Exercise...exercise....workout!! This activity has been occupying my time for a long time that I can't remember how long, but only for the last three years, I did it consistently. Typically, for the last thre years, I almost workout for 5 days a week which includes all various activities like badminton, running and gym. I am not well-built and no six packs, but somehow I find exercise really helps me to feel good, relieved stress and makes me sleep better and feel healthier. Of course I do get sick but generally, I feel healthier. And, the best thing is after a good workout, I generally feel good and can wind down the day in good mood. On stressful days, it helps to reduce my stress and if I did a long run, say, 10KM , it actually clears my mind!
Somehow, I had a stressful evening one of the weeknights last week and I really appreciated a 30 minutes run which helps me to feel better. It was late and the gym was closing in an hour but I still check in in order to get a run and some workouts so that I can feel good.
Thus, since I always blogged on well-being, this post is to encourage everybody to exercise!! Check with your doctor first if you have a condition or never exercise at all! Start with any sports you like and I am sure you will reap the benefits!
And, btw, I had a juicy Sirloin Steak in Hot Tomato Cafe at Bedok Mall. Not a bad deal, Sirloin Steak with pasta, tomato soup and coffee for around S$15. It's wonderful!! :)
Have a great week and let's feel good!!
I have no discipline, always tell myself I want to exercise but end up not exercising maybe because I have no exercise kaki, that is why no motivation (is that an excuse?)
ReplyDeleteLibby - You can go on your own, no need to get kaki. Sometimes, having a companion may not be a good thing too as he or she may not have the mood to workout and wasted your routine.
DeleteOf course, on the other hand, it's good to have some friends to accompany you.
Last time, my sis accompanied me to the gym and I lost 5kg after running on the treadmill, after that, she no longer go le so I never go too and I gained back weight :(
DeleteWow...that's good. You should continued !!!
DeleteThat day I went Han's to have chicken chop with mushroom sauce, not bad too, but did not take a photo, costs S$12.80, the chicken chop was very tender and it comes with mushroom soup and fries, the fries was quite crispy too
ReplyDeleteerrr...Hans food so so only leh ...
DeleteHee hee, your standard very high leh :)
DeleteNot high la cos I always ate there , at NL
DeleteWhat is NL?
DeleteNational library lor
DeleteYours is not a bad deal too
ReplyDeleteOk la... I was at Hot tomato cafe , I guess you heard of it in SG.
DeleteBy the way, I like the current background in your blog, looks very refreshing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) It;s just right for my blog title.
DeleteExercise...and then eat that? Just once in a long while, I hope. I guess you eat out all the time except when you go back home to JB? That is not very good either. Maybe that is why you fall sick rather frequently.
ReplyDeleteNot really, I don't fall sick often. It;'s just that sometimes I posted it on my blog and you got the view I always get sick.. hahaha... Anyway, *touch wood* ...
DeleteLong time I no exercise jor lor.. Lastime still got do yoga.. I'm eyeing on your steak with pasta la, yummzzz.. I want 2 plates!
ReplyDeleteI also long time no exercise, but is that yoga count? Hmm, that's just once a week...
DeleteYes ,... but yoga is more for the mind though it's tough. I guess it's good to go for some physical exertion.
Deletegood that you have developed a passion in exercise!! it's indeed a good activity to help you wind down from your stressful job as well as to lead a healthier lifestyle.. :)
ReplyDeleteSK - I can't stop exercising as it helps me to feel good. It is like reboot my system after a long day!
Deleteand it's great that you are still hanging on.. I've seen many who joined the gym but quit after a year giving all kinds of excuses.. guess they are just trying to jump onto the bandwagon but never persist, like many now go to running but just for the sake of joining the fun to collect finisher tees and the medals.. it's not the right spirit huh?? :)
ReplyDeleteOh... sometimes I can get tired of it too but I feel lousy if I don't do it. So, it's good that I depended on exercise to improve my mood!
Deletewow!!! sirloin steak for dinner!! that was indeed one big slab of protein supplement after your workout!! and I am sure you were even happier after the meal?? hehehe~~ :)
ReplyDeleteYeah ... to grow the muscles...muahahaha
DeleteI do not know about you, for me, if do not workout, i feel uncomfortable..
ReplyDeletesame same!! I am sure the zumba workout makes you feel good. Keep it up!
DeleteYes, definitely good to start exercising.
ReplyDeleteStart slow and build up. :)
Yes, and I plan to do at least one FM!
DeleteI agree, exercise is good for mind and body.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely good !!
DeleteThe guilty feeling strikes me again, i took a week break from my usual exercise routine due to haze... i can only jog outdoor, didn't join any gym :(
ReplyDeleteI used to be like that too! Once, I keep giving myself excuse not to exercise. But once you got the hang out of it, whether rain or shine, you won't stop. Go to a gym , at least an alternative to outdoor running.
Deleteportion not very big wor....full enough ka?
ReplyDeleteI love working out too but the only exercise I can afford to have right now is chasing after Ayden >_<
ReplyDeleteWow! After all the hard work, this is a nice treat.
ReplyDeleteYup. I know. I know. I also neex to get my butt up and do some exercises.
You are always cute and funny! You lari banyak and makan kuat. They come together and happy ending.
ReplyDeleteYeah I do believe that exercise helps with stress and depression.
ReplyDeleteI just heard from a friend who says it helps with depression too and I'm inclined to do it seriously e.g. daily, an intense workout you can do from home. All the best!
