Outdoor fitness workout hill climbing
Tweet I am on a hill top having a picnic breakfast with my family. Hill climbing popular family activity. The winding path from the base of the hill is wide and paved. Parents bring preschool kids up the path for some exercise. The walk up the hill early in the morning was lovely. The sun’s [...]
Bollywood Dancing
Tweet Had my first bollywood dance class and learnt how to really shake my booty. It was fun actually. The large part of the session was in learning the hand, shoulder and arm movements,which were confusing at first but fun and elegant once we caught on.

Sweating it out through dance
Tweet Seriously need to sweat it out. To go for the burn. Dance is a fun way to do it. My Bellydance friends recommend zumba to shed those kilos. I did sign up for classes but because of my crazy work schedule, I only made it to 2 classes in the entire course. It was [...]

Scaling the vertical kampong

Soccer, playing catch and running around the kampong visiting friends in the area was the norm. Everyone knew everyone else in the kampong. Neighbours were neighbourly. Now, most Singaporeans live in HDB flats. Doors [...]
Hiking up the tallest hill
Tweet Working out alone can get boring. Why not rope in your family. All can get in shape together. Where I live, there aren’t any mountains to climb.
