Here are my thoughts on why we get fat as we get older.

One major reason is that our metabolism slows down since we are no longer growing into an adult. There is nothing that we can do about this, but we can try to fight it by increasing our metabolic rate via exercise.

But, back on topic, [...]

I think I got this idea from Scoobie on Youtube where he does killer targeted workout routines full of grunting and possibly aimed at gay guys.

So my present workouts are aimed at one muscle per day. This is a great way to work out if you are lazy about working out like me, I think.

My idea [...]

This is so true. I got lazy in posting to this blog and guess what, I also got lazy about exercise so piled on a few more pounds.

I hope there are some readers still tuning into my posts.

So to make up for it I have a great tip that worked well for me to get my [...]

After a run today where I wore a jacket because it looked like rain. A combination of the 30 minute run and the excessive sweat brought my weight down to 89.9Kg!

Although my weight will easily regain a couple of kilos after drinking fluids and eating. This is a major achievement since even after hard exercise over [...]

The attention to fitness has really paid off. I do light training with dumb bells and an exercise mat. With the dumb bells I do 15 bicep curls on each arm, shoulder presses (20) and bench press (20). On the mat I do 20 stomach crunches. This is all very quick and easy to do since [...]

Oh dear, I was back to my 0.1 ton weight again after Christmas and New Year celebrations. At least, this year I don’t look so fat but a combination of bulk. I flicked through Chris Ryan’s SAS Fitness Book which is a kind of macho-man’s fitness manual. It suits me since I am this kind of [...]

Lately I had a problem with my back and 2 of my friends have similar problems. And even online I noticed more people mentioning back problems.

So my solution is Press-Ups. Would you like to join the press-up club?

To start with we are doing 1 pressup per day.

I came across an interesting blog post by a guy who is eating less to lose weight. It’s kind of obvious that you should eat less so your body burns your stored fat rather than food for energy but never the less an interesting read.

He talks about a book written for engineers, programmers and managers that [...]

Well the weight has now dropped to 96Kgs. Still too much but I am making good progress. So I have lost 4-5 kilos of flab. I took some disks off my dumbells to check out how much weight this is like. It is alot! I cannot believe I was jogging with this kind of dead weight [...]

As crazy as it sounds there was a program on Japanese TV about how to reduce your waistline using drinking straws. Candidates tried the system for 2 weeks and there were impressive results. Their weight didn’t change much but the waist measurements in everybody was significantly reduced.

The waist size reduction was between 2.5cm and 8cm Also, [...]

This is a great way to lose weight 10km of road weaving up and down mountains (ok hills – big ones!). From my jogging, I knew my heart rate should be below 150 bpm for comfortable cruising. But in the race, I found it hitting 163 bpm so well outside the fat-burning-zone.

It was tough but [...]
