Elson Soh at Urban Fitness Lab

I'm proud to announce that I have officially started my workout regime with Urban Fitness Lab! I'm currently working out using the Power Plate, which enhances the workout performance by the use of vibrations.

This is the Power Plate machine that I'm using now.

A usual workout regime lasts about an hour. Your personal trainer will customize your workout according to your ability and body needs. My trainer is Tanuja, a very friendly lady!

Before I start every exercise, Tanuja will demonstrate the right way to do it! This is the "Push Up" exercise routine.

After which is my turn! She will guide me through the proper steps.

This is the first time I'm exercising using the Power Plate machine and I can say it is really different as compared to the usual gym that I go to. Moreover working out using the Power Plate also increases the effectiveness of the workout.

Basically the benefits of working out using the Power Plate machine includes:

• Improve muscle strength and performance
• Increase flexibility and range of motion
• Enhance critical blood flow throughout the body (oxygenation and lymph drainage)
• Increase secretion of hormones that are important in regeneration and repair processes, such as HGH (Human Growth Hormone), IGF-1, and testosterone.
• Increase bone density Increase of the happiness hormone serotonin and neurotrophine, a substance that supports our thinking process.
• Decrease cortisol levels
• Rehabilitate injuries and ailments
• Enhance explosive strength
• Enhance conventional training results
• Speed training recovery
• Accelerate weight loss
• Reduce lower back pain
• Enhance pain reduction
• Improve collagen production
• Reduce appearance of cellulite
• Eliminate the effects of stress

Urban Fitness Lab

Headed down to Urban Fitness Lab today at Boat Quay to learn more about their services. I was greeted by their friendly instructor (who coincidentally is going to be mine) Tanuja and their pretty manager Patsy.

I did some tests and checks and realized that some part of my body isn't as healthy as I thought it was, like certain areas have more fats than muscles etc. But I'm so glad I will soon be able to enjoy the services of Urban Fitness Lab. It's time to shape up myself!

Friendly family of Urban Fitness Lab

Soon you will be seeing me in this pose! Haha.

I'm proud to be their 1st celebrity friend to be shaped up by Urban Fitness Lab. What's more, I will be the first celebrity in Asia to use the Real Ryder machine! Omg. Cool enough.

So the first session will be on Thursday morning. I hope I do well to lose those unwanted fats. Hehe.

Wish me luck! (",)
