As I’m sitting down in front of my laptop on a magnificent Monday morning here at home, with my breakfast on the side, and glancing at what I was having for breakfast (a smoked salmon sandwich) - I was reminded of what my lifestyle was many years ago.
For those of you who don’t know about my story, I led a very unhealthy lifestyle back then during my schooling days and in college. To give you a rough idea of what my eating habits were like: [click to continue...]

Often, I am asked about my experience and what it is like to be a Personal Trainer - especially when I’m someone who actually quit a well paying secure job in an IT company here in Malaysia to pursue doing something I love.
Today’s blog post is just some light reading that may give you a glimpse on some of the things I enjoy as a trainer/coach currently working with people from all walks of life. So here they are, in no particular order. [click to continue...]

It has been awhile since I last caught an episode of the Biggest Loser Asia. In fact, just earlier this week, I happen to catch the latest episode playing on Hallmark, but barely 10 minutes into the show, and I switched over to the Asian Food Channel instead. Why? Frankly… it sickens me.
Yes, this is a huge statement I’m making considering I was really excited about the show late 2009. I even had the privilege to be part of a guerilla-marketing stunt held last year in Kuala Lumpur (which I got paid handsomely for), I attended the media launch event, and invited to another event for a chance to interview Dave and Kristy (which I could not attend at the last moment).

2009 was a massive year for me – both personally and for my blog DailyMuscle.com.

Here are some of my highlights for 2009;

While most people (me included) tend to lay back during the year-end, slowing down the pace of things, spending more time with family, eating more meals outside due to the holiday season - there’s no reason why one should absolutely stop working towards their fitness goals.
Sure, this may not be the time to achieve a new personal best, but as long as you keep the weight from piling on, or prevent yourself from ‘derailing’ too far from your fitness goals - I think that the year end holidays are a very welcome and much-needed ‘break’ for us. It is not realistic and not practical to be on a super-strict fitness routine 24/7, 365 days per year. This isn’t the Biggest Loser Asia… this is real life. :-D
Food is an important part of many holidays, celebrations, family and cultural traditions. In fact, people tend to gather ‘around’ food for special occasions, and as a result, many people gain a little (or a lot of) weight towards the year end holidays.
So to get you started on the right foot come January 2010, and to help you stay on track this holiday season, here are 5 tips that will come in handy. [click to continue...]
