It’s easy to dream up goals, but it’s difficult to execute them. Often times, we procrastinate on getting started, or we lose focus along the way and give up. What helps is having a plan on how you’re going to get there. So does having support, as no man is an island. That’s what personally helped me in the journey towards completing my first marathon. Four months of training seemed like forever. I had a coach to motivate me, but there was a lot of self-discipline and commitment on my end, too. I am grateful that there was a clear 16-week plan with everything mapped out to guide me. Plus, I was accountable to my coach, as he would check in on me. My husband, Sam, was there every step of the…

Bring your stress down to size

Take a breather, and get used to that chill feeling, because you’re going to be experiencing it a lot now that experts have developed a new way to block out tension. “We call it cognitive jujitsu,” says Hans Hagemann, a co-author of the new book The Leading Brain: Powerful Science-Based Strategies for Achieving Peak Performance. It works like this: When you feel anxious, don’t suppress it. Describe it – angry, overloaded, pressured, says co-author Friederike Fabritius. The mere act of labelling your state of mind forces you to use the prefrontal cortex of your brain, which is the more rational and analytical part, they explain, thereby taming the stress-fuelled emotional limbic system. Practise it, and peace out.…

Bring your stress down to size

“Since I was young, she has been reminding me to moisturise my face and skin. During my adolescent and young adult years, I couldn’t care less as my skin appeared fine. After consistent exposure to the sun and air-con for 30 years, my skin is drier than ever. I’m now fastidious about moisturising my face and hands at least twice a day. I wish I’d started this skincare regime earlier!” “As a child, I went out in the sun quite a bit and my mum would constantly remind me to wear sunblock before leaving the house. I really wanted to get a tan quickly, so I would bring sunblock along with me but I wouldn’t apply it. Regret only kicked in when freckles started appearing on my face. Now, I’ll never…

Food stains on your clothes are such a downer. Sometimes the spots linger even after an intensive wash. The next time they’re stuck, try this old-but-gold remedy: Mix two to three parts baking soda with one part water, till they form a paste. Rub it on affected areas, leave for 30 minutes, then rinse and scrub the stain off or put the garment into the washing machine. To remove tougher, older stains, leave the paste on for an hour or two. Make sure the clothing’s colours are fade-proof before applying the paste. Yes, you’re welcome.…

It is 10am on a cool, summer day in Sydney, and I should be enjoying the surroundings – after all, I’m at the beautiful Royal Botanic Garden. But all I can focus on is trying to keep up with the spin class that’s going on. I fumble to wipe sweat off my forehead and my legs are turning to mush, but I’m motivated to press on as I look ahead and see one strong (and totally gorgeous) figure leading the pact. It’s none other than Jessica Hart, Triumph’s new global ambassador. We’re 30 minutes in and Jessica is obviously killing it in this Vicious Cycle spin class. When it finally ends, I wobble off the bike and catch a glimpse of Jessica, who looks like she just completed a stroll in the…

Travel on the wild side

If you’re itching for an active vacay, put these five places on your radar. Adrenalin junkies will have no lack of options – from bungee jumping to sandboarding – in these exciting travel destinations! 1 South Africa With its stretches of powdery beaches; hectares of winelands; the rich, natural beauty of the Garden Route; and famous game reserves, South Africa is a diverse country that is worth making the effort to visit. And while travellers used to bypass Johannesburg, the City of Gold is being transformed into a hip urban destination that has become a must-visit before gentrification takes hold. ADRENALIN FIX Bungee jump off Bloukrans Bridge on the Garden Route. At 216m, it is officially the world’s highest commercial bridge bungee. 2 Galapagos Islands An archipelago of around 19 volcanic isles in the Pacific…

SNAP LIKE A PRO

Having a hobby is essential to give you an outlet to de-stress and motivate yourself. A great example will be photography, which gives you the chance to explore the world while capturing the best moments. Start snapping fantastic photos with these simple tips from Canon Imaging Academy, and increase your likes on Facebook and Instagram! Take note of the lighting Before taking a photo, position yourself in a way that the light will flatter the image. If you’re taking a group photo, the light should come from the front. If you’re taking a portrait, the light should come from either the top or sides. And if you’re looking for a more ghostly effect, the light should come from below. Use the flash sparingly The flash function should only be used in specific situations.…

