Media Release: Folks Get a Perfect Combo of Fitness & Fun at the NU Mall Walker

NU Sentral Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur Sentral, 23 April 2015 – 72 NU Mall Walkers had a blast showing off their dance moves and grooves in an energizing Zumba session at the NU Mall Walker held at NU Sentral Shopping Centre last Sunday, 19 April 2015.

Exclusively organised by NU Sentral Shopping Centre in association with Celebrity Fitness, the NU Mall Walker is a morning mall walking workout where participants get a chance to roam within the compounds of the spacious mall before its opening hours.



The event started off with stretches as warm up at NU Sentral Centre Court where participants engaged in a 15 minute full-body stretching exercise under the directive of a Celebrity Fitness Instructor. They consequently embarked on their mall walking journey towards NU Sentral’s Skypark located at the top floor of the 9 storey shopping centre.

An energetic Zumba session followed soon after at the mall’s rooftop venue giving participants an enjoyable outdoor fitness experience under the sunny morning sky. NU Sentral Skypark is a spacious rooftop open-air venue which boasts a whopping 14,400 sq. ft. of space with 0.3 acre of roof garden perfect for a dance party providing the best combination of fitness and fun under the sun.



The participants had an entertaining time during the Zumba session, boogying and prancing to great music as they followed the groovy dance moves of a Celebrity Fitness Zumba Instructor, Sunny Cheong. Giggles and cheerfulness filled the air as the Instructor swayed his hips and made quirky dance moves amid the blaring sounds of the upbeat music.

With participation from kids as young as six years old to the elderlies in their sixties, the NU Mall Walker not only provided participants with the walking exercise they need but also allowed them to let loose, have fun and dance their calories away. Apart from that, the NU Mall Walker also allowed participants to socialize, make new friends and create comradeship. Participants were each given a goodie bag and a variety of shopping vouchers after the event.

The event were also graced by local rock band Mad August, 8TV quickie host, Gary Yap and singer and host, Victor Lee. Centrally located next to KL Sentral, NU Sentral is easily accessible via the public transit lines which means people can get to the mall without driving, although there is plenty of parking for those who drive.



“I had a lot of fun walking around the mall during the NU Mall Walker. The NU Sentral Skypark is splendidly beautiful and I enjoyed getting sweaty and dancing to the beat of the music during the Zumba session” said local blogger Kifli Mally who were one of the participant of the NU Mall Walker.

“I am thrilled to see the turnout at NU Sentral’s first Mall Walker today. Specially organized to promote a fun, simple and safe fitness program, the NU Mall Walker is a perfect combo of fitness & fun under the bright morning sun. I hope everyone had a ball roaming around the mall and dancing to the music, NU Sentral style!”, said Zetty Rahim, General Manager, MRCB Group Retail Asset Development.

Review: Keen Uneek , Open Air Footwear

Uneek is pronounced unique. It is also KEEN U spelled backwards. Love the wordplay there. Heheh! It is a new innovative sandal by KEEN which is like its name suggests, unique.



It’s nothing like what we have ever seen or worn before. Using innovative two cord construction, it is said UNEEK is able to mould to your feet for the perfect fit.



Unlike conventional shoes, UNEEK is devoid of traditional process of shoe-making like stitching, gluing and welding. The construction is simple – two cords weaved together to a lightweight sole.

The cords are made of braided polyester with nylon core for increased strength. The free-moving cord junction design allows the upper to move and adapt to the shape of foot.



The lightweight PU midsole delivers durability and comfort while the non-marking rubber outsole with razor siping for improved ground traction.



The sandal is made for the outdoors, so it is not afraid of getting wet! We took our pair to the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park yesterday to try it out for the first time. There was a lot of walking done as we were there for the Sunway Lagoon Walk and Hunt competition.



The sandal is easy to put on and very comfortable. It had the support of the traditional shoes and the free moving cords on the hold the foot perfectly.



You can adjust the tightness using the flexible bungy cord on top of the sandal. Once we had them one, we are ready to take up the challenges in the park.



We walked every terrain that is available in Sunway Lagoon. We climbed stairs, hiked the jungle trail, wondered through the newly opened zoo, strolled on the suspension bridge and of course, jumped into the water at the largest man-made beach in the country.



UNEEK performed brilliantly on land and water! It is the airiest sandal, we have ever tried on. Once we were out from the water, we do not have to take them off to drain the excess water. The sandal dries off quite fast too. After Sunway Lagoon, we went shopping in Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre and by the time we got home, in a few hours later, the sandal is completely dry!



We have no negative feedback for this sandal. Be it outdoor in the woods or urban setting like water theme parks, UNEEK shines with comfort and style. It is so comfortable, you would want to wear it anywhere – a trip to the mall, running errands, picnic in the park etc.



Uneek is available starting first week of May in these three outlets only - Urban Adventure: Mid Valley Megamall, World of Sports: The Gardens Mall & e@Curve Damansara.

Price:
RM479 per pair (male), RM459 per pair (female)

Colours:
- For Men (Black/Blue Danube) & Black
- For Women (Dahlia Mauve/Camellia Rose) & (Capri/Spectra Yellow)

Nipples Bleed When You Run? Here are the Cause, Treatments and Preventions.

Nipple bleeding is real, people! You have probably seen your fellow runner struggling with it in a race (see above pic) or experienced it as a newbie before. Two streaks of blood running down your shirt from your nipples is not a pleasant sight! And horror of horror, it stings like hell too, especially when you shower after the run!

When men run, their nipples are constantly rubbing against the fabric of their shirt. Over the course of a long run (21km and above), this sensitive area can be rubbed to the point of bleeding. Because women wear tight-fitting sports bras, this shouldn't be a problem for them.

Various methods for treatment include applying an antiseptic cream to reduce the chances of bacterial infection and then slapping a plaster on it to prevent further irritation to the skin.

The preventions of bleeding nipples are simple. You can try one of these methods:

1) Put a plaster over each nipple before going for your run.

2) Smear some lubricant like Vaseline, BodyGlide to reduce the friction in the area prone to chaffing.

3) Avoid wearing a new vest for your long run. “Season” or wear it a few times first.

4) Avoid cotton shirt. Cotton keeps moisture in. This causes the soggy fabric to shifts back and forth. Switch to a synthetic sweat-wicking fabric to pull the moisture away from the skin.

5) Go topless. But then again, you are exposed to the sun and risks sunburn. Don’t forget to apply sunblock. Heheh!
