Hi all,
I want to share this "travel" tip with you.
To save money and to keep fit, I travel on my legs from the Train station to my home. It's about 10 - 15 minutes walk.
I found a calculator online that calculates the calories burned in 10 minutes. (source: http://walking.about.com/library/cal/uccalc2.htm)
It takes note of the minutes I spent walking, my weight and my pace. I burned about 20 Calories. Note 22 calories = 1/2 Cup strawberries
1 mile is about 1.6km. And if you want to know eg: how far is the Train station to your home, you may visit www.onemap.sg. This is a really good website of Singapore map. I strongly recommend it! It takes some time to get used to it. But it's very useful, you can zoom in to see the bus numbers at the bus stops.
Exercise today by travelling to keep fit!!
P.S. And guess how much I save from walking? According to SBS website, it states for me about 70 cents for travelling one bus stop. Imagine how much I can save every week (eg: 5 days) = $3.50. Over 4 weeks, you can save $14!! Great?!

Keep fit and Diet for a Flat Belly
Hi all, =)
Today I made a breakthrough.. I want to keep myself fit. I haven't really exercise for some time.. couple of months.
So today... I went walking for 20 minutes, then I went home to do some dumbbell exercises to tone my arms and to broaden my shoulders for about 15 minutes and I spent about 5 minutes doing sit-ups (30 sit-ups at one go). Oh ya, everyone please remember to do warm-up and cool-down exercises to prevent unwanted injuries!
Anyway.. I wanted to share an interesting video that I found on Youtube. Here is the video:
This is my summary. This video shares about having a diet to achieve a flat belly. The video starts off by saying how dangerous fats around your belly can be to your health (some cancers, heart diseases...). Then, the video goes on to say there are 5 categories of food that can help you reduce the dangerous fats. The 5 categories are, some oils (like olive oil), nuts and seeds (pumpkin seeds, peanuts, peanut butter, almonds, walnuts), olives, Avocado, and lastly dark chocolate (great news!!!).
But there are 3 rules: 1) Eat every 4 Hours, 2) Eat 4 400 Calories meals each day (control your diet) and 3) Eat something that is from the above food mentioned at every meal.
I am not sure if this works. But I might try it! If anyone is going to try it or has tried it, please feel free to leave your comments. If you have any information to share, please do!! =)
P.S. I found out that Wikipedia (Keyword: Abdominal obesity) mentioned that sit-ups, crunches have little effect on reducing belly fats. It only helps build abdominal muscles. My personal opinion is what's the good of having abdominal muscles when you cannot reduce the fats (which is dangerous for your health). Please! I am not asking you not to exercise. But perhaps, there are more effective methods! Go google more yourself. And share whatever you have with us! =p
