Food & Fitness

Not wanting my effort to go down the drain, I kept myself busy checking out sites online to find out and understand more about food and fitness.

There's so much interesting information you can find...about calories, exercise, diet programme, gyms equipment and even healthy recipes and many more. Well, after reading about food calories, I became more cautious of what I eat for my meals. In fact, there are so many articles debating what is the best to lose weight. Fitness...cardio vs strength. Diet..low-carb vs low-fat.

I'm sure you've heard or read about Oprah Winfrey, one the most successful female talk show host....she's the role model that I look up to. Even 'people' telling her not to lose weight cos she might lose her personality but then she knew she 'wants to be healthy'. She engaged a personal trainer, Bob Greene to customize a food and fitness plan for her and she succeeded in getting the extra pounds disappear. I salute her perseverence !

Free 'gym' ?

I guess I'm not the only one who is desperately trying to lose some flabs. My visits to parks and gyms or stadiums made me realised that a lot of people out there are very conscious about their health. Well, regardless of their age or race...it's nothing new to see mothers' brisk walking and pushing stroller at the same time, youngsters jogging with mp3 plucked to their ears, aunties and uncles mastering their taichi steps and many more scenes which I believe can make you smile.

Recently, I discovered that there is 'lookalike gym' built near my neighbourhood park. Most of the exercise stuff are similar to the ones at the gym. I tried and tested them and my comment...thumbs up!
