working out, hiking is another great all-round workout thatContinue reading “Hiking – Another All-Round Sport Good for the Whole Body and Mind”
Wangsa Maju Walking Trail
Very near Wangsa Walk in Wangsa Maju, there is an asphalt walking trail with a very steep beginning that I have been meaning to try out for months. We finally did it and the experience was anti-climatic. So anti-climatic, in fact, that I am loathed to even call it a hike. The trail was niceContinue reading “Wangsa Maju Walking Trail”
