A: This is a fitness benchmark known as the Cooper Test. The goal is to run as far as you possibly can in 12 minutes. The distance you cover can be used to estimate your VO2 max, a key measure of aerobic fitness. We conduct this test on the third week of every quarter, allowing you to track your progress throughout the year. Q: What is 'plyometrics'? A: Plyometrics are jumping exercises designed to be explosive and powerful. They help build strength and power in your running muscles, which can translate to improved running economy and speed. Q: Is this session suitable for beginners? A: Yes, all are welcome. The run is a personal test, so you go at your own maximum effort. For the plyometrics, we encourage everyone to participate, but it's important to listen to your body. If you are new to this kind of exercise or feel you should sit out an exercise, please do. Q: How is the session structured and how long is it? A: The session lasts about an hour. We start with a 15-minute warm-up, followed by the 12-minute run test. After the run, we do a 20-minute plyometrics workout, followed by a cool-down. Q: Do I need any special equipment? A: No special exercise equipment is needed. However, you must have a way to time yourself for the 12-minute run. The timer on a phone or a simple watch is perfectly fine. Don't worry if you don't have a GPS watch to track your distance; your run host will provide a map of the track, and you can simply mark your finishing spot. Q: Is there a place to leave my bag? A: Yes. Most runners leave their bags together by the side of the track. However, this area is unattended. For valuables, we strongly recommend using the paid lockers available at the Sports Hub. Lockers near the stadium cost approximately $6 for 6 hours of use. Q: Are there toilets and water coolers nearby? A: Yes, the Sports Hub is well-equipped. There are water coolers and toilets accessible near the track. Q: What happens if it rains? A: We run on! The track is almost completely sheltered, so rain does not stop our session.

Due to hot weather and haze conditions, we will do a forest walk and practice Interval Walk Training during the last 2 km towards the end point. Interval Walk Training (IWT)—alternating fast-paced walking with slow, recovery-paced walking—is a highly effective, low-impact workout that improves cardiovascular fitness, boosts metabolism, and strengthens muscles. It is superior to steady walking for lowering blood pressure, improving aerobic capacity, reducing visceral fat, and enhancing insulin sensitivity. **Key Health Benefits of Interval Walk Training (IWT):** * **Improved Cardiovascular Health:** IWT strengthens the heart and enhances blood circulation by raising and lowering the heart rate, similar to a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session. * **Superior Metabolic Control:** It is particularly effective for managing blood sugar and increasing insulin sensitivity, making it ideal for managing or preventing type 2 diabetes. * **Weight Management & Metabolism:** The "afterburn effect" from high-intensity intervals continues to burn calories after the workout ends, aiding in fat loss. * **Increased Aerobic Capacity & Physical Fitness:** Studies indicate that switching paces consistently improves overall stamina and endurance better than continuous walking. * **Muscle & Bone Strengthening:** It strengthens the legs and core, while improving bone density, which is crucial for preventing osteoporosis in older adults. * **Improved Mental Health:** It aids in stress reduction, improves sleep quality, boosts energy, and elevates mood through the release of endorphins. * **Accessible and Sustainable:** The training is low-risk and highly adaptable to various fitness levels, making it popular for improving longevity and mobility in adults over 60. https://www.brownhealth.org/be-well/interval-walking-health-benefits-japanese-walking-method You will brisk walk pass the following parks: \- Thomson Nature Park \- Upper Peirce Reservoir Park \- Central Catchment Nature Reserve \- MacRitchie Reservoir Park Date: 18 April 2026 (Sat) Registration Time: 7.45 a.m. Start Time: 8.00 a.m. Start point: Springleaf MRT Station (Ground level) End Time: 12:45 - 1 p.m. End point: Caldecott MRT Station Lunch Break: Nil, please bring your own energy bars or snacks.
