My last photo for 2017

At Ngong Ping.  I climbed the stairs going to the top

I also encouraged my son to take the healthy route

Pardon the mess.  I usually do my exercises in our bedroom and this was me taking a rest after my workout.  HIIT exercises can really tire you big time and yes, there are instances that I almost vomit because it's so difficult.  Do HIIT for beginners first and when you get the hang of it increase the difficulty level.  HIIT workouts can be done at home, no need for expensive equipment, just an exercise (yoga) mat and rubber shoes.

Look at my progress for three months!

Me with Nikki Tiu

This is me without make-up lessons on the left and this is me after attending make-up lessons on the right. It's pretty obvious that I really do not knpw the science behind putting make-up and I just realized that I look like a clown whenever I put blush on. Attending make-up lessons is one of the things that I do not want to attend because for me it's a waste of time. I would always say to myself I am not into make-up so why attend a class that I am not passionate about? I was wrong. I learned that if you put make-up the right way it can really enchance your looks. Super grateful for the opportunity to attend the make-up class of Nikki Tiu of @askmewhats ❤️❤️❤️#makeup #askmewhats #beauty #vanity

Let's get it on!

• Rock/Wall Climbing--rock/wall climbing is a full body workout that pushes you to use your entire body to climb a wall or a rock mountain.  This activity has lots of benefits--it builds muscle, increases endurance, reduces stress, and boosts brain function.  This activity also teaches trust to each other.  Your friend/partner will be the one to hold the rope and give you enough rope slack while climbing the wall/rock mountain. He/She makes sure that you will be safe should you miss a step.

• Cycling--group cycling is more fun than biking alone.  Tag along your partner or friend while you go to different places with your respective bicycles.  Did you know that an hour of cycling can burn 590-930 calories?  It's definitely a great way to help both of you lose weight, increase cardiovascular fitness, decrease stress levels, and strengthen bones.

• Zumba--this is the most popular activity done with your pal!  Dance your way to a fit body!  Zumba is not only a fun and healthy way to bond, but also a full body workout that burns fat, boosts our mood, and increases confidence.  Zumba is for all ages and is a great opportunity to meet new friends who has the same fitness goals as you.

• Hiking--do you like nature?  Hiking is the best for you and your other half.  Hiking gives you numerous health benefits such as improved blood pressure and blood sugar levels, increased bone density and a strengthened core.  Hiking with a partner for your safety is also a good reason why you need someone with you when you climb mountains.  Taking photos on the summit with someone is the best memory that you can build together!

Excited to use this! Another check mark on my #bucketlist ✅ #camping #mountainclimbing #almost40 #balikalindog2017

• Yoga--if you and your partner are not the adventurous type, you can try yoga.  Yoga is a low-impact and relaxing workout.  It helps you develop a stronger and more flexible body while doing the physical poses of yoga.  It also allows your mind to be calmer and more focused.  Yoga provides the means to attune to the body, thus improving overall health.  It increases circulation, slows heart rate, and lowers blood pressure.