Another year happier

If you’re prone to birthday meltdowns, you can officially stop now: Chances are, this year will be even better than the last, The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry reports. Researchers surveyed 1,546 adults, ages 21 to 100, and found that outlooks grew brighter the older the respondents were. “With age, people learn not to sweat the little stuff and also realise that most things ultimately turn out to be pretty small. So they view crises not as a cause for despair but as an opportunity to grow,” says study author Dr Dilip V. Jeste. Plus, he adds, with ageing, the amygdalae – the parts of the brain involved with emotions – actually becomes less reactive to stressful stimuli. That mountain of candles? A molehill.…

Sex so good, you’ll see colours

Tune in to your body Distracting thoughts are the No. 1 reason why women have difficulty reaching orgasm, says Vanessa Marin, a certified sex therapist and founder of Finishing School, an online orgasm course for women. “We multitask so much these days that we have a hard time being fully in the moment, even during sex,” she says. And nothing kills an orgasm faster than thinking about some big meeting at work or an argument you had with your sister. It makes sense, then, that women who are better able to tune out distractions tend to climax more often and enjoy sex more than those who don’t, according to research in the journal Sexual and Relationship Therapy. To stay focused and present, Vanessa recommends concentrating on one specific body part that’s feeling…

Sex so good, you’ll see colours

By the end of the session, my nose was a lot clearer, and I felt rested and calm. That night, I also slept relatively better. As someone who has suffered from on-and-off sinus problems since I was a kid, I was definitely intrigued when I heard about halotherapy, which is also colloquially referred to as salt therapy. I first came across the treatment four to five years ago, but there weren’t any centres offering it at that time. Recently, Breathya opened in Marine Parade, and they’re currently the first halotherapy centre in Singapore. Halotherapy is mainly used to treat two groups of problems: respiratory ailments and skin conditions. Salt is a naturally antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial ingredient. Breathing in the micro-crystals is supposed to help open up your lungs and airways to…

BE STRONGER, LIVE LONGER

You can control how young you look and feel simply by tapping into little-known power sources in your cells, new research reveals. Telomeres, tiny protein sheaths on the ends of your chromosomes, help keep your DNA in prime condition. Studies have linked longer telomeres with better brainpower, a reduced risk of diseases and a longer life. But factors like chronic stress, a lack of exercise and sleep, and a poor diet can cause your telomeres to deteriorate. “If they wear down too much, the genetic material in your chromosomes is no longer protected,” says Elizabeth Blackburn, coauthor of The Telomere Effect. This inhibits your cells’ ability to function properly, which speeds up the ageing process, she adds. Happily, you can easily and quickly strengthen your telomeres. “Studies show that within just weeks…

LET’S DO THIS!

In theory, we know that exercising regularly is great for our minds and bodies. But it’s only human to feel lazy at times. We can think of a million and one excuses when we don’t want to hit the gym. Making time to exercise is probably the biggest challenge, so we’ll show you how you can squeeze a sweat sesh in at lunchtime in this issue’s special. We highlight fun classes under an hour, as well as beauty products and nifty gear that do double duty – so you can save time pre-and post-workout. Speaking of gear, shopping for new clothes and shoes can be a motivating factor. Read the results of our Shape Shoe Awards to find out which trainers are worth investing in. Don’t forget to check out the spread…

MASTER THE MIDDAY WORKOUT

If you’re sitting at your desk thinking “Should I or shouldn’t I?”, consider this: Research shows that lunch hour might be the best time of day to exercise. Your strength peaks midday, making it the ideal window to get in a strength-, speed- or power-based sweat, says study author David Hill at the University of North Texas. The boost may be because your body temperature is higher in the afternoon (a function of your natural circadian rhythms), which in turn means muscles are warmer and chemical reactions might be working faster. You might have to fight over equipment or locker-room space if you go to a crowded gym or studio. But trust us, it will be worth the effort. A good sweat can make you more productive when you return to the…

NEW LUNCHTIME CLASSES TO TRY

The benefits of lunchtime workouts are well proven. Instead of heading back to office sluggish and depressed, you’re on a high, riding on the post-exercise endorphins that make you feel ready to take on the rest of the day. Your energy levels are soaring. You feel like a warrior, even if your body’s a bit sore. Your heart rate is more relaxed than ever, and you find yourself working twice as fast. Suddenly, you’re unbeatable. Exaggeration? Not quite. Try doing a lunchtime workout and you’ll feel the difference immediately. And if you need recommendations, here are the fitness classes on our hit list. They range from 20 to 45 minutes, leaving you time to wash up and grab a quick bite. We can’t promise it will be easy, but the after-effects are so worth…

