[Groaning]
- (PD) Hi guys! - Hello.
[Nervous laughter]
When I was a student, I was quite fit. Compared to now.
In primary school, I was not too bad. In secondary school,
At secondary 1 and secondary 4, I broke my leg.
Twice. So for 4 years, I didn't take my NAPFA test.
- Whoa! That's good! - Good?! I broke my leg in two!
I was quite an energetic soul in primary and secondary school. I was quite active.
But if you ask me, now... After army... Everything just went...
I became a lot more sedentary after stepping into the working world.
We spend a lot of time editing in front of the computer Most of the time, we are positioned like this.
I usually edit at night, so my sleeping patterns are horrible.
Sometimes I will edit till 3 AM and wake up at 9 AM.
It's during that time when I feel the most stressed. I feel stressed because of the lack of sleep.
I tend to binge eat. That's why I gained a lot of weight.
In primary and secondary school, you have lots of chances to exercise because you have PE, but now at this stage, we're getting pretty sedentary.
- Doesn't look like it though. - No, it's all a facade. No!
I got no abs. It's flabs.
Everything else was good, except for my standing broad jump. That was an 'E'.
I always failed because of that.
If I retake my NAPFA now, I might still fail. But my individual stations might fare a little better.
The best I got was a silver in Primary 6.
The only one I excelled in was sit and reach.
Sit ups... I cannot do them. Inclined pull ups... I cannot do that as well.
When I was a student, my NAPFA test scores were not bad.
- Gold lah. Just say. - 'Not bad'?!
That was last time! Pull ups - that's when I really struggle, because I don't really have upper body strength.
(PD) In this episode of Singaporeans Try, you guys will be retaking your NAPFA test.
(PD) Don't worry, guys, because before that, you will be undergoing some lifestyle changes with the help of your Fitbit Sense.
The Fitbit Sense is a watch that can detect and manage stress,
help you understand your sleep quality and even track patterns in your skin temperature.
It can also detect steps, floors climbed and how often you were in your active zone.
We should compete steps.
- I'll win. - You think you'll win, eh?
Since we're doing a competition, with this watch, I can also know when I'm inactive. "Hey! Not enough steps today."
Then I'll go out and run more.
Good morning. Today is Day 1 of attempting to stay fit and healthy for the NAPFA test.
Here I have some eggs and toast.
Hopefully these give me the energy I need for today.
My watch just reminded me to move...
I have been editing for the past 6 hours. I think it's time for me to start a bit of exercise.
My back is hurting.
[Groaning like an 80 year old woman]
I'm heading to Jurong Lake Gardens to hopefully run 2.4 KM.
Oh! SafeEntry.
Brisk walk... Brisk walk.
The floor is a bit wet. Gonna run a bit slower.
Today I clocked 5,200 steps and my heart rate is 144.
The Fitbit Sense tells you how long you've spent in each of the heart rate zones.
Fat Burn, Cardio and Peak - while doing your activities and exercises.
Hi guys. It's Day 1 of the challenge, and I'm honestly super scared to retake my NAPFA test,
because I haven't exercised for the longest time.
I'll be doing the 3-min Body Burn, which is available on Fitbit Premium.
Hopefully it tracks my steps as well. Let's do this...
Sweat it out... Sweat all the problems away.
Ok... I'm done... with my workout...
My maximum beats per minute is 134.
I burned around 300 calories. That's like a McChicken burger.
Am I allowed to eat a McChicken now?
Today, I want to focus on a station that could use a little bit of improvement.
Which is my shuttle run.
I've selected it as an 'interval workout'. I've selected the movement time as 15 seconds.
Shuttle runs takes around 10-15 seconds, and rest time would be 15 seconds in between sets.
Ok... I definitely underestimated the number of sets I should do.
I'm so unfit.
You can actually find out very interesting details of the workout, such as the number of calories you burned,
even your average and maximum heartbeat rate throughout the workout.
I was in the active zone for the whole 5 minutes,
Meaning that my heart was pumping throughout the whole 5 minutes while getting the workout done.
I just woke up. According to my sleep score,
I got a 77/100.
To be honest, it feels more like a 50/100,
because I was watching Korean dramas throughout last night.
I was very worked up before I went to sleep...
I stumbled across this section on the Fitbit app that I hadn't seen before, where you can review your skin temperature and how it changed.
I think there might be some correlation with stress, because the days where my skin temperature increased,
was during days I was rushing or had more things to do during the day.
But yeah, just some interesting things that I wouldn't have noted or realized.
I just checked the steps leaderboard, and apparently Prav has taken 7,000 steps.
7,000 steps?! How many steps did I take today? 10?
To the toilet... Then I came back...
I just went to check the leaderboard on the Fitbit app. Guess what!
Your homeboy is in the lead now!
I went to look at Rainier's score. Gave him a little cheer; hopefully that gives him the encouragement
to push forward for the rest of the challenge.
