Nobody has mentioned cycling yet.

And walking.

Why not try a slightly more physical martial art like Muay Thai, boxing, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

It is a fun way to get in great shape, and there are tons of MMA gyms opening all over Singapore as of late.

I walk several clicks each day unless it's raining.

Still don't get why people run on these jogging machines instead of "getting out there" on a clear day.

Jogging machines are air-conditioned. Why deal with yucky and icky humidity?

I read once that sex is a great alternative to the gym, so I threw my self into it - as many times a day as I could perform but I was getting no noticeable benefit.
So I went to a doctor who told me you need a partner to get the benefits

</humour> just in case

Wakeboarding at SKI360. If you're good then your arms and core get a great workout. If you're not good then you end up swimming back to the edge a lot!

Which happened to me a lot.

And oh, those muscle sores on arms...

Where and when can one try this ?
This is something that I think looks really cool. But I worry I might be way too old for this now.

We're doing it at the Kali Majapahit Gym, 43 Carpenter Street #02-01, and at the second half, we may go outside to CQ and jump over pedestrians! (somewhat). First trial session is free! Come down today at 7pm to see us in action

I'll be the guy in glasses, wearing a red parkour t-shirt and black sweatpants

Jeez, I feel like doing an advertisement...I should get paid by my coach, or get free lessons or something

You guys shouldn't be too old...especially you, SMS!
