I was having some conversation with friends and it is always from these conversations that we realized the many AHA moments.
This brings me to an interesting observation. I am always surprised why many people pay few hundreds a month in fitness club membership to burn their fats or calories when they can do it free or better still, charge a fee.
We operate a small storage business in Singapore and as you know, many people in Singapore are too busy working and prefer totally handsfree service when it comes to moving and storing their household items. They prefer some logistic vendor to come over their residence to dismantle their beds, TV, study table, for them, wrap the mattress and other fragile items and help move for them.
Although we started with storage only services, it gives me an idea to extend moving services and this is a healthy business for us. It provides me an opportunity to explore different parts of Singapore, have regular exercise by carrying boxes/furniture (10-30kg) and walking up and down steps as well as stacking it into our storage.
The most wonderful part about this is, I am forced and paid to exercise. ……. although some customers looks puzzled why a middle age Chinese Singaporean will want to do this.
Although many will argue this is not a full gym routine, it is still a good form of exercise for a fee, isn't it.
The 2nd observation and discussion with a regular Gym goer makes us wonder, why our power stations in Singapore never consider building a fitness center for power generation where the stationery bicycles and track mills can be attached to some power generators to convert all these gym workouts into clean energy with different difficulty level.
Can you imagine if every of our hdb/condo flats has a fitness club where it encourages residents to exercise and they can get some free credit if they clock enough miles in generating electricity for the common area of the flats/condo.
Government need not spend tons of monies on health campaigns as the motivation to exercise to enjoy reward is there.
Hopefully it can be implemented in a very near future.
