Alternative to jogging

For the past few days, I couldn’t go jogging in the morning due to the rain. So I skipped exercising.

Until today, when I thought that I couldn’t continue missing out on the exercise, lest my body back slides on its conditioning. So I slipped on the exercising gear again, and started my warm-ups even though the sky was grey. Alas, the sky decided to pour down its woes again.

That was when I realised the alternative to jogging. I did the stairs mastering! I found out that climbing stairs is a tougher exercise than jogging! After 5 floors, I was panting, my head was spinning and my legs were turning into jello. Climbing stairs seem to using a different group of muscles from jogging. Climbing down the stairs uses another different group. My legs didn’t feel so jello-like since I last climbed the Great Wall of China.

So there you have it. An alternative to jogging, which can cater to at least 75% of high-rise dwelling Singaporeans, come rain or shine. No more excuses! One day, Singaporeans’ butts will be able to rival the Brazilians!
