Glucosamine
People ask me how I can still wear my 5 inch platform heels to work, especially after all that hardcore pounding on my knees and joints with long distance running plus combat at the gym. Well, it’s not all me. I do have some help. Realising that injuries occur due to wear and tear, I tend to […]

Once upon a time, I only ever wore, Nike gym apparel. Then I found Lululemon. The style, the fit.. the snazzy colors. It’s just so me. Unfortunately, the closest Lululemon store to us here in Kuala Lumpur, would be, Hong Kong or Australia. What a bummer. A while back I tried ordering them on the […]

How do you choose the best running shoes?
How do you choose the best running shoes? There is no hard and fast rule, and so long as you’re working with the top line, of any reputable running brand, then that’s already half the battle won. Buying the best running shoes for myself is often a very difficult task as there is such a […]
