Beivied - article about someone's experience with MBT shoes
I havent found out how much the shoes cost, but came across an article about someone using MBT shoes.
http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/43587/fitness/mbt_trainers.html
"Losing weight is something that many people are struggling with from time to time. For me it all changed drastically when I discovered fitness walking and all its benefits. I started to walk with Mbt trainers (also called the "cellulite shoes") as often as I could, aiming for about 10 000 steps a day ( I got myself a step counter to keep track). And I promise, if you stick to the walking program that you set up for your self, walking those extra fifteen, twenty or forty five minutes a day, it will soon start showing on your scale. As I mentioned, I fuelled the walking up with a pair of Mbt shoes, that are supposed to be good for posture, toning and firming your body. And they really worked, to my own amazement (I must admit, I was a bit skeptical at first). I noticed a big change in my legs and buttocks and even stomach. They where much more toned, cellulite was reduced and my stomach was firmer and flatter. Just by walking with these shoes.
When I decided to do some extra walking, I didn't set a goal to do it all at once in the evening or morning. I started to walk partly to and from work, stepping off the tube two stations earlier each way. I walked a short one at lunch if I had the time, something that really helped my with my afternoon tiredness as well. On my step counter I could follow how many steps I had been taken during the day, and if there where steps missing from my 10 000 steps goal, I took a walk in the evening.
And, as it showed, this was the easy way for me to lose weight. I didn't change my diet much, just trying to eat some more fruit and veggies. In three months I had lost 15 pounds!
So, do like I did and don't suffer with extreme diets, get a pair of Mbt shoes and a step counter, and get in the shape of your life!"

Beivied - MBT shoes, help strengthen and TONE UP your body
I saw this on a video in a shopping centre in Milan before but didnt think much of it at that time. I saw it again in an overseas Shape magazine that I bought last month, but didnt find out more about it. Today, when I am googling for stuff that helps strengthen ankles, I see it again. Maybe I should go to the retail outlet and take a look...
http://www.swissmasai.sg/Benefits.aspx
Beivied - what can I do to Strengthen my Ankles?
Here are some stuff that I found for ankle strengthening.. I want to carry on dancing and other activities, like cycling, running etc. So I thought I had better make sure my ankle can take it.
http://www.csuchico.edu/~sbarker/injury/ankle/ankle_rehab.pdf
Extract - these can be done in office :
Anterior Tibialis Stretch
Sit in a chair and cross your right leg onto your
left thigh. Your malleolus, or ‘ankle bone’,
should be about 2 inches off your thigh. With
your left hand, grasp the top of your foot and
pull your foot towards your left side, making
sure movement occurs at the ankle joint. A
stretch should NEVER HURT! Attain a good,
pain free stretch and hold for 15 seconds then
switch and stretch left leg, repeat 4 times.
Toe Taps
Sit in chair. Begin with right foot. Keep heel on the ground. Raise toes up toward body, then
lower so toes touch ground. Perform 2 sets of 10 repetitions. Repeat toe taps for left foot.
Towel Scrunches
Sit in a chair and stretch a towel on the
floor in front of you. Begin with right foot
and keep heel on the ground and off towel.
Now, using your toes scrunch the towel
towards you. Scrunch the towel as far as
possible, then straighten and repeat a total
of 3 times. Switch to left foot and repeat.
(When exercise becomes easy, place a
book on the far end of the towel and then
scrunch.)
Ivy note - it actually hurts a bit for me to do this

