A couple of months ago, Harith and Jezamine recorded one of their workouts at my Body Transformation Camp, as part of the Essentiale ‘Change for Life’ for a healthy liver campaign.
Watch this entertaining 3-minute video to see what happened:

If you’ve always been having to put up with alot of pressure on your wrists when you do the plank, today’s TIP (which I learned from the 2012 Asia Fitness Convention) will give you a super-quick way to relieve that.
The next time you do the plank exercise:
Instead of using a ‘clenched fist’, try using a flattened palm instead, like how I’m doing it below:
This one small change will give you ALL the benefits of the plank, without the typical strain on the wrists.
Increasing the width between your feet also helps to distribute your bodyweight evenly.
Try it – and let me know how it worked for you.
Speak soon,

As I went for a short run this morning at the TTDI Kiara park, I made a startling discovery about Indian people and exercise.. Watch the 90-sec video below to see what it is:
So… do you agree with me?
No wonder Indian people here in Malaysia are at a high risk for lifestyle-related diseases. You know, Heart Attack, High Cholesterol, Diabetes – it runs in almost every Indian family I know… and it’s not by coincidence.
This study done by USM proves my claims about the health condition of Malaysian Indians:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21815810
How To Fix This
Awareness begins from home.
1. The foods we Indians eat are too carb-dense. Gone are the days where we Indians are mostly labourers and hence require all those carbs and energy. Today, we hold important positions and sit at the office all day.
2.The typical Indian mindset of ‘wife staying at home to take care of the kids and family’ could be resulting in mothers who do not have the time to go out and exercise.
Of course, these are only TWO of the many possible areas to look at.
I hope my observation today causes you to think about it – and take action.
In health,
Noel

Hey everyone, I’m really excited to announce the first of our many #SLIMDOWN workshops to come.
The NEXT #SLIMDOWN workshop is scheduled for:
When: Saturday, 20th April 2013
Time: 4PM-5:30PM
Registration: RM50 (Full Registration)
Early Bird: RM40 if you register by 14th April 2013.
BONUS: After the workshop, we’ll head over to the Taman Rimba Park for a 45-minute outdoor Transformation Camp workout, led by me – the group workout starts at around 6:15PM. This workout is OPTIONAL (no extra charges).
Although this is open to the public, spaces are limited (maximum 25). I encourage you to sign up as soon as possible because I strongly suspect my own campers from the Transformation Camp will fill those slots up over the next couple of days.

In between caring for their families, mothers – whether they’ve just had their first or fourth child, whether they work or stay at home- often don’t have enough time to think of themselves and their fitness. In this radio interview I had over BFM89.9, I provide some very practical TIPS on fitness for mothers.
