“No time” Exercise! (Jump Rope / Skipping)
No time!
No stock!
No go!
We are frequently inundated with excuses. I know we all lead an extremely active, busy and constantly multi-tasking life but find exercise hard to fit into our jam-packed schedules. But it has to start with the desire to transform, the commitment to be fit and with that desire you would carve out the time.
Anyway, this post is not about how to manage your time. Its about the type of exercises you can do when strapped for time. Being a new mother or a busy career ...

The Spirit of Super Spartan
Super Spartan is an obstacle race of 13km run with 30+ obstacles. This year, I led a team of 6 - Sam, Lisa, Anna, Nicolas and Skye.
The race started in a open field where most of the harder obstacles were held. And after, it was mostly trail runs, up and down slippery slopes, grass and dirt path and more obstacles. One of the starting obstacle was carrying a 30kg steel ball. That was tough. We teamed up to take this on. The tyre pull and push was hard work too. I also had my team member ...
Spartan Workout Part 6: Team Training
Happy Labour Day and Happy Sunday!
In line with appreciation day for all those who has worked hard, I would like a shoutout to my Spartan Super Fit and Fab team. Each one of them made time today to come and train together, and we had a killer routine, mind you. I am so proud of them, most of us in the 40 - 55 age group but physically fit and strong, leading a demanding lifestyle and yet they made time to meet this Sunday morning as a commitment to our group. I would like to appreciate each one ...
Spartan 45 mins Workout Part 1: Aroo, Fit & Fab Spartan!
The race is looming in 2 weeks time. Need to get my arse in gear quickly.
Last week, I got my Fit and Fab team together for sweaty hot session at the Evan's Track, the temperature's about 36 degrees but it felt like 42 degrees in this heatwave.
We managed it in about 40 minutes, though some felt a bit dizzy and nausea in the heat, so a longer recovery for them between sets.
Our routine:
800m run, 10 x Burpees
800m run, 20 x Mountain Climbers
800m run, 10 x Tuck Jumps
800m run, ...
Being on Top Turns Me On… Wilson Trail Stage 1
If you, like me love being in control and curating the end goals of your desires then maybe you should read on :) Mountain or hills are often viewed as phallic symbols, of great strength and therefore hard to conquer. So the feeling of having conquered one, one step at a time, huffing and panting but always focusing on the end goal is worth climbing to the peak elated and orgasmic. Enjoying the views from atop is always a reward and knowing you have worked your calves, thighs and butt ...
How I Got My Sexy Back…
It's easy to fall into a routine. It's easy to remain where you are today. Being a mum doesn't mean you stopped living for yourself. Being a mum doesn't mean you have to live in your children's shadows. Being a mum doesn't mean you are just somebody's wife.
There was a phase in my life where I lived in a cocoon, stopped being aware of the latest blockbusters or top 100 billboard charts. I don't know what's the latest fashion trends nor cared about the latest world news. For 3 years, I threw ...
Riding Makes my Crotch Hurts – Truth or False
The answer is obvious. For any beginner, any kind of riding whether its the bike type or the horse type or anything attempted for the virginal time would hurt. But please don't give up, as pleasure comes with experience :)
There are a few reasons why most first time bikers experience crotch pain after a cycling workout. I have provided these tips to many beginners and most claimed they have helped:
Do not hug your bum on the saddle. If you have the right cycling position your bum is ...
REVIEW: Les Mills RPM 70 – does it make me wet and wanting?
Let me just say this, my maximum heart rate when I exited the class was at 161. That's the highest I have achieved in the last 2 months of various workouts. Each track works you up right from the start and there was hardly any recovery. So it wasn't unusual to see your heart rate spiking and finally peaked at 161.
This time, Glen Ostergaard has changed the track sequences and added more cardio and extended interval routines. We also have sprint standing. There was very little recovery from ...
Beginner Kettleball Routine
“The reason for the surge in kettlebell training is that it gets back to basic training that requires functional, whole body fitness… a great way to get a whole body workout in arelatively short period of time.” The American Council on Exercise (ACE)
I love it too. Its fun and it works with different movements - a good change from my Les Mills BodyPump class in the gym.
The form is very important, so if you are attempting it for the first time, I suggest you consult with a Kettleb...
