I Train to Look Good and so do You!

In my last post, I asked, ‘Why are you training anyway?‘. Turns out a lot of people have a flawed answer. Just pop by a commercial gym, and you’d see many people hammering away at their activities. You’d probably come across the sight of the young adolescent male doing his 5th set of bicep curls, [...]

How to get the Maximum Benefits from Stretching

April 21, 2010
Thumbnail image for How to get the Maximum Benefits from Stretching

The topic of stretching is like flossing your teeth, everyone agrees that it’s good for you, many people don’t practice it, and if they do, they may not actually do it well. I do not claim complete knowledge of the topic of stretching, and we will see that different contexts call for a different approach [...]

Talk to a 90-Year-Old. Not just any 90-Year-Old, but a happy and fulfilled 90-Year-Old who still has that youthful sparkle in their eyes. Ask them about what they thought about life, and I’d guarantee that you’d learn a fair bit. Most of all, ask them what they did in the past that they are happy [...]

For most people, any holiday is a time to eat and be merry. Obviously, all that extra food has to go somewhere. Why is that in our interest? Because knowing that would better our understanding of how to deal with it. Indirectly, this gives the obsessive amongst us a certain peace of mind (instead of [...]

Bodyweight Strength Training: 6 Reasons That It’s NOT The Path to Your Goals

April 11, 2010

I make it very clear that I’m a big proponent of resistance training for optimal health. In particular I believe that the most effective and practical method of training is through lifting weights. However, one cannot ignore the tremendous physiques built by some athletes (especially gymnasts) solely through means of bodyweight strength training. In this [...]

You Manage What You Measure

April 8, 2010

We as humans respond to numbers, mainly because they play such a large role in our lives. Geeks would remember the recent keynote given by Steve Jobs. In that keynote, he addressed the claim that the iPad should cost less than $1000. He flashed up a figure of $999 on the screen. Then, in a [...]

That’s what the body screams at the brain every day. The brain needs to tell itself stories. It wants to live in a certain way, to eat certain foods, to partake in certain activities, etc. Unfortunately, the body doesn’t care what the brain thinks, besides, it’s proven to be wrong many a time (like when [...]

You Lucky Fool

April 6, 2010

Some people got lucky. They were born with great blood sugar control, with robust joints, with never-greying hair, with full muscle bellies, and an easy time burning fat. Some people got unlucky. They were born to a drug-addicted mother and an alcoholic father, suffering genetic dysfunctions and living under an environment which never allowed their [...]
