#KopiTalk with North West Fitness Enthusiasts
The kind of kopi I like best is … 3-in-1 coffee. However, for health purposes, I prefer to drink plain water and tea.
When I'm not working, I like to … exercise! Every weekday, I head straight to a fitness class after work. I attend various classes in the North West such as CrossFit and Fight Do.
The last time I used my CDC Voucher, I spent it on … food at my favourite hawker center, Long Ding Seafood at Kampung Admiralty Hawker Centre in the North West. With the CDC Vouchers, I've been frequenting the stall more often for their fresh seafood dishes!
I first got interested in CrossFit when … a friend of mine invited me to join the class with her. I had not done CrossFit then, but it seemed interesting, so I signed up immediately. I've not looked back since. I attend the class every Monday and it is my happy place!
My favourite thing about CrossFit class is … the energy you get from group exercise. You feel more motivated when you're exercising together with other people who are bursting with energy. I also like working with the different types of equipment in the class, such as the dumbbells and ropes. This lets you build up the muscles from different parts of your body.
As an avid CrossFitter, my top tips are … to take things step by step and more importantly, to never give up. Although it can be tough and tiring in the beginning, you'll gradually be able to build up your endurance and enjoy the health benefits!
我最喜欢的咖啡种类是… 我不喝咖啡，只喝茶或白开水。基于我是癌症病患者的缘故，我都会选择比较健康的饮料。
我在西北部最喜欢的地方是… 三巴旺公园! 我喜欢去那看看风景和走走，因为那里的景色和环境让我很放松。
我的超能力是... 非常独立和拥有敏捷的动作！能够快速地把家务做好，虽然我的丈夫在外地工作，但我也可以非常独立和勇敢地面对自己的病况。
课程中，最难忘的一次经历是… 课程中看到一些成员因为不太会运用运动器材而做出的一些可爱动作，非常的搞笑又可爱，这些画面对我来说特别的难忘。
会让我继续参与西北部混合健身课的动力是来自于… 专业教练的培训和教导，还有学员也非常的友善，而且还可以锻炼身体和维持建康，我会鼓励身边更多的朋友一起参与这些健康和免费的运动课程。
