Some exercises never get old—like the lunge (also known as the warrior pose). Why? Because it’s a natural human movement. You use it when stepping across a drain or pothole (and there are plenty in this part of the world!), hiking in the jungle, or navigating uneven ground.
Unfortunately, modern city living doesn’t give our bodies much of that stimulation. Most surfaces are flat, predictable, and comfortable. Over time, we lose some of the strength and mobility that these movements require.
That’s where lunges come in. Regularly practicing lunges helps build strength and stability while restoring hip flexibility—keeping your body ready for the real world. 💪🌿

Michael was the true star ⭐ of this year’s TwinCity Marathon.
It was his first full marathon, and he finished well ahead of the COT (7 hours 13 minutes).
At 79 years old, he is the oldest visually-impaired runner to complete a full marathon in Malaysia.,,😎
What amazed me most was how injury-free and resilient he was throughout training and on race day. Not even a runner’s toe! Two days after the marathon, he turned up to class in his finisher’s tee as if nothing had happened — no soreness, no fatigue. Truly impressive.
I’ve known and taught Michael for over 12 years, first yoga and then Stretch Therapy. When he started, he had a shoulder injury (and other aches) and wasn’t fully convinced the practice would help. Today he moves with mastery and confidence.
Our part in his journey is small compared to his own dedication. His success isn’t just grit or willpower — it’s consistency. For 12 years he kept showing up: Stretch, yoga, spin, running. Even during COVID lockdown, he ran fire exit stairs daily alone and joined online classes. Slowly but surely, he built resilience.
A big shoutout to Adrian JY Yeo, his guide runner and training partner for the past 6 months, and to Ultraman Kannan for his training and nutrition guidance.
Michael, you are a giant of inspiration to us all. ,,,💪💪
