Rain May Stop My Walks, But Not My Workouts

It’s been raining every single day in Ipoh for the past week, thwarting my plans for my usual evening brisk walks.

Mum and I now attend strength training classes at the gym three times a week. In the evenings, I try to do at least 30–40 minutes of brisk walking around my neighbourhood. Walking or jogging beside hills, trees, and greenery has always been medicine for my body and soul, ever since I was a child.

Since the rain has been keeping me indoors every evening, I’ve been adapting by spending at least 30 minutes working out or dancing in front of my laptop instead.

One of my favourite YouTube channels for free workout videos is Fabulous50s. The creator is an Aussie lady in her 50s, and her workouts are easy to follow without being overly intense. If you’re looking to lose some weight, improve your fitness, or simply move more, her videos are a great place to start.

The good thing about exercise is that it doesn’t have to be complicated. You can work out in the comfort of your own room, wearing your pyjamas and socks if you like, like yours truly.

But if you enjoy using gym equipment and don’t mind spending a little, the gym can be a great option too.

The important thing is to keep moving, rain or shine.

Here’s a video of Mum and me at the gym today. 💪❤️
