Exercise In Moderation

I have been frequently asked "Is exercise good for you?" 

The expert's reply - Mostly, yes. Sometimes, it’s not at all. 

In fact, there are times when exercise can be downright dangerous. 

There are lots of good evidence that regular exercise of any kind 

will lower your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. 

It will make you stronger, thinner, more alert, and lower 

your risk of cancer, stroke, heart attack, arrhythmia 
and blood clots. So please exercise. You’ll feel better 
and live longer but do it in moderation, 
says the expert.

My wife is an exercise and fitness freak who often gave me raised eye brows & shocking surprises. She has cycled with her gang for the torturous Century Ride of 180km around Penang till Kedah & Perak States besides trips up to Fraser's Hills, Hulu Langat, Melaka and others on her 2 wheels. She has dragged me to hike up Mount Kinabalu, Mount Emei-Shan, Mount Jiuhua-Shan and Mount Hua-Shan in China. My heart and poor legs were often screaming for help. Now she is into Tai Chi after mastering her head-stand pose to get her Teaching Certificate for Yoga. This Saturday would be her second Tai-Chi Tournament in Johor Bahru.

There is a huge park with a big lake, complete with flowing water streams 

and jungle trails nearby my home. This Kiara Park is very spacious and 

neat with abundance of wild greens.

 It is a very popular place for all families of the 3 generations. 

They will come for slow walks, jogging and even conduct boot camps!

There are many species of monkeys and exotic birds too.

I even saw the rare protected red butted monkeys!
The air is very fresh with lots of flowing energy.

That's yours truly, climbing up the rocks at where my wifey

said was the easiest trails of hers. You will also see hundreds of brave cyclists 

riding their mountain bikes across the tough trails which looked 

very dangerous & steep.

  

That's my tough Iron Woman who could sweep all the toughest

trails daily with her like-minded hikers or even ALONE!

 She would also practice her Tai Chi movements and swords very often. Her tournament is coming up and she trained so rigorously until her tendon snapped! She became a crippled and had to see the TCM Tit-Tar to fix her leg which had internal bleeding. That Chinese doctor cupped out all the 'loose' internal blood out which looked slimy.

Remember that I fell inside the drain 2 months ago? My leg has healed but the dark patches were still visible and would not disappear. I went to this TCM Doctor who used needles to painfully prick my leg to extract out all the 'loose' blood that was bad in colour and thick like glue! That's dangerous and should be removed otherwise I would have multiple blood clots in near future.
