Workouts really give impact in our general health not only physically but also internally included our skin. Workouts do effect our skin in both way good and bad. For the good way workouts may remove toxins, reduce acne, tigthen loose skin, give you glow skin, overall skin improvement. Below is the futher explaination.

However, besides all those good effect of workouts toward your skin, workout might also give you the bad effect to your skin without a proper care! Here are some of the bad effect of workout to your skin and ways to treat. 

Besides eating, workouts can also help you gain weight. Many people thought workout only for people who want to lose weight. It is a myth! Workouts work for both gaining and losing weight. (Also read: 10 Tips to Gain Weight Fast) This entry will explain how workouts can help you gain weight.

First of all, you need to understand the mechanism of how a workout can increase your weight. Long story short, workouts will put stress on your muscle resulting in muscle tears. Muscle has self-healing properties, it will repair itself. In order to repair, it will produce more muscle fiber resulting in an increase in muscle mass/size.

However, this is not a one-day process. Gaining weight can be as hard as losing weight. In order to see the result, you need to be consistent and disciplined in both training and lifestyle. The shortest duration for you to measure the difference is 3 months. My tip on staying consistent is to set a realistic goal for a certain time. For example, "in 3 months I want to gain 5kg". Be sure to follow your track in order to achieve your goal. 

Next is you need to set up your training program focusing on gaining weight. Because not all training can help you gain weight. The worst is you may lose weight if you use the wrong training program. Be sure to focus on the smallest detail such as the training volume, duration, intensity, and type of exercise. 

Here is some of my suggestion you can include in your training program. 

1. Less repetition, high load
   If you are a beginner, I would suggest for you hire a trainer or bring a supporter to avoid any injury. Lifting a very heavyweight can put a lot of stress on your muscle, resulting in more muscle fiber being produced. But be sure you can only lift for a few repetitions (6-4reps). If you are a beginner you may increase the lighter weight with maximum repetition 8. 
   
   
2. Do not skip rest day & don't overdo. 
   Rest days help your recovery process as your muscle need some time to repair and increase tolerance to your current weight. If you skip resting, your muscle may be injured and easy to shrink. Be sure to include a rest day in your training program. However, do not overdo as your muscle may lose their strength and mass after some time if you do not do any exercise.
   
   
3. More resistance training than cardio
   Cardio may help you with stamina and endurance. However, if you wish to gain weight, do more resistance training than cardio exercise and resistance training focuses more on bulking. 
   
   
4. Don't forget any muscle
   I know some of you may focus on a certain part of your body such as more upper body training than lower body. This may cause an imbalance in your muscle growth. Be sure to include all muscle parts in your training program. No matter how hard the training is, do not skip it! You may do one set of full-body training as your warm-up and continue with lifting heavy load using the target muscle. Make sure you include all muscles as your targeted muscle in your weekly training program. 
   
   
5. Don't measure the difference too often
   Too much measuring can cause demotivation. Again, gaining weight is not a day or a week process. It took some time and need the patience to see the result. Focus on training itself than the difference. You may weigh/pinch test yourself once a month.

The aging process is normal to any living creature. The aging process begins as early as 25 years old. Some of the aging processes that happen to the skin include fine lines and wrinkles, lack of collagen production, uneven skin tone, and dullness. So how do you want to slow down the aging process? These are the top 5 lessons that you can include in your skincare routine before you hit 30. 

(disclaimer: picture from google)

1. Wear sunscreen every day
   Sun damage can only be seen after some time. Once you see sun damage on your skin it is so hard to reverse. UV light contained in the sun can make your skin worst. Some of the sun-related issue to the skin is sunspot, fine lines, and skin cancer. So be sure to wear your sunscreen every day and reapply every 2-3 hours. 
   
   
2. Don't forget your neck
   Some people in their 30 complain their neck aging faster than the rest of the skin/body. This is caused by the skin layer at the neck is thinner than most of the other parts. It results in less capability to retain moisture which leads to sagging and wrinkles. In order to tackle the problem, whatever you put on your face just don't forget the neck. Especially the sunscreen and moisturizer. 
   
   
3. Having a strong basic skincare routine
   Don't ever try to jump any of the skin treatments if you don't have a basic skincare routine. A basic skincare routine consists of a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Be sure to use it for more than 3 months to consider it as strong basic skincare. 
   
   
4. Exfoliate 1-3x a week
   As mentioned above aging process begins as early as 25 years old, the collagen produced will begin to slow down and the skin renewal process is also took longer as we get older. This results in the dullness of the skin. To ensure your skin remains to glow, make sure you exfoliate 1-3 times a week. Exfoliate skin can remove your dead skin and absorb your skincare better.

5. Include retinol in your routine
   Retinol has been proven to reduce the sign of aging besides improving skin texture. Retinol will increase skin cell turnover and stimulate the production of collagen. This may prevent fine lines and wrinkles besides flawless skin. You can start to include retinol in your skincare routine as early as 20 years old. (Also read: tips for healthy skin)

Have u ever felt yourself getting sick with the city? For me, I live in the middle of the city. Sometimes especially on my short escape, I'd love to get fresh air but not too far from the city, getting fresh and cooler air besides enjoying the scenery. So the perfect place ofc Genting Highland is my go-to short vacay. 

Genting highland took place at the Pahang border. It has fresh and cleaner air compared to Kuala Lumpur. You can enjoy the view with cooler temperature besides feeling like you are going to some other 4 season country. 

A lot of activities you can find at Genting Highland. It consists of an indoor (Skytropolis) and outdoor (Skyworld) theme park, cable car (Skyway), nice view hotel, Chin Swee Cave Temple, plenty of restaurants to try, and Genting Premium Outlet/GPO. (Also read: Freeport A'famosa Outlet)

You may visit Genting Highland on your one-day trip. However, If you came to Genting Highland for the theme park I would suggest staying at their hotel for you to be able to enjoy 100% of the activities provided.

For food, I would highly suggest this Chinese-Muslim restaurant called Makanan Enak. They have the best food so far yet so affordable. The portion is very big. One food can eat for 2 people. The most delicious Nasi Goreng Cina and Ayam Mangga ever!!!!! 

Genting Highland can be packed sometimes, especially during the school holiday season. So to ensure you are able to enjoy the activities please buy a ticket before you took a visit. This is my plan every time I go to Genting Highland:

1. Booking tickets online a day before. Please click any of the activities below to purchase the ticket too. It is instant confirmation. You can set the date you want to go. They will email you the ticket in a blink of an eye. 
• Skytropolis & Skyworld ticket
• Skyway ticket
  
  
2. Travel to Genting Premium Outlet early in the morning to avoid any traffic-jammed and queuing in front of the store since they limit customers in-store due to MCO.
   
   
3. Riding the cable car. You can go straight to the cable car entrance and scan your ticket if you have already purchased your ticket online.  I would suggest you buy the two-way ticket for the smoother plan.
   
   
4. Check-in hotel. Below is my suggestion suitable for more than 2 people and affordable price yet nearby GPO. Please click on any of the hotel's names for the link to compare which best suits you. 
• Geo38 Premier Suites

5. Buying the best food at Makanan Enak. Again please try their Nasi Goreng Cina and Ayam Mangga.
   
   
6. The next morning I'll go straight went to the theme park. Riding all the activities available at the Skytropolis and Skyworld all day long without spending time queuing to purchase the ticket.
