It is almost the weekend, but we will be missing our Painful Sunday this week as it falls on a public holiday. Nevertheless, we can take time to reflect on last week’s training, and individual members can still push themselves for improvement during their own personal time.
Last Sunday (24 May), while most of our members were recuperating from the Dragon Boat Sprint race held on Friday and Saturday, a small group of about 14 members decided to continue training. Kudos to them for the effort.
We took the opportunity to focus on synchronisation and experiment with different strategies for the 200m distance. We were excited to discover a combination that significantly improved our timing by 10 seconds!
Alongside this newly discovered strategy, we believe success still comes down to the fundamentals of explosive arm strength. Therefore, we reminded members not to neglect their burpees, push-ups, interval sprinting, and weight training.
We will resume Painful Sunday on 7 Jun 2026. Following that, on 14 Jun 2026, we will celebrate The Fitness League 9th Anniversary, and this year, we are bringing back the “Boat Camp”!
Long-time members will surely remember the intense fitness challenge. It is an amalgamation of The Amazing Race, Running Man, and dragon boating. We look forward to celebrating this milestone together with fellow members. Meanwhile, stay healthy and keep training!
