Why not try a slightly more physical martial art like Muay Thai, boxing, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?Brah wrote:I would like to (re)learn Chi Gung and Tai Chi, but all I see is pensioners doing it, and speaking Chinese.
It is a fun way to get in great shape, and there are tons of MMA gyms opening all over Singapore as of late.
besides lots of knee and other leg problems... there's a lot of bruising too...heliotropic365 wrote:Why not try a slightly more physical martial art like Muay Thai, boxing, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?Brah wrote:I would like to (re)learn Chi Gung and Tai Chi, but all I see is pensioners doing it, and speaking Chinese.

Jogging machines are air-conditioned. Why deal with yucky and icky humidity?aster wrote:I walk several clicks each day unless it's raining.bgd wrote:Nobody has mentioned cycling yet.
And walking.
Still don't get why people run on these jogging machines instead of "getting out there" on a clear day.

Re: Fitness Alternatives to Gym
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.Zavier0 wrote:Hi guys, I am a 25 year old guy who is just bored of going to the gym. Anyone has any good alternative activities that can help me keep fit? Some of my friends suggested fencing and horse-riding...
So I went to a doctor who told me you need a partner to get the benefits

</humour> just in case

Where and when can one try this ?Akimbo wrote:I'm doing parkour. The conditioning can be a killer if the coach feels like torturing usJumping and climbing around the urban jungle that is Singapore is quite fun.
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 actionsundaymorningstaple wrote:^^
