No Pain, No Gain

If Syawal and all those open houses indulgence have left you -


Feeling like a couch potato

Having problems lifting yourself up

Snarling when anyone mentions the word diet

Needing a long time to recharge yourself

Feeling guilty when indulging in your favourite drink

Unable to find a comfortable sleeping angle

Difficulty fitting into your bed

Caught yourself wondering if perhaps what the others have been hinting at may have some truth after all

Then it’s high time to -

Start exercising

Do push-ups

Hit the gym

Do the treadmill


Take up cycling

Or work the exercise bike

Lift dumbbells

Go for walks (and stop occasionally to smell the flowers)

And last but not least, embark on a healthy diet and embrace a healthy lifestyle


After all, at the end of the day, we all want to look good and hot and desirable. And remember, no pain, no gain.



On a serious note, please do whatever it takes to keep yourself active and alert. A masseuse once told me that we must get up and move at least once every hour and it can help us live longer lives. Prolonged sitting can kill us!
