Morning Exercise

Went for a morning exercise this morning. As much as I'd like to continue to sleep given the cool weather, managed to pull myself & my hubby out of bed @ 6.10am. Fortunately, it wasn't raining. Reached Kampong Java Park (next to KK Women & Children Hospital) at about 7am when the second batch had already started the exercise.

Actually it's quite fun to exercise in a group. At least there's the motivation to begin with. People of all ages do it together under a few trainers' instructions. At the end of the exercise, we are supposed to form a train and start to massage the shoulders of the person in front of you followed by tapping to promote blood circulation. Then we have to turn around and do it to the person who's behind you. It's quite shiok actually :) But my poor hubby caught a cold because of his sinus plus not used to waking up so early so early :)

Heard about this exercise group via a radio programme from 97.2FM hosted by Billy at 10am on weekdays. It's a set of routine that's supposed to help one detox thru the lymph system. I don't know how this had started but I supposed it was designed with the cancer patients in mind where it helps them lead a healthy lifestyle. Billy has been very active with the Cancer Care Society and has been promoting some of the talks on radio as well. Here's their website: www.carecancer.org Now they are trying to train a group of instructors to reach out to the various districts so that more people can benefit from learning the exercise. Hope they will come to our district soon so at least we don't have to wake up That early.

I personally find this programme healthy - physically, mentally and spiritually. Besides encouraging people to exercise, he has also invited a guest speaker to share about personal development and cultivation. It was through this programme that I've learnt more about spiritual fulfilment (not in the religious aspect)- why we aren't exactly happy despite we've so much material comforts & why we still feel that something is missing despite having achieved so much.

As the tagline of the programme goes "我的健康，我做主" (your health is in your hands), how healthy we are depends on how we work on it. So take some little steps to make yourself healthy today. For me, I'm trying my best to do some stretching and yoga at home daily. Am looking for a kaki to do some simple sports together thou.
Anyone?