THE BEST SPORTS SHOES OF 2017

Sports shoes are no doubt the “big ticket” items in your fitness repertoire. That’s why it makes sense to survey the market and weigh your options before buying. Be warned: Shoes that are good for a particular type of workout may not be suitable for another. For instance, gym treads are not recommended for trail running, just as running footwear is not suitable for weightlifting. If, like us, you love doing a variety of activities, like running and HIIT on weekdays, and hiking on weekends, it’s best to get specific shoes for your sport. (Trust us, you’ll feel the difference once you hit the ground running.) If shoe shopping sounds like a major project, it’s because it is. With so much new technology and jargon to process, it may seem like a never-ending…

THE SWEAT SQUAD

“No matter how much cushioning a pair of trainers have, you still need proper workout socks to avoid injury. Invest in a good pair and you will feel a lot more comfortable. It’s a good idea to bring along your socks when you’re buying a new pair of shoes.” DAWN CHEN, 25, Shape writer “Always trust your first instinct when buying shoes. If something doesn’t feel right when you put them on, that pair is probably not for you.” CLAIRE ANG, 20, Shape freelancer “Never buy a pair of shoes without first trying them on. The cut and sizing varies among models, even under the same brand. And don’t just wear the shoes. Jog on the spot and jump in them. They should feel comfy right away!” ESTELLE LOW, 29, Shape writer “Laces are often overlooked.…

MOST LIGHTWEIGHT

For multi-purpose running shoes, the Skechers GoRun Ride 5 ($159) are your best bet. The outsoles have rubber pods and pads strategically positioned in the forefoot and midfoot to enhance grip, whether you’re doing road runs, track work or a quick treadmill session. Running always gets us sweaty in a jiffy. In these trainers, your feet will stay dry and happy, thanks to mesh panels that speed up sweat evaporation. The uppers are ultra-thin, yet are structured enough to hold your feet snugly, preventing them from rolling sideways. When it comes to support, you are in good shoes. This iteration has bumped up the Resalyte cushioning in the midsoles to increase shock absorption and durability. What’s more, they are incredibly soft and responsive, compressing and rebounding to give a spring in every stride. Another…

Get the hang of this

If you’ve ever used the TRX suspension trainer at the gym, you know those hanging straps deliver a one-stop, hard-core workout. How good? Women who did regular 60-minute TRX sessions – burning up to 418 calories a pop – cut their body fat by 2 percentage points in two months, plus amped up their strength and endurance, according to new research from the American Council on Exercise (ACE). Net some of that trimming effect: Include a few suspension-training exercises as substitutes for some conventional ones, or add a suspension-training session into your weekly rotation, suggests Cedric Bryant, the chief science officer at ACE.…

SPORTS DRINKS: YAY OR NAY?

Even if you don’t regularly consume sports drinks, you’ve probably tasted one. A recent study by Herbalife found sports drinks to be the most popular choice for sports nutrition in Singapore, ahead of supplements, energy bars and powdered products. Compared to water, these liquids have added carbs and electrolytes – like sodium, potassium and magnesium – to provide energy and replace the minerals that are lost through sweat. When your body is low on these minerals, you are likely to experience muscle cramps, nausea, fatigue and/or an inability to focus. So while water is great for hydration, sports drinks offer an extra benefit of recharging you, as well as replenishing essential electrolytes. There are plenty of these on the market, from brands like H2O and 100Plus to Pocari Sweat and Herbalife. WHEN SHOULD YOU…

THE TRUTH ABOUT CROSSFIT

By now you would have an idea of what Crossfit is about: high-intensity movements that include jumping on boxes, flipping tyres and climbing ropes. Meet a few Crossfitters and you’ll see that they’re all buff and sculpted in the right places. They are also stronger than the average person, and that means being able to do handstands, lift barbells as heavy as themselves, and leap over the wall if need be. In advertisements and on Instagram, they are portrayed as rugged, gritty people with six-pack abs who are out to torture themselves. Or outdo everyone else. Intimidated? I was, until I got my first taste of Crossfit at a Reebok event. It was fun, beginner-friendly and liberating, to say the least. My body will probably ache, but I will not hesitate to do…

TEST OF ENDURANCE

I felt almost euphoric as I ran. Even when my injury flared up halfway through, I kept calm and carried on. A month before the Skechers Performance Los Angeles Marathon on March 19, I was diagnosed with a mild tendon injury. (Tendons are fibrous cords of tissue that attach muscles to bone.) During the course of treatment, I learnt that the overpronation in my flat feet was a contributing factor. I had experienced pain in my feet during several long runs, which is why I went to the doctor in the first place. My training came to a screeching halt, as I was not allowed to run for two weeks straight. Naturally, I was upset. Three months of training had been done diligently, and it was so close to race day. The one good…

