In this episode, workout hacks.
So here's a...
Here's a really nifty trick for those of you who love going out running
and you don't have any pockets in your workout gear.
And you want to carry a key.
Untie your shoelace.
Put your key in the shoelace.
Put your key...
Thread your shoelace through the key?
Perhaps is the correct English?
Thread the shoelace in your key just like this.
Thread your shoelace back out and tuck your key in the shoelaces.
And then tie your shoe as per normal.
Really simple and easy.
And it's not gonna fall out.
If you're very stingy and wanna save all your money and you don't wanna buy a phone armband
here's a really cool hack you can use instead of spending money.
All you need is an old sock. Preferably a long sock would be great and some scissors.
And that's it.
Cut along the heel because all you need is this part here.
Once you cut your sock, put your arm through it.
Fold it up into half.
Grab your phone and just slide it into the pocket.
And there you go. An armband phone holder.
And it doesn't slip out.
Save money lah!
And recycle.
Now some of you may experience this when you're working out especially when running.
When you got your earphones in your ear,
and you're running and it starts to fall out.
So here's a really simple hack to keep them in your ears.
All you need is two twisty ties
tie it at the end of the earphone just like this.
So once you twisted the twisty tie around your earphones,
put your earphones in your ear like this.
Once there, you wrap it around your ear...
like this.
And it's just like that really easy and it will stay there for as long as you keep it there.
Oh my head...
It is in there baby.
It has not moved...
at all.
Now if you want to keep your shoes in the gym bag but you don't want your things getting all dirty,
Well here is a rather simple hack.
All you need is a shower cap people.
So I think it's pretty easy.
Open up the shower cap like this.
Grab your shoes.
Clearly I wear this shoes a lot.
Put the shower cap over your shoes like this.
And there you have it. A nice little cover for your shoes so it protects everything in your bag.
Boom!
Did you know that there are different ways to tie your workout shoes?
Now if you find that your shoe is falling off the heel of your foot,
here's a really cool way to tie it.
Take the shoelace out of the first hole.
Thread it back through the hole on same side like this.
Same thing on the other side.
And then all you have to do is tie your shoe per normal.
So that actually gives you a better fit and prevent your heel from slipping out your shoe.
For this one if you have very uncomfortable shoes say for example
you have wide feet and it gets a little bit tight in certain areas...
there is a way to tie your shoe to make it more comfortable for you.
Let's say for example,
this area is where it's kind too tight and you want it to be a little bit loose.
Take out the lace to the area where it's too tight.
You wanna grab your shoelace.
Shoelaces coming out of this hole
and you want to thread it on the same side.
Same goes on the other side.
So after you've done that, just go ahead and tie your shoe as you normally would.
This on this side...
This side would be here...
And so on and so forth.
So as you can see this is where the gap is
so it's now a little bit more loose to where it was tight before.
And it's a lot more comfortable.
This one's for all you people who have stinky shoes,
especially if you got stinky workout shoes.
All you need are some tea bags.
Ones that aren't used obviously.
Just put the tea bags in your shoes like this.
And that's it.
What the tea bags do it actually absorbs
all the stinky odour and leaves your sneakers smelling nice and fresh
just like tea.
So with this next one it's not actually a fitness hack.
But it is a great tip for you.
There was a time...that I used to have abs.
Now there're gone after I've turned 30...
There's this mid life spread
and it's out of control.
Just can't help it. Just stick to eating air...
So if you're trying to losing weight, this app what it does
it helps you keep track of your calories.
And when you're keeping track of your calories, you tend to not eat as much as you would normally .
It is called "MyFitness Pal".
You wanna key in all the different foods you eat throughout the day.
And it will calculate how many calories you are consuming.
So let's say for example you weight a 100kg and you want to weight 80kg.
So your goal is to lose 20kg
and then the app will tell you how many calories you can eat per day.
It's telling me that I can only eat 1560 calories a day.
After that I've gotta add in all the food that I've eaten.
I'm gonna add breakfast - a latte.
This database has a lot a lot of things.
For lunch - lontong.
And then it says Singapore hawker. See they even got lontong.
And for dinner...let's just do a bag of chips.
Which I've got here.
I'm salivating.
Oh my god.
So let's say I'm too lazy to write the details of that.
You can actually scan the barcode.
So I'm gonna push the little barcode scanner on the top right hand corner.
Scan the code.
Rich Beef Chilli Guiness Chips.
Say that five times fast.
So I've got 776 calories left that I can eat.
And there you have it. A really useful tip to lose weight.
This one is another little tip.
I can't concentrate with all these food here.
Another tip is to place a weighing scale right in front of your pantry.
That will probably stop you from diving so fast into it.
You don't anyhow.
Look at me. Don't look at that.
Anyway it's telling me I shouldn't do that.
And we've come to the end of yet another episode.
Some of you may or may not know I've actually started designing our own merchandise.
Check it out at tandemmerch.com
Now if you've been on tandemmerch you will notice that the zipper bags sold out very very fast.
So good news to all of you.
The bag is back in stock but there are limited quantities.
These are the Tenzen zipper tote bags.
And I've just launched a new item.
The travel kit.
Now why I design this is because I travel all the time
and who doesn't need a good traveling kit right?
It comes in a nice tin.
It's not a cheapo one. It's hardcore.
I feel like I'm doing an infomercial.
Anyway inside this you'll get a lovely letter from me.
There's a secret pouch. Not telling you what's in there.
So I've spent a lot of time designing these stickers so I'm very proud I've levelled up a little bit i guess.
So this is what it looks like, there's all kinds of stuff in there.
All the essentials you need for traveling.
So go check out tandemmerch.com if you wanna get your hands on this
and then find out what else I've designed.
