Singapore has bright sunshine and blue skies if one wakes up early as shown in this video of Lentor Estate on Monday 22 May 2023. There are darker days with thunderstorms but Singapore has much less flooding compared to New Zealand and other countries as it is a small urbanised country. Waking up early to go for morning walks will be much less hot and humid.
Brisk long walks can reduce weight, but few people bother to walk as it is hot and humid later in the day. Weight reduction and healthy diet means less risk of heart disease and strokes. Many young people tend to put on weight and be sedentary.
On 23 May 2023, I visited my brother in law. His adult son in the insurance career has put on much weight as he does not exercise. "My second job is to pick up my son from school," he said to me after spending hours inside his study room working from home.
His wife is now so trim and alert looking. She walked from Balestier to Vivo City and elsewhere, losing much weight. "I like to see the beautiful bungalows in Novena area as I walk," she told my wife and I. At one time, she was plump, but now she is much fitter and her face is radiant and eyes are bright. "No need to pay to go to the gym," my sister-in-law said.
Many residents give the reason for not long walks as the weather is so hot and humid. So they need to find air-conditioned shopping centres to walk the 10,000 steps but they seldom do that.
