Hello, fellow wanderers! Normally, I’d be sharing with you some tales of landmarks, landscapes, and “temples”, but today, I’m trading my passport for a tennis racket and embarking on a different kind of adventure: a quest to conquer the challenging pursuit of losing weight, Singapore-style. Let’s be real, it hasn’t been easy.
As a person fond of traveling, my life becomes a whirlwind of plane tickets, food tours, and Instagrammable moments. But let’s be real, all those delicious local delicacies can take a toll on the waistline. That’s why, lately, I’ve swapped my usual itinerary of sightseeing and snacking for something a little more active – and a lot more challenging.
Let me tell you, the struggle to lose weight is no joke, especially with the endless temptations of hawker centers and Michelin-starred restaurants around every corner. But I’m determined to prove that even a self-proclaimed foodie can find balance and achieve their fitness goals. #crossfingershard
ActiveSG: My Unexpected Ally (and Court Booking Savior!)
Forget the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands, folks. I’ve discovered a hidden gem in this city-state that’s far more exciting (and calorie-torching) than any tourist attraction: ActiveSG. And their new balloting system for court bookings? It’s a game-changer!
ActiveSG is Singapore’s answer to the fitness enthusiast on a budget. With a network of sports facilities scattered across the island, it’s like a giant playground for adults. And the best part? It won’t break the bank! The balloting system makes it so much easier to secure a court, even during peak hours. No more waking up at the crack of dawn to try and snag a reservation!
I’ll admit, I wasn’t always a cardio enthusiast (unless it’s tennis). In fact, I was more of a “Netflix and chill” kind of traveler. But ActiveSG has changed all that. How I wish the Philippines would have the same, but nah! Having this since the time I discovered it (6 years back) I’ve had a fair share of group meetups, made new friends, and even developed a killer backhand (okay, maybe not killer, but it’s getting there). Who knew swinging a racket could be so much fun – and such a great workout?
Of course, it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows. There have been days when I’ve wanted to give up when the cravings for chicken rice and Mr. Coconut were too strong to resist. But thanks to the support of my fellow ActiveSG enthusiasts and the sheer joy of the game, I’ve pushed through and maintained my love for tennis.
Traveling is no excuse for neglecting your health. ActiveSG makes it easy to stay active, even when you’re on the go. Singapore may be known for its futuristic skyline, but its vibrant fitness scene is just as impressive. All you really need it to step outside your comfort zone and discover a new way to explore this amazing city.
Weight loss shouldn’t feel like a punishment. ActiveSG has shown me that fitness can be enjoyable, social, and even a little bit addictive. And remember, even when it gets tough, don’t give up! The results are worth it. But seriously, the portal’s new balloting system made booking a tennis court much less stressful. Now I can focus on my game (and my fitness goals) instead of worrying about getting a slot. So, fellow adventurers around Singapore, if you’re looking for a way to spice up your Singapore stint (and shed a few pounds while you’re at it), I highly recommend checking out ActiveSG. Who knows, you might just discover a hidden talent for tennis, volleyball, or even Zumba. And even if you don’t, you’ll definitely have a blast trying!
