Weight Loss Health Talk At Orchard Central
Don’t be surprised when you learn that the first of the two-parter series of my health talks will actually be held at the prime shopping belt of Singapore – Orchard Road! Yes, that’s right. I’m at Orchard Central today from 3 – 4pm. As part of the mall’s April 2010 Fashion Delights promotion titled ‘Couples in Spring Fashion Workshops’, all shoppers who spend a minimum of $30 in a single receipt are entitled to a free 1hr health talk conducted by myself at Basement 2. Orchard Central’s Basement 2, for those who have yet to visit, is the newly opened addition to the mall. …
Step Up And Lose Weight Now
If you’ve always hated running, rowing or any other forms of cardio exercises, do not worry. Try taking the stairs! Yes, you didn’t hear me wrongly. The flights of stairs in your office building and HDB block might just be your answer to shedding those extra kilos. We are very fortunate to be living in Singapore. Besides being able to take the stairs up our HDB or condo block, we can also take the stairs whereever we can – think MRT stations, office stairs, shopping malls etc. The possibilities are endless. The best thing about stair-climbing is that you can …
Personal Training Is No Stroll In The Park
This may sound cliche but it works everytime I share it. “If you think personal training is a stroll in the park, think again”. This is my favourite phrase of late. Besides commitment from both client and trainer, personal training also demands a lot of determination from the client. It is definitely not an hour of chit-chat time where you pour out all your sob stories, latest problems or complaints about colleagues or bosses to me. Have you ever wondered why there are some people who work out at the gym for years and still remain scrawny or chubby? That’s …
Do Your Cardio Run
It’s not uncommon for friends to lament that they run because they have to, not because they choose to. Is it really that torturous to run? After much consideration, my answer is I don’t think so. It is definitely not. Running should come as naturally to us as all our other daily activities like eating, talking, walking, sleeping and bathing. Remember how most of us started moving on uneven steps towards our parents when we were toddlers? Or even attempting to run away ahead of them when we were brought to the fun fair or playground? Yes, running is an …

Slimming Tips We Can Learn From Asian Stars
We all think that the popular movie stars and singers whom we idolise must possess some special formula or be made to go through some terrible weight loss regime just to maintain their svelte figures. Recently, I did a search of what some of our idols are doing to stay slim and pretty and guess what? The slimming tips which they use are nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, they are so ordinary that we tend to neglect them. Remember, these Asian stars are as human as all of us are. Shu Qi This former Category …
Personal Training Changes Lives
It is the worst kept secret that when we embark on something new, it’s almost always the most difficult. And that’s when some of us would feel like throwing in the towel and walk away. We tell ourselves it’s too difficult and it cannot be done. But for the rest of us who persevere and watch the weeks go by, the results really speak for themselves. Such is the case of one of my male clients. Comparing the first time when he started training and the training he just completed today (his 15th lesson), the results are just phenomenal. …
Personal Training Testimonial: The Hot Sexy Mama
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing my clients improve week after week. The feeling transcends everything as it makes me feel so blessed to be able to be encouraging them on their fitness journey. Although today’s Vesak Day, but I’m still working! In fact, I choose to work, work is also part of play for me. And what a day it turned out to be…what a transformation I’ve witnessed for myself ever since Nandini started personal training and resistance band training with me. From frumpy housewife combating post-natal weight gain to the persona and confidence of the hot, sexy mama she showed …
Food Awareness Training
Do you sometimes feel why nothing seems to change even after you have had the best workout or expended the most calories after that run? Many a times, if not always, it boils down to what you eat. Yes, that’s the truth. And for this reason itself, I always teach my clients to create healthy associations with our food. Thus is both my very own Food Awareness Training. It’s ironic how I’ve come up with an acronym like that as if you shorten it to just the alphabets, it spells FAT! Haha… Many of us eat not because we have to, but …