Your pasta craving is legit

There’s actual scientific cred behind your lust for pasta. Experts say they have identified a sixth taste – starchy – and it’s taking its rightful place alongside sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami. “We derive pleasure from eating starches, which is separate from the taste of sweets,” says registered dietitian Leslie Bonci, the owner of Active Eating Advice, a nutrition consulting firm. This discrete flavour may explain why non-starchy swops for bread and pasta aren’t always satisfying, she says. Rather than replacing your spaghetti entirely with zucchini noodles, try a half-and-half mix of the two (and use whole-wheat spaghetti). “This way, your palate will still be satisfied,” says Leslie, and your belly still tight.…

Refuel and re-energise

FATTY FISH AND YOGURT Salmon, mackerel and tuna, and dairy products like yogurt are loaded with vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium. That makes your bones strong and improves your blood pressure, immune system and strength, all of which are key to helping your muscles heal, Katie says. LEAFY GREENS AND WHOLE GRAINS Exercise may deplete B vitamins, so you need plenty of thiamin, riboflavin, B6 and B12 to build and repair muscle tissue, and prevent workout aches. Greens like spinach and whole grains such as barley will help you get your fill. GRASS-FED BEEF AND PUMPKIN SEEDS Zinc helps your cells divide and grow post-workout, so your body heals and becomes stronger. Replenish your stores with beef and pumpkin seeds. 40% The reduction in urinary tract infection symptoms – which include painful urination…

YOUR DAILY GLOW

When it comes to achieving radiant skin, it’s not just about what products you use. Unknowingly, certain lifestyle habits can also wreak havoc on your complexion. Here are the traps to avoid if you want clear, healthy skin. Sleeping on only one side Do you always curl up on only one side whenever you fall asleep? Bad news: Doing so could give you more wrinkles. While you’re off to dreamland for six to eight hours, your skin is busy being rubbed against your pillow. Couple that with gravity and you’re bound to have one side of your face looking saggier than the other over time. Touching your face Make an effort to notice just how many times you subconsciously touch your face in a day: whenever you brush hair off your face,…

Looking at this spring’s makeup offerings, even the most barefaced among us will find that they’re suddenly inspired to swirl a brush into the gorgeous hues and amazing textures. Like the adult colouring book craze, experimenting with your look can be a creative outlet that elevates your state of mind and sense of spirit. “Doing your makeup really is like creating a little piece of art,” Chanel makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua says. With that in mind, tuck away your well-loved lip balm and nude shadow for a bit, and reach for something else that speaks to you, whether that’s one of the kaleidoscope of lip glosses above or the vibrant shadows and mascaras on the next pages. Then start painting. BRILLIANT EYELIDS Pigment-packed shadows in gold, royal blue and magenta offer…

There’s something so refreshing and modern about the no-colour trend. Instead of shocking shades and elaborate art, this one is all about showing off the health of your nails – and the effect is super-easy to pull off. Innovative base coats and topcoats give you perfectly polished, low-maintenance nails in just a few swipes. Here’s how: ACE YOUR BASE The latest base coats do more than just prime your nails for polish. They’re laced with vitamins, peptides, proteins or botanicals to nourish and protect. Opi Gel Break Serum (US$10 or $14, www.ebay.com), developed as an antidote to the issues that crop up after improper gel polish removal (namely weakened nail beds that lead to peeling and increased brittleness), contains vitamins A, C and E, plus saffl ower oil, bamboo and cactus extracts.

HEALTHIER NAILS IN TWO STEPS

Nails have to be healthy to look good bare. “Dark polishes hide issues; clear or super-sheer tints expose them,” says Teresa King, lead manicurist at Van Court salon in New York City.

While running regularly is a great way to sweat it out, the aches that come along with it are honestly not great at all. If you find yourself experiencing joint pain, here are some ways to remedy it: AVOID RUNNING ON ROADS Instead, run on the track. Doing so reduces the impact on your joints, especially your knees, ankles and hips. GIVE YOURSELF BREAKS Don’t push yourself too hard. Rest at least one day after a run to give your body ample time to recover. STRETCH IT OUT Always remember to stretch adequately before and after a run. Use dynamic stretches pre-run and static stretches post-run. USE ICE Icing the affected area after a run can help to reduce inflammation and swelling.
