Five Cents Ten Cents

Financial freedom, one realistic step at a time.

Healthy, Wealthy and Wise


I came across Bodyrock TV on youtube and through surfing the net. The personal fitness lady who demonstrates the exercise routine has such a killer bod that I always feel my fats and love handles each time I watch one of her latest workouts. I used to be slightly unfit in JC, lost quite a lot of bodyfat during full-time NS times, went through periods of fitness and relative unfitness in my 20s to 30s before the birth of my daughter 2.5 years ago let me shed my weight from 69 kg to a more manageable 63 kg now. I aim to maintain my current weight by exercising more and to do more exercises like those in Bodyrock TV.

Why am I talking about health and fitness?

No amount of money and financial freedom can be enjoyed if you don’t have good health.

I realise that I’m still not investing enough of my time to exercise (at least three times a week for 30 mins each) even though I can do so after my daughter is asleep or before she wakes up. I can also do so during lunchtime so I have absolutely no excuses other than my own laziness and inertia!

I’m posting a link to the workout video above to continue to remind myself to EXERCISE REGULARLY and GET FIT!

How do you invest in your health?

Be well and prosper.

    Hi PG,
    You must be one of those blessed to lose weight with your girl’s birth. I gained from my 2 children and despite running more last year – my weight grew.
    It’s only recently that I have cut down my carbs intake (sugar + rice) that I have started losing weight and doing Hi Intensity Intervals Training regularly(abt 5-10 mins each session and 3 times average).
    So I would say that apart from exercise, disciple in food intake is also important and having low carb meal works for me as it help prevents from getting hungry.

    Blessed day!

    Hi hjteo

    I also did switch to more healthy breakfasts about 2.5 years back eating mostly boiled rolled oats in the morning. I watch my carbo as well and try to ask for less rice or not finish my rice for lunch.

    You are right that it’s a combination of healthy eating plus exercise that keeps the weight down.

    Sometimes weight increases if you build muscle. What’s more important is % of bodyfat as well as major indicators such as blood pressure, LDL and HDL cholestrol levels etc.

    Be well and prosper. :-)

    Hi PG,

    Haha, I’m a great fan of Zuzanna – she’s quite an inspiration! I intend to reduce my work load by having class settings, then try to incorporate some exercise into my evenings / mornings. This would have to begin after I get my own flat and live with my exercise crazy wife-to-be. I hope she pushes me to exercise with her, haha!

    I tried a pure vegetarian diet for close to a year too, and realised that I can take it, though it’ll be 100% more healthier if I can cook at home myself. Again, that will have to come when I have my own place.

    Actually I need to gain weight more than lose weight, haha :)

    Hi LP

    Yes, eating at home helps a lot. Ever since I have a maid, most meals (breakfast/dinner) are at home which means I eat less salt, oil, fatty stuff.

    Zuzanna’s ripped body is to die for! I saw on TV this programme where the commentator mentioned that everyone has 6 packs, but it is the fats that prevents them from being well defined…hahah…

    That is one of my goals, to have a ripped six pack like hers! :-)

    Hope that your plans for a new home is progressing well!