Hi guys, it's really late at night now and I'm rushing for a deadline that's due tomorrow.
I'm really stressed out and my heart has been crazily pulsating...
Lowkey freaking out that I might not hit the deadline.
Under Fitbit Premium there's this thing called Mindfulness,
and they have sessions that help you deal with stress.
What I'm going to do now is to follow this breathing session,
and they have this EDA scanner that tracks the whole process and hopefully,
I'll be able to get back to work with a clearer mind and I'll be more efficient that way.
(App) Hi, this is Andrew, welcome to your guided breathing session.
I'm done with my mindfulness session. It was 6 minutes of pure bliss, so
I'll be going back to work, and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
HellO. This is the face of someone who has slept the full 8 hours last night.
8 hours...
Hopefully I can keep this up until the end of the NAPFA test. Sleeping at 3-4 AM is really no good for
your skin and eyebags,
Both of which have been actively giving me trouble.
I looked at the Fitbit app, and they have a Premium series by Ayesha Curry.
What caught my attention was this first video. It looks really good. And healthy.
The best part is that it only takes 12 minutes to cook.
We are done and the final product is here. It looks really great.
I can't wait to dig in and have my family try a little bit as well.
Ooh! Squats!
(PD) Ok guys, we are here at a primary school where you'll be taking your NAPFA test.
Let's just warm up first.
I can fly.
And... go.
[Counting]
47...
48...
Ok, time's up.
1... 2...
One last one. Look me in the eye and do it...
Go! Go! Go!
[Rainier losing it]
I'll be the timer.
Using ma Fitbit.
Go.
Let's go. One. Go back down.
Two...
Three...
Come on, Amanda. Up! Yes!
Keep going! Up!
[Shouting]
Ok, good job. you did one perfectly good one.
3, 2, 1.
We are now at the Sit and Reach station.
This is basically a medieval torture machine.
But... Let's do this.
Go! Go!
[Shouting]
Someone else do this. This is a torture machine.
Eh, it's 35.5 ah.
1, 2, 3.
[Rainier giving birth]
35. Not bad.
Don't stop. A bit more.
Whoa, she hit 45 cm!
That is 10 whole centimeters more than us.
- Ok, give it to you. - Congratulations.
BoNK
Not bad. Not bad.
208 cm.
Whoa!
225 cm!
Now, I'm the only one who is going to do the inclined pull ups.
My record is half an inclined pull up.
- That was really... half. - I didn't think that was possible.
My heartbeat is now 130 from doing half a pull-up.
We are here to do pull-ups for myself and Rainier.
Look at my buff arms, guys. 3 pull ups.
1...
2... Keep going.
[Prav squawks]
- 3... - Don't stop.
[Rainier turning into The Hulk]
Oh, my stomach.
Finally I beat you at something. Oh, my stomach.
Finally I beat you at something.
He finally beat me at something.
Now it's time for collectively... our worst station. 2.4 KM run.
Cheaterbugs! You know how long I waited here? Then at the last second, they started running.
- My heartbeat is 132. - Mine is 145.
Why is yours higher than mine...
Just because you ran the last part...
- I want to go home. Bye bye. - We shuttle run home.
I'm - I'm done.
(PD) How was the NAPFA test?
Wah.
Um... Clearly, it was bad for me...
The NAPFA test was an eye opener because it showed how unfit I was...
and I haven't been exercising for the longest time. Maybe I want to try again. But not so soon.
I rest first. and I haven't been exercising for the longest time. Maybe I want to try again. But not so soon.
I rest first.
At least he passed most of the stations.
I clearly failed most of the stations.
Outside of this NAPFA test, I dance regularly to keep fit.
But when it comes to doing an actual fitness test, it's like... No man.
(PD) What was the hardest station for you?
All??? Except for sit and reach.
For me, it's easily the pull ups.
Because of my weight, I have a harder time running because there's impact on my knees. For me, it's easily the pull ups.
Because of my weight, I have a harder time running because there's impact on my knees.
And I already have weak knees already.
Typically, I'd just do my work for hours on end. What the watch made me do was to get me to exercise
I really like the fact that the in-app workouts available is something that I can do at home.
For me, I have a really irregular sleep schedule, so that makes me really unfocused in the day.
I have trouble being alert in the day. After looking at the sleep analysis,
out of the 5 hours that I'm sleeping,
I'm actually not in deep sleep - having quality sleep.
After fixing my sleep schedule for a bit, it helped me become more alert for the next few days.
Especially during the NAPFA test. So...
If I didn't fix my sleep schedule, I probably would have done 1/4 of a pull up.
Normally, I don't have breakfast, but I made the effort to have home-cooked healthy meals.
For the Fitbit Premium, they had this video where I could cook healthy fish and broccoli meals. That helped me during my NAPFA test.
