Sleep Problems - You May Have Sleep Apnea

When I say “Sleep Apnea” do you automatically associate it with overweight men who snore? I did. Which is why I was shocked when I was diagnosed with it. Sleep apnea is abnormal breathing whilst sleeping where someone will stop breathing for periods of time. There are 2 kinds of sleep apnea. The first is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) where the airway is blocked and this is the most common. Then there is the less common Ce ntral Sleep Apnea (CSA)where your brain has a dysfunction in controlling breathing muscles which could cause shallow breathing. I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Sleeping Problems I always thought that I was just a “bad sleeper”. ....

Why Pilates Matters for Women

Last time, we talked about strength–why it matters, how to build strength generally through weight training, and how it benefits us, women. If you haven’t read it yet, you can read it here . We also mentioned how lifting weights won’t magically transform you into an extremely muscular Amazon warrior (it takes a lot of time and discipline to get to that level!). But if weight training isn’t your cup of tea–don’t fret. While weight training is one of the obvious ways to build strength, it isn’t the only way to build strength. Yup. That’s right. There are numerous ways for you to build strength without having to grab a pair ....

5 Ways To Move And Close Your Apple Activity Rings

We all know we need to move more. So why are we still struggling? I wear an Apple Watch and an Oura Ring. Between the two of them, they remind me to move. The Oura ring has an activity goal of me burning 300 calories a day. It “talks” to my Apple Watch when I do an activity. Closing my rings and meeting my Oura activity goals gives me a little shiver of delight! And, it keeps me accountable. Apple Rings The Apple Activity app has 3 rings. Movement (red), Exercise (green) and standing (blue). When I received my Apple watch I noticed immediately that it did not track steps. I guess that’s because it recognises that people can “move” in different ....

Why Strength Matters For Women

Many have grown up with a distorted body image of what is healthy and what is beautiful. Many women believe that lifting weights will transform them to some sort of an Amazon with gargantuan muscular physique — First of all, that is also beautiful. But most importantly, to reach that type of physique requires purpose, commitment and intention! Why is strength important? This is a question a number of women are confronted with when they start their fitness journey. A study published by St. John Fisher College by Alexandra Rohloff stated that many women consider weight training or resistance training, usually the basis of strength, a masculine activity. ....

What Women Need To Know About Heart Disease

I incorrectly thought Breast Cancer was the #1 disease that kills women. Turns out, it’s not the breast. I had breast cancer. My mother died from breast cancer. So, for a long time, I assumed that breast cancer was the leading cause of death in women. It was only when I was asked to do an ad for an insurance company in Singapore - where they had three breast cancer survivors tell our stories - the big reveal was that actually, breast cancer was not the number one killer. Heart disease was. In Singapore, in America, and in developed countries. So with February being Heart Awareness Month in America I decided to dig a little bit deeper. Heart Attack ....

Why FitNut Loft Exists

5 years ago, I had just recovered from my final bout of chemo, when I chanced upon a tiny space that was being vacated. I thought - is this my calling? Should I open my own studio? Prior to getting breast cancer in 2015, I was working as a part time pilates instructor for another studio in Singapore. I was a busy mum and wife, always on the go juggling the demands of this life I created. But in September, just a month before my cancer diagnosis, I was already entertaining ideas of having my own space. I was feeling antsy, and thought there was so much more I could do to help others without having to answer to a Boss. And it went far beyond just doing pilates. But when ....
