I do HIIT 3 times a week and walk 5kms twice a week.

Enough exercise for me.


If you don't stretch extensively then hio ndio kitu unaeza need kuongeza.


I too do HIIT on Mon, Wed & Fri mornings. With no any other exercise apart from StanChart Marathon Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

I would want to build an active regime around my day-to-day activities. Like avoiding lifts, walking rather than driving. But that discipline is...d'oh! d'oh!

Stretching is a must....10 minutes after HIIT and 5 minutes after walking.

Speaking of avoiding lifts, haaaaai!! Jana I had a meeting in CBD and unfortunately the ka-office was in one of those old buildings. You know the ones. They have an inscription "Jagdesh House..1914" or whatever. Always pale blue or white and coated with thick CBD dust on the copings. Window panes have been painted over a zillion times to the point they have an unsightly crust that observes of antique buildings would describe as "having a special charm" just to mask its raw unpleasantness. Haiya, lift does not stop at 1st floor so you have to tembea juu. Auuii..steep as a nonsense stairs that strangely go four flights just to get to first floor. My usually well conditioned legs were on fire by the time I fikad the top. Bottom line, I need to keep going back to that building every time I am in CBD to get a quick 5 minute leg workout!

Yesterday was walking day in Nairobi. Parked at Junction and walked to and from CBD. 16KM. Ngong road has some of the best pedestrian paths in Nairobi.

It was hilarious seeing the tormented faces of physically unfit guys walking.

Boss,unless you are under 6ft tall seems you are aspiring to be blown away by the wind! 70kg is "skele" territory, Jameni. I can barbell bench the equivalent of two of you easy at that weight. But if you are 5 ft tall then it makes sense.

Kilimani to Westlands ring road/bypass also has some of the best foot and bike paths built. A delight to use on cool evenings!
