Riassunto

Singaporean workers hardly have time to exercise and observe a healthy diet. Work and family life robs them of their health and fitness. However, this need not be so. This self-help book is aimed at improving the quality of life through simple, achievable, and realistic means. Reverse the process of widening waistline and shortening breath with this book without signing up for expensive classes, fitness clubs, or equipment. Instead, learn to incorporate simple exercises, a healthy diet, and necessary rest into your daily routine so that it is sustainable. This book uses a four-pillar concept of value system, motivation, knowledge, and action, and through the unique "Dress Up" approach, health learning will be holistic, covering social and mental components, above and beyond just exercise and diet.

L'autore

Muhamad Hamim is a senior physical education teacher with the Ministry of Education, Singapore. He graduated from the School of Physical Education and Sports Science from the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University in 1993 with a diploma and taught in a primary school for six years. He then furthered his studies at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom where he graduated with second upper class honours. Following that, he taught at a secondary school and a junior college. He has been a teacher for twenty-one years. Health education is his passion and physical education for life is his personal motto. He has been on work attachments to the Health Promotion Board and Alexandra Hospital (Weight Management Centre) and has conducted talks, workshops, and presentations at schools, clusters, and national levels. He is married and has five school-going children. He is an avid triathlete and finds time to train regularly despite his busy career and family life. This was not the case previously where he led a largely sedentary lifestyle and didn't observe a healthy diet. His turning point came when he was in his midthirties. He was told that he had high cholesterol and had to take medication for the rest of his life. From that point onwards, he managed to turn around and change his lifestyle to a healthier one. It had a profound effect on not only him but the people around him. He made it a personal mission to share this joy to as many people as he knows, and he hopes by penning his method and sharing it, more people can experience the positive impact of a healthier lifestyle. He believes that balancing work and family life is possible and important.
