Over the past three days that we've been here, we've learnt aqua workout, movement therapy and parachute running. It has been exhilarating. I am accustomed to working out in the gym, so this is significantly different. There is less risk of injury and it's functional training. Changing my workout regime excites me.

Our trainer, fitness expert Ritesh Shaiwal has been teaching us movement therapy. It enhances your neuromuscular co-ordination and increases awareness. It's unlike anything I've done before, and fortunately, has nothing to do with weights. It's about getting to know your body and using it to enhance your fitness.

Movement therapy teaches you to exceed your limits. Not only does it test your strength and flexibility, but also trains you to overcome physical pain by focusing on mental strength. Working out in a beautiful country like Taiwan gives you an adrenaline rush. The results that we are seeing are amazing. These workouts will make me fit as a fiddle.

I enjoyed the aqua workout, and never imagined that exercising in a swimming pool could be so effective. Ritesh taught us to use our towels as props. Working out amidst nature helps you breathe better and increases your stamina. It pushes you against the odds.
