Walking Fun - Pandan Rerservoir

Date:  Apr 23, 2015

To be healthier, every morning, you should do some exercise.

For me, I either do cycling for 20KM or do walking.

Recently I found a great place to walk.

Pandan Reservoir.

Yeap!  It is a big pool of water and you just walk one round of it.

The sun looks peaceful.

That day, when I first walk on this route, I started my journey at the beginning here.  I looks like a decent walk.

After walking for 2KM and everything start to turn “small”.  There is no turning back now.  You got to explore further to see what’s out there.

The entire journey is this kind of sandy beach road.

Very long stretch of road.  Peaceful.  It seems a lot of people does not know about this route like that.  This is the second time I am on this route, but I only see less than half a dozen people in the morning.

Spotted a plant that I have never seen before.

There seems to be a boat rowing club here.  The people are training how to row a boat.

They kept their boat on this side, at their club house here.

Another few KM left and I am done.

One whole round is 6KM.  From here to my home is 2.5KM one trip.  So, everyday I will walk about 11-13KM like that.  Great exercise.

Of course, don’t forget to eat healthy too.

My Trek Bike That Has Run 5000KM

Date:  July 30, 2014

This is my bike.

I am not a serious bike fan that ride bike at night with friends.  Those people own a road bike can cycle 40-80km per day.

I am a casual bike rider.

I ride bike for exercise.

I didn’t want to run, because I already can feel my left knee cap is not feeling click if I run too much.  

Riding bike is just like swimming, it has low impact to your knees.

So, if I am in Singapore, and I can wake up early, and I don’t need to send my kids to school, usually, I will bike.

This is where I bike.

From my Park West condo, I ride along the landed property Faber Walk area to reach the Ulu Pandan canal there.  Then, I cycle to Commonwealth Ave along M1 building.  Then, ride back to Clementi Road.  And then, go back to the Commonwealth Ave.  Then, across AYE to the other side of the AYE towards Pandan Loop area.  And then ride back to Commonwealth Ave.  And then, Ride to Clementi Ave.   And then, ride back to Park West.  

Like that, back and forth 2 times, it will clocked at least 20KM with at least 1 hour non-stop work out.

By the way, I am using Runkeeper to keep track of all my exercises, such as cycling, walking, running, swimming.

It is a great tools.  It keep a tap of how much exercise you have done.

Each exercise, it tells you how long, what its he average speed, how far, and how much calories.

After each exercise, it will auto post a message to my social circle.

Sometimes, if for a few days I didn’t bike, some of my friends will say “Hey, how come I didn’t see you cycling in the morning?"

Then, you defence a bit and next day, you go to cycle again.

It actually tells you how well you are doing in each KM.  So that you can analyse at which point you actually feels tired.  Otherwise you will be consistent most of the time.

It even tells you that when you are cycling over a hill with elevation, your speed drops because of that.

Of course, virtually, you are doing exercise with your friends.  You can compare yourself with your friends, are you working out? 

But, the best statistics of all is this.

From Sep 2010 when I started using Runkeeper, that is about when I own this bicycle.

I have done 420 activities.

I have cycle about 5583KM so far.

So how far is 5583KM?

That’s far.

I am proud of myself.

For utilising the bicycle and clock it so long distance.  Yeah!

I think those 3 bikes below, don’t even clock a combine 500KM.  Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa

And don’t forget, after every exercise, you must eat well.

When you do exercise, your body will burn the fat and that is the time bad radicals will come out releasing from your body.

So, you will need a strong defence systems to counter off these bad radicals.  Otherwise, you will easily get sick.

Before the ride, I take one breakfast.

After the ride, I take my second breakfast.

Health: Swing Hand Exercise (Qi-Gong)

Date:  Feb 13, 2014

Why is this useful to me?

1)  When my wife went to business trip, I almost have no chance of doing long exercise.

2)  When there is haze, it is not pleasant to do outdoor jogging or cycling.

3)  After you eaten your lunch or dinner, you can do this exercise which will not affect your digestion.  i.e. cannot jump after meal.

4)  I need to build muscles to burn my fat.  I am overweight.  Muscle is the best weapon to burn the excess fat.

How to do it?

1)  Every day, at least 1000 times.  I guess.  About 20-25min,

2)  Every 5 swing, bend your knee a bit.

3)  Both hand swing to the front and naturally swing to the back.

4)  You can do this any time, any where.

I did it once just now.  Seems ok.  Because sweat a little.  Let’s do it regularly and see what impact to health.

To be more healthy, remember, organic food intake, less acidic food.

Good Luck!
