Move Free

A proper consolidation of what Move Free is and what I do. Not the best in articulating through video, so decided a carousel post that sums up everything!

It has been a good 1.5 years since I left my full time job in the hopes of doing something that is aligned to my values and most importantly, helping others with my expertise.

I am still building Move Free 🌱🍃, still understanding what is the real world problem that I have to solve out there. I didn’t want it to be just another fitness program to be added to the tons of sports, fitness hypes that are already in the market. It has to fill a gap to why people are not moving more, why people are adverse to exercise despite having health scares.

Through low pressure, enjoyable activities alongside with movement education, Move Free aims to help people kickstart their fitness/health journey💪🏼.

MOVE. PLAY. EMPOWER. 🌿

Somewhere along the way, many of us stopped moving freely.

Long hours sitting. Stress. Tight hips. Achy backs. Low energy. Movement slowly became something we have to do instead of something we get to enjoy.

Move Free Adult Experience is a gentle outdoor session designed to help adults reconnect with movement through play, exploration and connection — without pressure, competition or intense workouts.

This is not a fitness bootcamp.
It’s a space to breathe, move, laugh and feel human again.

🌿 Light movement
🌿 Play-based exploration
🌿 Reflection & connection
🌿 Beginner-friendly
🌿 No fitness level required

I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis for the past 1.5 months.

And honestly… it hasn’t been easy.

Walking 15,000 steps a day in school (which is literally part of my job as a PE teacher) with heel pain? Yea... it disrupts everything.

The posts I shared above are usually how I manage physical pain. But the truth is everyone’s tolerance and comfort level is different.

I know I have a higher pain tolerance. And at one point, I was tempted to just power through it and hope it would magically go away. Thankfully, that didn’t last.

Instead, I started taking action:
– strengthening the affected muscles
– modifying my training
– trying K-taping for support
– and seeking help from a sports doctor (shockwave therapy)

Am I fully recovered? Not yet. But I do feel better because I’m doing something about it.

Here’s the thing most people miss:

Pain is often a sign that something is not working well in the body. Weakness somewhere → compensation elsewhere → overuse → pain.

And the root cause?
It could be:
– too little movement
– too much load
– your daily habits
– your work environment
– even stress

Understanding that is the first step.

But more importantly, doing something about it is the next.No one knows your body better than you. It’s time to take ownership of your own health.

"Nothing is silly" caught my eye when I first entered the space in , that definitely helped reduce the notion of judgements and fear of "stupid questions asked" everytime we go to a new environment with new people around you.

Besides being wow-ed by the cool makerspace environment, I was there mainly to attend PLAY ∞ LEARNING meet up facilitated by cool "playxperimenters". There were so many awesome and fun play ideas being shared that I was so inspired to try them out during my classes.

In a meritorious society like ours, play seems so frivolous but yet it is one of the key 🗝️ element in our life that sparks creativity and empathy,... which sadly in my opinion, seemed to be lacking in our productive, efficient nation. But at the same time, I am so encouraged to see many educators step forward in this meet up to play, so that we in turn, can encourage play amongst our kids. What better method than to be role models ourselves?

"Move, Play, Empower" has always been the guiding ethos to the pedagogy in the movement classes I conduct. With play and fun, people tend to stick to healthier habits like exercising/moving more. Hope to start using some of the play ideas in my classes/workshops that I conduct soon 🔥💯

Thankful for meet ups with playful ex colleagues , ex ex colleagues Hui Gyan 😂, like minded playful people Darren and Gen 🤩

Till the next play date!

I've been dealing with pain/injuries since young, from athlete days to the aging days currently 😂, and felt an urgent need to address the gap where everyone is told to rest fully after sustaining an injury. So here are my two cents worth of advice that I advocate strongly (disclaimer: not a sports doctor, but definitely supplement whatever they are telling you):

Not all pain means you should stop moving.

But not all pain should be ignored either.

One of the biggest mistakes I see:
People feel pain… and either avoid movement completely or push through without understanding what’s going on.

The key is knowing what kind of pain you’re dealing with.

Muscle soreness? → keep moving (just don’t go all out)
Acute pain? → modify and reduce load
Chronic pain? → build strength and movement over time

Your body isn’t telling you to stop.
It’s telling you to adjust.Learning how to respond makes all the difference.

If you’re unsure what your body is telling you, start simple, move gently, stay consistent, and build from there.