Beivied - Injured Ankles
Recently taking up bellydancing again has reminded me of my near sprain at Lau Pa Sat.
It was at least a year ago. I was on night shift, and going to Lau Pa Sat with my colleagues to buy dinner. When walking down the stairs, I missed one step and fell towards my left side. At that moment, I thought I felt something crunched in my left ankle. After that, I limped for two or three days. But, I eventually recovered. So I did not really think it was a sprain. I mean, no bruises, not really very swollen, and I recovered in a few days. Doesn't sound like a sprain, right?
Well, guess I wasn't exactly correct.
Thereafter, everytime I tip toe and dance, it would hurt. I have stopped dancing for 9 months and never felt any pain in my ankle during this period. I could already feel it in my first lesson, and, today, the last lesson of level 2, I felt as if my left ankle is a towel and I am wringing it everytime I tip toe and dance. It felt worse than 9 months ago, more intense and the wringing pain is worrying me. This cannot go on.
So, I go on the internet to see what can be done. Probably good for you two too, cos I remember you two had pretty bad sprains before, and may have painful ankles once in a while when you exercise, like me.
Got this from a Straits Times article. Also learnt that there is a type of ankle brace that can be worn during exercise. It looks pretty stylo milo too, hehe.
http://www.mmbrace.com/bodyparts-braces/ankle/compression.html
But I am not sure where to buy it in Singapore?
http://esportsbraces.com/push-med-ankle-brace.html
this one looks so complicated, and very expensive.

Beivied - Exercise - Fitness Boot Camp, the "Real" Thing
I knew about this company but I dont really believe in burning 1000 Calories in one hour. If it is true, the exercise rate would be something that I will not be able to tahan. Most probably they include the calories that would continue to burn post-exercise. This is possible if you do resistance training. Anyway I think the promotional rate of SGD28 per hour is quite ok to give it a try before deciding if it really is anything good.
Invest in FITNESS!
Usual rate: S$50 per session (S$500 for 10 sessions)
Promotional rates: Only $28 per session!
1 session of Fitness Bootcamp @ $28 (Usual $50) - No Risk Trial :)
See details below - Free workout if you're not satisfied with it!
Max of 1 trial session per person
5 sessions of Fitness Bootcamp @ S$140 (Usual S$250)
10 sessions of Fitness Bootcamp @ S$280 (Usual S$500)
+ 1 Session Free (Worth S$50)
15 sessions of Fitness Bootcamp @ S$420 (Usual S$750)
+ 1 Session Free (Worth S$50)
20 sessions of Fitness Bootcamp @ S$560 (Usual S$1000)
+ 2 Sessions Free (Worth S$100)

Beivied - Should We Meet Up Every Week?
Hey Sisters,
I was thinking, should we fix a day and time as our Meet Up, to do some exercise together, and also to have our weight maintenance meeting? We can change the place and activity, as long as it is something that makes us exercise... for example, Swimming, Cycling, even walking also good. And we should also make sure on that day, we have one meal together. A healthy, low fat but still delicious meal.
What do you gals think?

Beivied: Exercise Updates
Belly Dance
Alice already knows, but for the sake of blogging it, I have gone back to doing bellydance. It is really quite a happy thing, dancing again, toning up, making friends.. I went back to more beginner level, 2 and 3, which level 2 is a "hip hip" dance, level 3 is veil.
This week is the last week, which I am doing two hours each for the last class, Thursday and Friday. That definitely burns some calories, not sure about losing any weight. But it makes me a happier person.
Though I would be even happier if I have company, cos now I just go for class and go home, on my own. I dont even have to open my mouth to talk. Got one or two new friends but really just saying Hi and Bye..
I have signed up for Level 4, Cane Dance, on Sunday mornings 11am to 12 noon. Considering should I sign up for the Finger Cymbal class too.
The student-turned-instructors are gradually progressing up the levels. I rather have Yuki teach in that case. I dont think Joey is going back to the lower levels when she come back from giving birth. Elis..?
Swimming
I just did a 15 lap swim today at Jalan Besar swimming complex .... went to the swimming pool too late, only swam from 8.30pm to 9pm.
Got called up by the pool guard at the 15th lap. My plan was to swim 20 laps, minimum.
Also got told off for wearing a running t shirt over my swim suit... I am too fat to appear in a bikini lor, but I cant tell that to the guard right.. so, time for a new swimming suit that can cover most of my fat but dont give me an ugly tan line on my shoulders....
until now still dunno whats the distance covered for 15 laps in a 1.0m height pool. One lap is to and fro once. Today I didnt have the painful muscle aches that I had the last time when I swam 20 laps. Does that mean I didnt exercise enough? Hmmm.
