Today, we live in a digital age where technological advances push for efficiency,
speed and quality. Hong Kong
residents , in particular, live a tense life and the chance of having regular physical
activity has decreased rapidly. As a result, people are susceptible to obesity, diabetes,
hypertension, heart disease, insomnia and many other ailments.
I strongly believe in the
benefits of regular physical exercises which help reduce suffering, personal
medical and social costs. I am committed to at least 30
minutes physical exercise for at least five days per week in order to enhance blood circulation,
strengthening cardiopulmonary functions and to help relieve stress.
I used to do a lot of running,
hiking and now am keen on swimming, sailing and dragon boat racing.
In the past, I won many trophies. Now, I've learned to let go of faded glory ( old trophies from road races and distance running ) without much fuss. Still, I keep my regular exercises.
It is nice to be sailing and out of contact once in a while....
