Personal trainer singapore testimonial
1)
In June 2008 I signed up a gym member with the then Planet Fitness as i felt that i had to do something to improve my overall fitness. As I was a relatively lethargic and physically unfit person, i decided to engage a personal trainer(PT) to help me in my exercise regime. I was introduced to Ting Voon Khean (aka Ting) as my Personal Trainer.
My initial physical condition was quite bad due to occupational hazard and sedentary lifestyle. I often experience stiff neck, shoulder and backache due to long hours and years of using the computer and inactive lifestyle. My objective of signing up with a personal trainer was to increase my fitness level and body toning.
Ting was effective in identifying my problem areas and customized exercises to target those problem areas. The exercises he tailored for me were varied and interesting so that I will not be bored with the same routine. Ting was a thoughtful and dedicated trainer, ensuring that all exercises were executed correctly so that I don't sustain any injury as a result. With much encouragement and professional guidance, I was able to subsequently complete the entire workout with ease. After a month of effective training under Ting, my physical condition improved tremendously. My back was stronger and i had gained more muscle strength and body more toned now. Not only did he help me with my workout program, he also advised me on nutrition and diet. I always look forward to every training session with Ting as he made it interesting and fun.
In conclusion, without the dedication and effective workout tailored by Ting, I would not have achieved my goal. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a professional personal trainer.
Best regards,
Ng Mui Boon (Ms)

It is my pleasure to recommend Ting Voon Khean as a personal fitness trainer and Nutrition Advisor. Ting has been my personal trainer for almost a year now, and he is the best personal trainer i have ever had. He has proved himself to be professional, reliable and trustworthly, and pleasant and friendly to exercise with.
I first met Ting when i joined a gym, aiming to lose weight and gain fitness. Despite my general laziness and lack of enthusiasm for exercise. he has managed to keep me motivated and i now feel stronger, fitter, and much healthier than before. He has built an exercise program tailored to my needs and goals, advised me on nutritional issues ( which has reduced my spots and dry skin) and keep varying the exercises each session do it doesn't get boring. He also listen to my mindless chatter, makes exercising easier with jokes and encouragement, and somehow makes the exercise time fly by.
Ting has a high standard of fluent English, and also speak Mandarin and Malay. He is easy to understand and is patient in listening carefully to my northern English accents, which is quite different from Singaporean accent. He has also been sympathetic to my needs as a women trying to exercise, and i have always felt comfortable with him and confident in his abilities to help me achieve my goals and protect me from injury.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions - it has been a pleasure to train with Ting and i recommend him highly. I look forward to training with him in the future if im able to return to Singapore.

How to reduce lower back pain
What can cause low back injuries?
Many things can cause low back injuries — muscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a "slipped disk." The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you're not used to, such as lifting heavy furniture or doing yard work. Unexpected events such as taking a fall or a car accident can also cause low back pain.
What can I do for relief when I've hurt my lower back?
The best position for relief when your back hurts is to lie on your back on the floor with pillows under your knees, with your hips and knees bent and your feet on a chair or just with your hips and knees bent. This takes the pressure and weight off your back.
You may need 1 to 2 days of this sort of rest for a hurt back. Resting longer than this can cause your muscles to weaken, which can slow your recovery. Even if it hurts, walk around for a few minutes every hour to help keep your back muscles strong.
What else can I do for relief?
Heating pads can help to relax painful muscle spasms. Use heat for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Ice packs and massages may also give relief. Nonprescription medicines that reduce pain and/or swelling include aspirin, acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol), naproxen (brand name: Aleve) and ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin).
Long term solution:
Strengthen your back muscle and also the lower part of the back.

