Practical Fitness in Singapore

The average fitness conscious Singaporean... Runs!

Beyond which what an average Singaporean does for exercise can be classified under the Alpha male Singaporean and female Singaporean's workout preferences.

The Alpha Male Singaporean runs most of the time, takes part in atleast one marathon, doesn't miss the New Paper Big Walk every year and loves to gym. He eats anything and everything that tastes good and occasionally makes healthier food choices. Most saturdays are kept free for some beer or drinks at the club with friends. Neverthless, he keeps himself fit enough to atleast pass IPPT every year so that he doesn't have to turn up for Remedial Training (RT) during Reservist.

The Alpha Female Singaporean finds running the primary choice for exercise. Being slim is a must and it is acheived through a very health conscious lifestyle, occasionally resorting to smaller portions and reduced frequency of meal intake. Gymming isn't new to her, but she works out the lower body more often and is less inclined to carry weights as she doesn't want to bulk up. Her fitness however is not put to test every year unlike the men. Neverthless, from the looks alone, she's fit, beautiful and leads a healthy lifestyle.

Now many of you Singaporeans out there may find yourself varying slightly from being defined as the average Alpha Singaporean in terms of fitness. If you find yourself having nothing to do with fitness or have trouble handling your fitness level, then you've come to the right place.

This blog is written specially for us Singaporeans and gives specific information that is best suited for the Singaporean Lifestyle.

It won't take long for you to realise that trying to keep fit or improve your fitness is one trait that makes us Singaporean!


Knowing how to keep fit the right way deserves to be known for FREE!

People out there are making a living by selling you organised information on what to do for your health. Your Fitness is in your hands. Not theirs! They only happen to know something that you don't.

Instead I would like to share with you simple changes that can be made and easily integrated for the average Singaporean to follow and with which he or she will learn how to choose what to eat and what to do and turn himself or herself fit for life.

Here are some Main Points to adhere to...

1. Know your Biology
With the amount of information available on the internet today, it is not going to be hard for one to understand his or her own body. Spend some time to read some biology and find out how age, sex, weight, height, hormones, blood type and certain diseases affect the human body. When you know who you are chemically and biologically inside, you will know how your body will react when you do something to it from the outside.

2. Understand Nutrition
Once again, the internet is your best tool to find out about nutrition. Have some basic knowledge about common nutrients associated with fitness. For example, spend some time learning about protein and the different forms it exists in. Having a good knowledge of food will enable you to quickly process what's in the meal you are having next and allow you to understand what your body is getting itself into.

3. Do Research on existing Training Methods and Diets
Currently there are many books, articles and programmes available for every individual catering to his/her health and fitness. Magazines display quotes such as "Get the 6 pack of your dreams" or "Superman Shoulders" not just to show you what to do to get those, but to make sure you grab the magazine and pay for it. When it comes to diets, there was the Atkins Diet, The South Beach Diet, The Hollywood Liquid Diet, Slimming Pills and much much more. Yet have you ever asked yourself... How many of these work? What are the side effects? Who are successful from these programmes?
Well if you haven't, then by now you would have atleast started to wonder. Do you remember TVMedia? They used to advertise Abmachines and other exercise related stuff on TV and were a phone call away from eating into your wallet. Today TVMedia has been phased out, and furthermore those products that were once worth a few hundred dollars are found at Cash Converters for a few dollars. The reason? People sold them off as they DIDN'T WORK for them.

In simpler terms... I advise that you DO YOUR RESEARCH before you embark on any fitness or diet programmes.


The information posted on this blog could potentially harm the Health and Fitness Industry, but it is certainly going to improve your health if you cooperate. Read on and find out how you can live a better life!

With enough research, soon you will be enlightened about how you could still lead a normal life and yet change your habits to make yourself the healthy Singaporean the MOH wants you to be.
