Don’t cha need a challenge?

2010.05.26 00:54:19

Last week, work was insane and by the end of the week, I was exhausted. So over the weekend, instead of going for a run at the gym, I decided to meet up with a friend. I wanted to find new food spots in Singapore so we walked aimlessly around Ang Siang Hill, Club Street, Chinatown, Duxton Hill and finally ended up at Marina Boulevard.

I didn’t even think about how much walking we had done in the day until I went home that night, and realised my legs were aching quite a fair bit. I had walked for about four hours!

That’s the great thing about exercising with pals. Not all of us are motivated gym bunnies who enjoy pumping iron and hitting the treadmill. But when you have company, it takes your mind off the fact that your body is getting a workout and that distraction allows you to push your body further.

So this week, I decided to test the theory. I forced my sister to go to the gym with me in the morning. Usually, I stop after half an hour on the treadmill then move on to the weight machines. It doesn’t matter whether I’m tired or not, I just stop after half an hour cos I tell myself that’s enough for a warm up.

With my sister around, I ended up running for an hour. In between gossiping and running, I managed to squeeze in another half hour! I was also able to lift heavier weights than usual cos when I was struggling, she was there to assist me. And here’s the best part: Brekkie at Cedele after a good workout!

So, I’ve gotten all my girlies to sign up for The Ultimate CLEO Fitness Challenge. There will be four fitness challenges going on throughout the afternoon (The Bike Challenge, BodyCombat, The Cardio Challenge and The Body Balance Challenge) and all we have to do is complete as many challenges as we can.

Now, I’m by no means saying this is going to be an easy feat. But it is called The Ultimate CLEO Fitness Challenge, not The Ultimate CLEO Walk in the Park. There are amazing lucky draw prizes for people who complete two challenges including a surf tour to Australia and $500 in cash but the girlies and I have our own internal bet. The person who gives up first has to buy drinks after and go up to three random guys at the bar and say, “I’m sad. Can I cry on your shoulder?”.

So come down and join us! It's happening on June 26, Saturday and all you need to do is fill up the form on pg 151 in the June issue of CLEO.
