Kosmo! Kekal Cergas Semasa Puasa
Following article was written by YEO LI SHIAN from Kosmo! Suara Kontemporari.
Jurulatih kecergasan, Kevin Zahri punya tip untuk kekal cergas pada bulan ini.
MELAKUKAN aktiviti fizikal atau senaman pada bulan Ramadan mungkin kedengaran tidak masuk akal bagi sesetengah orang. Berdepan dengan cabaran tanpa makan dan minum hampir 14 jam sudah pun begitu mencabar ketahanan apatah lagi melibatkan diri dalam aktiviti fizikal.
Ramai juga yang mungkin beranggapan adalah lebih baik untuk menghentikan segala aktiviti fizikal seketika sehinggalah berakhirnya Ramadan. Malah, pendapat seperti ini nampaknya munasabah memandangkan tubuh dikhuatiri akan kehilangan lebih banyak air jika menjalani latihan senaman. Jadi, adakah senaman digalakkan pada bulan puasa?

10 Questions - Panduan Senaman Bulan Puasa
First of all, selamat berpuasa kepada semua pembaca Islam and yeah, happy merdeka for all Malaysians as well. With puasa starting tomorrow (I know I know...I would be sembahyang terawih now...hahaha), following are some quickfire questions about senaman, pemakanan dan kecergasan pada bulan puasa.
For for more details - you can also refer to my post "Your Ramadhan Training Guide"
10 Soalan Senaman, Pemakanan Pada Bulan Ramadhan
- Bole bersenam ketika berpuasa?Yes bole tetapi ia bergantung kepada bentuk senaman.
- Bila boleh bersenam cardio?Yup bole, especially if you are looking to bakar lemak, senaman cardio 30-45 minit sebelum berbuka adalah sesuai kerana selepas itu, anda dapat mengembalikan tenaga ketika berbuka.
- Intensiti senaman pulak?Well, take it easy la....you are not training untuk performance tetapi untuk pembakaran lemak. Kalau anda berasa pening etc..than stop. Exercising tanpa bekalan air aint easy.
- Latihan pemberat (weight training) camane?Dont do weight training sebelum berbuka. Selepas berbuka its ok.
- Kalau buat weight training while fasting?If you degil jugak and do weight training ketika berpuasa, first of all your body will have no energy for a quality workout dan yang kedua, your body akan memecahkan otot untuk sumber tenaga - so you rugi je!
- Untuk berbuka, nak makan apa?A balanced meal ataupun makanan seimbang. Obviously you should enjoy yourself but makan perlahan-lahan, ia mengambil masa lebih kurang 20 minit untuk berasa kenyang.
- Kurma menggemukkan tak?I love kurmas but yeah, they are loaded with sugar so dont eat too many. The exact number of calories would depends on the type, size etc.
- Will you lose weight during puasa?Yeah most probably....no matter how much you eat during puasa, most of us will lose weight during puasa.
- Imsak nak makan apa?Depends on how much time you have la. For me, I look for something quick, easy dan makanan yang membekalkan tenaga yang berterusan - complex foods. Jadi saya biasanya makan, wholewheat cereal, susu dan banyak minum air.
- I will train during ramadhan?Yup. Biasanya I'll stop training to rest etc, tetapi tahun ini saya akan terus workout dan main futsal tetapi not as much la....probably 1-2 kali seminggu.
Malaysian Gym or Fitness Center Review
Looking to join a gym in Malaysia?
Yeah, some of you have been asking me for advice on which gym to join in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor or Malaysia. I have been to most mainstream gyms in and around KL and always wanted to write a quick Malaysian gym review post based on my personal experience.
But first, how to choose a gym
Before I'll info the gym reviews, the following are some quick tips (more in my book) on how to choose a gym:Read more
Overweight And Obesity Among Malaysians
Following is a news release by the Malaysian Health Ministry. I found it through Warkah.com.
The recent statement by the Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai that overweight and obesity among Malaysians needs urgent attention again illustrates public ignorance on the problem.

Abs or Water? Getting rid of excess water?
What is water retention?
Ever heard to water retention? Yup, other than storing fat, excess water retention (takungan air badan berlebihan) can make you look soft as well, especially an issue once you have managed to reduce your body fat and "still" dont look as toned as you envisioned, ah yes vanity rules hahaha.
Water or fat: How to tell the difference?
You can do a lil pull test. Just grab a nice layer of fat (you tummy would be a good idea), and pull. Water will tend to wobble more than fat will over the abs tetapi susah jugak to identify sekiranya you have lots of fat (salah nisbah nanti). But typically, reducing water retention becomes relavant once your body fat percentage hits below 15%.
Malaysia, Germany and the Beijing Olympics 2008
Malaysian Failure
I think it really is no surprise that Malaysia, so far, has yet to collect a single medal in Beijing! Why? Coz our overall sports development system is very very sad and selagi kita tidak berubah, kita tidak akan melahirkan world class athletes secara konsisten. Sampai bila nak harapkan badminton or bowling?
When you flip through the paper, you always see pictures of foreign athletes training or competing. With Malaysian athletes, its usually of them meeting with some VIP, Minister or agung. How is that relavant!? Too much politics?
