Image Consultation Course Singapore
Do you know that your image greatly affects your reputation? When people first see you, they will look at your outfit first, followed by your posture and lastly, they will look at your behaviour. Are you wearing executive wear with sneakers? Wearing a long dress with slippers? These are a big “NO NO” to dress when going out especially when wearing formal clothing. Sure you may feel comfortable, but the image you give to others around you is not a positive one as it shows as if you are not put together and your outfit looks all over the place. …
Health And Fitness Talk For Edgefield Secondary School
I always believe being able to share my knowledge with others is a blessing. And being able to multiply that many times and share with 320 students is a huge blessing. This was what awaited me at Edgefield Secondary School this morning. I was invited to the school to talk to the Secondary 1 students on health and fitness. Walking into the school hall and being introduced on stage in front of a big group felt like a far-fetched dream years ago. After all, wasn’t I the shy, introverted, pock-marked face hermit? Fast forward to today and I have shed …
Stress Management Talk For Kodak Singapore
Stress comes in many forms and affects all of us differently. For some of us, stress could be because of an internal trigger. Internal triggers could range from a personal desire to want to get promoted, a quarrel with your loved one or the potential outcome of the yearly staff appraisal. For others, stress could be because of an external trigger. These could come in the guise of your boss arrowing you yet another big project, the tight deadline ahead or the banks hounding you to pay your credit card bills. Whatever your trigger is, it is important to identify …
Toa Payoh Clubfitt Gym: Taking A New Look At An Old Friend
After two months of renovation, Toa Payoh Clubfitt Gym finally opens its doors again to the public. It was a pleasant surprise as it was not scheduled to reopen till 1 Aug 09. So when a client wanted to train there, I was more than happy. We were going to check out the new gym! It used to be our training base before the renovation. Our verdict? Nothing much has changed. Change, if any, is purely cosmetic in nature. We saw a fresh coat of paint, new carpets and brighter lights. Everything else remains the same. No need additions of …
My Healthy Meal: Organic Brown Rice Lunch
I made a new important discovery today. And I know I am still savoring every moment of this find. Tucked away in a rather nondescript part of Orchard Road is a mixed vegetable rice that sells organic brown rice. No more plain boring nutrition-less white rice for me after gym now. To most people, it’s just the colour of the rice – white versus brown. But the difference lies beyond the colour itself! A whole grain of rice has different layers. Only the other most layer, the hull, is removed to produce what we call brown rice. This process is …
My Healthy Meal: Chicken Breast Kway Teow Soup Lunch
I always patronise the Redhill Hawker Centre after training on Saturday afternoons for my lunch. It has become a weekly ritual that the couple selling chicken rice can spot me coming from a distance away. Without having to mention or order anything, they will know what I will be ordering. Yes, it’s always kway teow soup (果条汤 or guo tiao soup) with chicken breast meat and lots of vegetables. All this for only $3.50! And as I’m a regular, I do detect some extra chicken breast meat and heaps of vegetables (there’s more at the bottom of the bowl!) Even …
Fitness Training Tips From Action Superhero Thor
Ok, admit it. We all love superheros because not only are they blessed with supernatural powers, they also often have drool worthy bodies. So very often, the question we ask ourselves after watching the movie is did the superhero always looked this part? And we know 9 out of 10 times, the answer is no. Just like all of us mere mortals, the superheroes we see on the big screen did go through a body transformation. I watched the action movie Thor recently and much as I enjoyed the movie, my lingering thoughts were on the process behind Chris Hemsworth’s …
Fitness Trainer Injured Highlights Importance Of Gym Safety
Almost one month has passed and the local fitness world is still abuzz with much disbelief. How could such a freak incident happen? The odds were like one in a million. The headlines scream “Fitness Trainer’s Jaw Shattered By 200kg Weights”. Naturally, with such a sensational headline, one would be tempted to read on, right? A seasoned personal trainer with eight years of experience under his belt, Jonathan was doing leg presses in the gym. Fate has it that when he was about to get off the machine, the weights were believed to have slipped off the locks, shattering his …
New Weights At Clubfitt Gyms
If you’ve always thought the public gyms were the poorer cousins of the private gyms, perhaps it’s time to rethink that again. Situated conveniently around the island, the 15 (and soon more to come I believe) Clubfitt gyms have been slowly, but surely undergoing a renewal of sorts of its own. Imagine our pleasant surprise today at Toa Payoh Clubfitt Gym when both my client and myself saw gleaming, new weights. Like a kid finding new candy bars in the store, it was indeed a welcome sight. The new barbell weights on the rack The new rubberised dumbells In a …
