Looking for a new hobby or a sport to hone this new year? Or tired of the usual HIIT or cardio workouts at the gym? Then you should give rock climbing a shot! I believe that this outdoor sport is becoming really popular judging by the number of rock climbing enthusiasts who gathered at Climb Central to scale up the wall. Scale to a greater height at Climb Central Climb Central is an indoor sport climbing facility which is located at Kallang Wave Mall. It has the tallest indoor rock face in Singapore!

How We Complete Spartan Stadion Race without Training
Truth be told, we did complete the race – with some help. Both of us went for the last open race slot at 11.45am on that race day. Since it was an open race, the Spartan officials at each booth were quite lenient to us. Without their encouragement and push, I don’t think the two of us could make it. What is Spartan Stadion race? How is it different from other races? Spartan Race is an obstacle race course where fire, mud, water and barbed wire are involved. So basically this race trains you to be physically tough and strong like a ‘spartan’ – the so-called warriors of Sparta, an…

Rediscovering Singapore on a Kayak!
Singapore may be a really small city but there are thousand and one things you can do here. This includes kayaking and canoeing at Marina Bay waters. With increasing urbanization, our leisure activities seem to narrow to the usual few – shopping, dining and gaming. We may not have natural resources but we have our natural water bodies like rivers and reservoirs which opens up to a revenue of water recreational activities like canoeing and kayaking. Water Sports Centre With that, it has brought us here at the Water Sports Centre in Singapore Sports Hub. Prior to this, I had no idea that you can rent kayaks, canoes or pedal…

My First Street Calisthenics Class
It’s been quite a while since I’ve visited my blog and entered into this blogging mode. It has also been quite a while ever since I last put on my gym wear and attend a fitness class. I used to have so much energy to wake up early on weekends and hit the gym almost every other day, but now, I get tired very easily and hardly hit the gym. Now, I am pretty much a stay-home person. I’m trying to get back on track and attending a new fitness class sound like a pretty good idea. My First Street Calisthenics Class I had my first Street Calisthenics class with Start…

Getting Fitter and Healthier in 2018!
It’s been quite a while since I have done the BodyBoss workout using their Ultimate Body Fitness Guide which is a 12-Week Step-By-Step Fitness Program that includes fun and challenging high-intensity workouts. After trying out for a month or so, I got caught up with work. (You can read my previous post here.) At the same time, I also joined my partner to try out the latest fitness classes just to switch things up. Since then, I’ve been doing some running and occasional circuits. I’ve wanted to start BodyBoss all over again, and I guess it made easier for me to start the ball rolling as they have just released a Superfood Nutrition…
