In response to Tuesday’s Blog Post “Having an Unproductive Workout?“, I’ve decided that due to popular request, it is only appropriate that today, I give you my Number #1 secret to having a productive workout.
I’m here to tell you that you CAN see great results with efficient 1 hour workouts or even less - whether it’s weight loss or to build a physique like a greek god. Anyone who tells you otherwise probably doesn’t have a clue on what he or she is doing. Take for example the personal trainer at your gym who only spends 1 hour with his/her clients, but when they do their own workouts - it sometimes goes up to 2 hours each. Are you being cheated? Well no - it’s just that they probably have no clue on what they’re doing themselves. But - we’ll save that story for another day before this post becomes a long-winded rant. So I’ve just got ONE secret to share with you - and actually, it’s not much of a secret at all.
Are you ready? … [click to continue...]

Yes you read the title correctly - and how you do that is easy - you just waste lots of time.
I was at the gym yesterday for my workout - and I noticed that most people tend to waste a lot of time when they are at the gym to work out. It’s like their workout session is the time of the day that they have chosen to be the most relaxed and do everything else - when really, shouldn’t it be the other way around?
Most guys go in to the gym to burn some fat and build some muscle. The problem is… the workouts they do don’t help - and 3 months later… they go around saying that the gym ‘isn’t for them’.
One thing that blew me away yesterday was that I completed my entire workout and this guy I observed was STILL on the phone throughout the entire time - and he was just gettting started as I was getting ready to leave, cos I was already done! [click to continue...]

We all have things in life that we KNOW we need to do… but may sometimes hate doing it. For example:
- taking the trash out
- picking up the kids from school
- attending to the garden
- going for that half-hour jog
- waking up early for a workout
- showing up at the gym and getting a workout done even if your trainer can’t make it
- eating those veggies
- cooking your own meals
I could go on and on. We hate doing these things because they are sometimes… no fun. Watch this video below for a little eye-opener on how a little creativity can change our habits: [click to continue...]

This has been around over the Internet since early this year - but I just thought I’d put it on the blog considering the amount of traffic I get from people interested in fat loss. The image below shows a body scan (if I’m not mistaken, it is a MRI slice), of two women weighing 113kg and 54kg - so no clothes to hide and pretend that everything is fine.
I don’t intend for today’s blog post to deliver facts on weight loss or to explain the dangers of being overweight - so I’m not going to say much except to leave you with a few things to think about at the end of the post. I hope that this would be a wake up call to many if you think you can ‘get off the hook’ by not taking care of your health or ignoring weight gain. [click to continue...]

I was having a brief chat with Malaysian radio legend Shazmin Shamsuddin just yesterday, sharing with her on how working with a Personal Trainer to help you with your fitness goals can actually turn out to be a life-changing experience (and not torture sessions like some people believe it to be).
A personal trainer can not only impact a client physically via exercise, but also the client’s behaviour, daily lifestyle decisions, and even mindset.
At times, a great trainer would not only be able to directly impact his/her client, but even indirectly alter the habits of those who are in contact with that client - for example the family, best friend, and colleagues of the client.
I don’t know about you, but that’s powerful stuff - and totally rewrites what many people think the roles of a Personal Trainer are.
Whoever you may be - accomplished CEO, busy executive, housewife, teenager or athlete, working with a Personal Trainer can help you improve your ‘game’ - the word game here not only referring to a physical sport, but also your work, studies, and fitness goals.
On a lighter note and in an attempt to illustrate my point, here are…
