Cara untuk betulkan postur badan
kevin cmne nak betulkan postur badan? ramai kata saya bongkok..?
Ini soalan daripada salah seorang yang email saya baru2 ini. Jawapannya partially lies in weight training (with proper posture). Why?Latihan weight training untuk bahagian belakang forces you to strengthen the back muscles, bringing your shoulders back and secara tidak langsung, helps you to look more confident and berdiri lebih tegak.
But lets look at some asas-asas postur:
Apakah ayng menyebabkan postur yang tidak betul
- Poor habits (slouching etc)
- Obese
- Otot yang lemak (tidak dapat menakung your weight)
- Mengandung
- Kasut timut tinggi (yes for you girls out there)
- Otot tegang (lack of flexbility)
- Banyak duduk depan PC
Keperluan untuk mendapatkan postur yang baik?
Jadi what do you need for good body posture?
- Kekuatan asas otot
- Flexiblity in your muscles
- Core balance (not just strong abs but strong lower back also)
- Kesedaran..supaya you have the awareness to make changes, jika perlu
What exercise?
Well sudah tentu, semua otot besar memainkan peranan yang postur (daripada kaki hinggi ke leher) but yang penting adalah your core muscles. Kekuatan otot "core" adalah bahagian depan (iaitu abs) dan bahagian bawah belakang (your lower back). So my advice is generally:
- Latihan abs
- Latihan untuk bahagian bawah belakang seperti (hyperextensions)
- Overall back exercise seperti lat pulldown to promote an erect upper body
SPM 2008 – Whats Happening To Our Education System
I write about this every but every year it annoys me more and more......oh yes people its SPM time. And of course:
- "5.2% increase in number of students obtaining straight As" (TheStar)
- "SPM: Azali Azlan dapat 21 A"(Utusan Malaysia)
....the value of an "A" in Malaysia's SPM is a joke....it has no value.
Pendidikan Malaysia Hari Ini
I feel its very sad....menyedihkan. All the system is concerned bout is academic performace. How is it measured? Simply by how many A's or where one is ranked among kawan-kawan setingkatan. Read more

McDonald's 100% Fish Ad - Calorie Guide?
I was just watching Americon Idol (hahaha) and saw McDonald's latest Filet-O-Fish ad.
Why bother about the ad? .....Well its not specifically directed at McD but how companies, especially fast food marketing phrases make the average Joe think "...hey, this must be healthy.."...but is it?
...savvy fast food marketing phrases make the average Joe think "...hey, this must be healthy.."...but is it?...
McDonalds Calorie Guide
Download it here. I grabbed this from McD itself. They prepared a calorie guide for all their foods etc. Very useful to have....but useless if you don't know how to read it and most important, make sense of it. Need guidance? Buy my book :D
"Our Filet-O-Fish is 100% Fish"
Hmmm 100% fish...what does it mean? We all know breaded fish fillet...like fish fingers etc diperbuat dengan bread crumbs, eggs, flour etc....so sure they use 100% ikan.....hmmm but is there such a thing as 50% ikan? hahahah ikan is ikan la.
Is the Filet-O-Fish going to help kurangkan berat badan? Don't count on it lah. Generally fast foods are loaded with calories.
What is fattening about fast foods?
Hmmm not everything but a lot lah...usually its the yummy stuff that will "kill" you ;) Generally its the following that is definitely not going to help you lose weight:
...Did you know that 1 tablespoon of Mayo contains lebih kurang 90 calories!...
- Mayonnaise - Did you know that 1 tablespoon contains lebih kurang 90 calories! Thats a lot
- French Fries
- Daging burger - minced meat (walaupun 100% beef) is full of lemak (fat). Its the fat that makes it juicy and tasty!
- Sodas - Sugar Sugar Sugar
Do I eat at McD or other fast foods?
Of course :D.....it tastes good.....but I don't frequent the places are religiously as some people i know ;).....but bila I pergi to McD pun, this is what I do:
- Mayonnaise - I'll ask for No Mayonnaise. They will do it for you....kalau tidak I'll ask them to tukar.
- French Fries - ok lah too good to resist but I takkan order yang besar....never "Super Size"!
- Daging burger - I usually go for lean meat like grilled chicken burger atau fried chicken breast.
- Sodas - Either no drink or diet coke....this saves me some 150+ calories alone.

Nak Buat Senaman Apa Di Gym?
The following is a question from Ijan, a fellow gua.com.my member.
There is a gym near my house .. but i'm not sure what to try out first at the gym .. can you give me some advice?
Thanks Ijan for sharing your question and concern. It’s a good concern to have sebab ramai yang mengunjungi gym sebenarnya often don’t know what to do … the result? Mereka hanya membuang masa. If there’s one thing to remember when you exercise is this: Pentingkan kualiti senaman berbanding kuantiti.

Apa dia "Amalkan 5M"?
Penat cari online but tak jumpa penerangan tentang 5M. Kenapa saya nak tahu? Coz esok I'll be attending a forum organized by UKM Bangi yang bertajuk "Kempen Makan Secara Sihat, Amalkan 5M".
Selepas cari online....still tak jumpa penerangan tentang maskud 5M
So untuk persiapan, nak jugak tahu what exactly is Amalkan 5M...what does 5M stand for?
All I found is this:
Makan, Mandi, Membuter, Main, Multiply....is it? Hahahaha "membuter" bukan a bad thing ke?
Just find it funny that this is a kempen daripada Kementrian Kesihatan but I cannot find the info when searching online.