What Causes Water Retention
Many different problems and conditions can cause edema (swelling due to fluid retention). Some causes involve lifestyle (diet, lack of exercise, alcoholism, occupations involving standing), some causes are hormone-related, especially in women, other causes are drug-related or the result of a serious medical condition. Here is a list of the most common causes of edema caused by water retention.
Eating Too Much Salt
Sodium intake is closely related to water retention and edema. Over consumption of salt is one of the commonest reasons why people retain excess fluid. Many experts tell patients with water-retention problems to eat fewer processed foods, add less salt when cooking and remove the salt shaker from the table. A good diet to follow is the DASH diet.
Gravity
Prolonged periods of standing often causes fluid to ‘pool’ in the tissues of the lower leg.
Hot Weather
During periods of high temperatures, the body is less efficient at removing fluid from its tissues.
Burns/Sunburn
When burn injuries occur, the skin reacts by retaining fluid and this causes localized swelling.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Edema
Women have an increased risk of water retention, due to the rise and fall of hormone levels. For example, the reduction in progesterone, in the week before menstruation, can cause fluid retention. Some experts believe the problem is related to abnormal fluctuations in blood sugar. Others believe it is sodium-related. When your blood breaks down progesterone in the run-up to menstruation, the kidneys are told to retain water and sodium. As well as this, a water-retaining compound (an anti-diuretic hormone) may be secreted, which causes more water to be retained. Diuretic treatment is not beneficial for edema related to PMS.
Contraceptive Medication Edema
The birth pill or any oral contraceptives that include estrogen can lead to fluid retention in some women. Weight gain (of up to 8 pounds) when first going on the pill is not uncommon.
Edema During Pregnancy
Hormones released in pregnancy encourage the body to hold onto excess fluid. Pregnant women typically retain a significant amount of sodium and water. Some of this excess fluid is needed by the fetus and placenta. Swelling in the face, hands, lower leg and feet is typically seen in pregnancy.
Menopause
Water retention, causing bloating and edema can occur in menopausal women either during perimenopause or post menopause. Hormone fluctuations and estrogen replacement therapy are two common culprits.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Dietary deficiency, like inadequate intake of vitamin B1 (thiamine) can cause fluid retention. Vitamins B6 and B5 also assist fluid dispersal. Low levels of protein (albumin) in the bloodstream may also cause edema.
Medication Side Effects
Water retention and edema may also be caused by drugs, such as high blood pressure medication (antihypertensives) and certain forms of steroid medications such as corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Medical Conditions
Fluid retention may be a symptom of a more serious underlying medical condition. Here are the most common examples:
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
In some patients, weak valves in the veins of the legs fail to return blood to the heart as efficiently as normal. The pooling of blood can result in varicose veins.
Chronic venous insufficiency may itself occur after the patient has experienced venous blood clots (deep vein thrombosis). Here, the swelling is usually limited to the lower extremities (feet/ankles) and may affect only the left or right side. Usually, other conditions cause swelling in both extremities.
Kidney Disease (Nephrotic syndrome and acute glomerulonephritis)
Kidney disease can cause swelling in the legs and around the eyes. It is the result of an increase in pressure in the blood vessels, caused by the kidneys failing to excrete a sufficient amount of sodium and fluid. The fluid left behind raises pressure on the blood vessel walls, which induces fluid to move from inside the blood vessel to outside, leading to edema.
Heart Failure (Congestive Heart Failure)
Heart failure can adversely affect the right hand chambers, whose function is to receive blood from the body and pump it to the lungs to be filled with oxygen, or the left heart chambers, which pump oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. If these chambers are unable to pump effectively, the body compensates by retaining fluid and increasing the volume of blood. This causes congestion of the veins, enlargement of the liver, and the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites) and in subcutaneous tissues, causing swelling in the legs. Typically, right heart failure, leads to swelling in the legs and abdomen, while left heart failure causes edema in the lungs, or pulmonary edema, leading to shortness of breath.
Liver Disease - Cirrhosis
Cirrhosis causes congestion in the liver which leads to an increase in pressure in the liver's blood vessels which backs into the blood vessels leading to the liver, causing ascites. This causes swelling in the abdomen, and in the feet or, if the patient is lying down most of the day, edema in the lower back (sacral edema).
Malignant Lymphoedema
This includes cancerous tumours that block structures of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes.
Thyroid Disease
An example is hypothyroidism, usually treated with thyroxine.
Arthritis
Arthritic joints may swell with fluid, causing localized edema.
Allergic Reactions
People who are susceptible to allergic reactions may experience edema in response to particular allergens (eg. wasp sting). In some cases, the reaction is severe (anaphylaxis) and requires immediate medical attention. This type of edema is short-lived.
Eating Too Much Salt
Sodium intake is closely related to water retention and edema. Over consumption of salt is one of the commonest reasons why people retain excess fluid. Many experts tell patients with water-retention problems to eat fewer processed foods, add less salt when cooking and remove the salt shaker from the table. A good diet to follow is the DASH diet.
