I’ve been listening to a number do menopause podcasts lately and “rucking” has been mentioned a few times. Rucking is not a new idea. It’s just a fancy term for walking with a weighted rucksack – something we’ve all done if we’ve been hiking before. Rucking has its roots from military training workouts and itContinue reading “Much Ado About Rucking”

Easier Workouts and Rest Days?
Adopting more easier workouts and incorporating rest days on a regular basis has been something I’ve been thinking about for a while. I know, I know… it feels almost blasphemous to be talking about easing off and taking steps back but these days (well, since last year actually), I find myself experiencing mysterious body painsContinue reading “Easier Workouts and Rest Days?”
Cardio Workouts for Perimenopausal Women
I’ve been following Dr Stacy Sims ever since I read her article on “not Zone 2 Training for women”. Today, I saw a post on how much cardio perimenopausal women should be doing which prompted me to re-examine my workout schedule. So here’s the deal… I should do: SIT or HIIT 2-3 times a weekContinue reading “Cardio Workouts for Perimenopausal Women”

CMCO Workouts – TACXperience
Just when I thought we had returned to routine, we’re back to CMCO again. After all my efforts to return to pre-MCO fitness, am I’m going to lose it all again? It feels like taking two steps forward, three steps back. I’ve been thinking about what I can do this time around to preserve myContinue reading “CMCO Workouts – TACXperience”
The Return to Routine
It’s been 5 weeks since the kids went back to school and I returned to my old workout routine. Despite my efforts to stay active and work out at home during MCO, CMCO, and RMCO, I felt a significant drop in fitness – especially stamina. I feel like a newbie starting back. Either that orContinue reading “The Return to Routine”
Journey Cycle – Where the Journey Begins
Journey is a place I’ve been wanting to try ever since I knew of its existence. It is the brainchild of Syed Harris Umar, a former instructor from Fly Project, whose classes I used to attend religiously. They were challenging classes but there was an energy to it that I really looked forward to. Evidently,Continue reading “Journey Cycle – Where the Journey Begins”
Workout Motivation
A few people have asked me how I stay motivated to workout nearly everyday, especially during a time like MCO. To be quite frank, I have trouble with motivation as well. There are days when I don’t feel like working out. I drag my feet, I procrastinate, and I struggle, too. So how do IContinue reading “Workout Motivation”
The Road to Progress
Since MCO started, I’ve been using Just Dance on the Nintendo Switch as part of my workouts. At first, I did it because it was one of the few things my knee could tolerate after I injured it. Even after my knee got better, I continued with it because it added variety to my workouts.Continue reading “The Road to Progress”
