Taman Lembah Kiara (TTDI) workout park

Taman Lembah Kiara (TTDI)

Description: 
Huge park with lots of trees, and monkeys around, don't worry they don't bother humans. This park is actually pretty popular, especially after working hours and weekends, you will see families around, lots of joggers, people doing pullups, occasionally you will see people doing tai chi, line dancing, some kind of yoga meditation thing, or roller skating. 

The jogging track surrounds a lake, not sure how long is the run around, my guess would be 1km or so. I think you can jog up a hill somewhere too, but i've never been up there. 

Theres workout equipments there too, you will see mostly guys there doing pullups pushups and such, those equipments are getting worned out there, the pullup bar pillar is starting to wiggle, and the dip bar is pretty much broken.

Overall its a nice park, quite alot of people, its one of my favorite parks, but too bad the dip bar is broken

Description: 
Not a big park like TTDI with a lake, but a reasonable "square" that can be done
With some imagination, you can go a long way with this park.
Problems i have with it, it doesn't have a dip bar, and it can be messy most of the times
Trash everywhere!

You must be wondering why this little hut, and what can you do with it

You can hang your gymnastic rings or TRX under it!

Still not as high as it should be for Rings, but it will do.

Gymboss Review

 http://www.gymboss.com/

Pros:

1. Very convenient, has a very strong clip to clip on your clothing.
2. Rubber coating, so it has grip...i think, actually i don't know what's its for, but i would think its for grip
3. Easy to use, the instructions are actually written on the clip itself, so if you forget how to use it, BAM! it's right there.
4. Has volume settings for a Low Beep or High one, even on Vibrate, so you don't disturb the people around you.
5. Reasonable price and S+H, the device is about 20USD, shipping is around 6 USD(international)? i forget
6. It's a Stopwatch too

Cons:

1. Well this is not really a con, but more of a PLUS, It be nice if it's an MPS player too
2. It's a one button changing number thing, so if you hit that button one more time than you wanted, you have to keeping hitting it to get back to that number.

Conclusion

1.   I recommend this anyone who's doing HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), and/or Crossfitters. I use this thing alot, cause im a big fan of timed interval workouts. It's awesome for doing interval sprinting like Tabatas, just clip on your pants/sports-bra etc and let it rip, it does not come off easily, clip is pretty damn strong.

Fat Gripz review

Pros:

1. Great workout on the grip and forearm
2. Portable
3. Versatile, can be used in most barbell and dumbbell exercises (bicep curls, bench press, Shurgs etc)

Cons:

1. Cannot be attached to equipments such as Kettlebells, TRX, Gymnastic Rings
2. A bit of a high price tag if you are living in Malaysia, about RM150 per pair, plus shipping adds up to RM190

Other details:

1. charges in Euro on their website
2. shipping period is about 1 month using Royal Mail, for Malaysia that is

 Conclusion:

1. Overall i'm happy with this purchase even with the high price. Great if you're looking for some change in your workouts, and if you want to get them Popeye strong forearms. I would recommend to get a few friends to order this with you so can save on the shipping. I used this on my deadlift and i can really feel a difference, using muscle on the forearm i never used before.

Subang SS19 workout park

It's rare to find monkey's like this. 

This park is a little strange, everything is spaced out pretty far from each other, everything is spaced 50m away from each other. I guess you can do some pull ups and jog to the next station, to put some stamina work to it.

Equipments:

-Monkey Bars (pic above)

-Pull up bars (high and low)

-Dip station (grip slightly further away from each other)

-that bench with the horizontal bar across it

-the typical slides and swings
