Trying to burn tummy fat can be a difficult thing to do! It seriously is!
The mainstream idea of how to burn tummy fat involves eating a small amount of calories combined with doing lots of crunches everyday. This is absolutely not true and is ineffective.
If you have ever tried this approach, you have almost undoubtedly found yourself to have slow results.
Doing lots of crunches might help you gain core strength, but it will not help to "spot reduce" your tummy. Spot reduction is a common myth that if you want to lose fat in a certain area, you do so by working the muscle underneath it.
You can never lose fat from just a part of your body. If you gonna do it, its gonna be from all over your body. And trust me, the tummy will be last part it would become visible that you are losing
fat.
To get fat out of your body, you need to a total body workout. Yea, exercise everypart of your body to get all muscles working. The more it works, the more calories your body will burn. Try and do about 300 Calories 4-5 times a week. Its pretty easy, 1/2 hour of running on the Tread Mill would do the trick.
Lift some wieghts before you do your cardio. Coz it would help you burn more calories coz your muscles are already worked up.
Some of these execercises are pretty good they say:
1. Inverted pushups
2. Lunges
3. Seated row
4. Hamstring leg curls on a stability ball
5. Ab crunches on a stability ball
6. Med ball squat, curl, and press
We you really ought to know that you can't eat tons of steaks, fries and other junk food and still expect to get thin! If you really wanna eat, you should do about 1000 Calories 4-5 times a day... hehe
Try it out and let me know whats better and whats not!
P.S: This post contains stuff that I have read from other articles!

How to enjoy a cheap night out in a cool club in Singapore?
Many people here could love clubbing, but can't do it too often coz of the cost involved. I mean I love to club and I visit clubs very often. Many of the places I go include OO, St. James, Zouk etc.
These places can turn out to be expensive if you visit too frequently. But yea, if you are smart, I'm sure you could adopt the following strategies to make your visit cheap :)
1) You wanna get seriously drunk and have some fun
Place to go: Double O, Entrance is usually 20 Bucks, but even Vodka Redbull costs just SGD 14 bucks here!
2) You wanna listen to great music with a great music system and a good DJ
Place to go: St. James Power Station, PowerHouse.
If you are a girl, go on Wednesdays. Perhaps a little early so that you can go home early as well. Gather as many friends as you can. The club provides 5 free drinks for every chic who gets in on Wednesdays. Guys, you could go on Wednesdays too, just try to bring along some girls with you if you can. If they don't drink you could get them to get you those free drinks!
And yea, if you could make it before 10 PM, you can enter free as well. Plus happy hour rates gives you a jug of housepour for just 14 bucks. Vodka redbull not included though.
Plus, if you wish to really save money, don't take a cab home, use the SMRT Night Rider service. Trust me, its very fast (Since there is almost no traffic) and it covers almost all the places. Esplanade is the point where all NR service bus comes, so you could change bus here if you cant get a direct bus home.
It would just cost you 3$ to get back home!
So on a Wednesday if you are a guy and you go with a girl to St. James powerhouse before 10 PM, you get
1) Free Entry
2) Five Free Drinks
3) A jug for SG$ 14 bucks if you buy before 10 PM
And ride back home for S$ 3!

Why is Singapore a Cool Place?
Singapore in unique in it's very own way. I'm sure many people think that this place can be boring. But I would strongly disagree to that. After all being such a small place it still offers us so much.
It's Clean!
First and formost, its by far the cleanest country I have seen or heard of. No one can deny the fact that we seldom see or feel the rough of thrash and dirt all over the places where you live, work and play. Every patch of land here has been painted green with the grass. It is a good feeling after all right? The amount of effor placed to achieve this is definetly applaudable.
It's Happening!
The night life of Singapore is amazing. For the people who knows where to go can always find the place that suits their mood and nature. The new clubs that open in town is always a hit attraction to many. Sustaining crowds can be seen at many places. Not just nightlife, but even the regular life is cool in a sense. The gyms are buffed with new equipments and great music, the saloons are fabulous in looks and delivery, the restaurants are amazing as well!
It's Mouth Watering!
The food is the best here. You get a blend from all countries and places. Which makes it one of the foremost reason I decided to make this place my home. The news papers write weekly about great places to dine for taste and pleasure. It doesn't need a further statement to believe that you get the best of Asia right here in Singapore.
Ofcourse there is more...
But I will write about them in another post soon :)
Have fun guys!

Membership contracts
Have you ever joined any clubs or fitness centers in Singapore lately?
I would recommend you to read the contractual terms very carefully before joining them.
It is almost certain that there would be some traps in the contract which would make you pay more than what is expected. They may not terminate your membership even after making the request for cancellation. Such cases has been blogged about in Singapore against clubs like California Fitness, True Yoga etc.
A couple of court cases in U.S. which has been won against such clubs (24 Hour Fitness, the parent of California Fitness in Singapore) are cited below:

Search through google about the club you wish to join before making the decision!
