Spin was so much more than just a sport to me and I especially love how it's a community of people who come together with a common interest, fostering camaraderie even amongst a room full of strangers. I’ve always loved spin and in my head I knew, at some point in my life, I wanted to take it further and grow from it further. What led you to become a spin instructor? It was to the point that I would go for classes overseas too and it was so much of fun and I’m extremely fortunate and grateful to have had the opportunity to do classes and expose myself to spin communities outside of Singapore. Despite feeling so out of my comfort zone there was something really addictive and I kept coming back for more. My first class left me light-headed, my vision blacked out momentarily and I could barely breathe or keep up. Honestly, I was introduced to it by a friend and I was initially very unwilling to go because I hated doing something and being bad at it. Still waiting for this pandemic to blow over so I can finally clock in my first full marathon. Very thankful for this culture because it made me grow to love running (not just from problems, I’m kidding) and pushed me to take part in half-marathons as I got older. We had jogging sessions three times a week on top of PE, I kid you not, it was a part of the timetable the same way maths/chemistry/English was a part of the timetable. When I get back I clock in morning or evening runs to keep my stamina in check.Īlso, I used to run a lot back in secondary school because our school was known for track and field so even if you weren’t a part of the school team, running was incorporated into the timetable. When I’m overseas I tend to do a lot more HIIT workouts and Barre, basically things you can do in a confined space on your own without the use of much equipment. I’m also trying to incorporate strength training now too because I do a lot of cardio. On weeks I’m teaching, I clock in 6 to 8 spin classes and I try to squeeze in other spin classes with other instructors (it’s nice to switch off as a rider) and a mixture of HIIT (Barry’s). On a serious note, I think it’s important to understand what your body needs and how to cater to those needs through the food you ingest.Įxercise: To be honest, my fitness regime is very fluid due to the nature of my job.
I don’t believe in diets because I believe in having everything in moderation and yes, that includes bubble tea. I can’t bear to ingest anything fluffy with a cute face and I’m not a fan of gamey meat. I'm kidding, caffeine isn’t the only thing running through my veins! My diet is largely pescatarian with lots and lots of veggies and fruit.
