Six years ago this month, two guys dared each other to a daily workout in the cold winters of Boston. One month turned into two, two months turned into six, six months turned into 6 years and this movement is still going strong. The attendance have also grown from the two of them to thousands of people gathering every Wednesday, Friday and Monday for free fitness in farty-four (44) cities in the world.
To do our part as the only tribe in Southeast Asia, November Project Malaysia have also added a Friday morning workout this month. November 3rd was our first session and over 30 tribe members showed up for some pushups, squats, mountain climbers, plank and dips at Bulatan Park. A new venue, a new vibe and hopefully a lot more newbies in the upcoming weeks. #recruiteveryone. The addition of Friday was due to several requests from the tribe but as the tribe grows closer, once a week was just too long between workouts to see your beautiful faces and glowing 5 AM smiles.
On another note:
I want to personally thank all the out pour of condolences and support this past week during a very tough time for my family. On November 1st, I lost my aunt and uncle in a car accident while my cousin was in critical condition. Sadly, she too passed away on the 2nd of November. I appreciate the thoughts and prayers and am especially touched by the private messages from the other co leaders and members of the other tribes.
Their funeral was held this past weekend and the number of people who came and paid respect was overwhelming. Just goes to show that they must have touched a lot of lives and there was a lot of sadness from this unfortunate tragedy. From this event, I have a few things I want to share :
“ If you are thinking of giving your mom a hug today, or saying I love you to your dad, or a thank you to a sibling…do it because you never know, once this opportunity passes, you may not get another chance”
“Do good! Be a positive influence on as many lives as we can so that when our time is up, we leave this world a better place that it was before us.”
“Be grateful! Have dreams, hope and goals but appreciate this very moment for there are others who have less, or is unable to do the things you can. Be grateful”
Up Coming stuff:
Wednesday 515AM Bumiko Hill, we will continue and wrap up our co leader challenge ( from October). This challenge was based on which co leader’s team would be the most consistent in showing up, which was fittest and fastest. Points were allotted for attendance, repetitions and also winner of races. Wednesday will be one last race. Current Score; Team Ing in the lead with 53, Team Ridley at 47 but still holding on and not out of the race is Team Harry at 36.
Friday 5:18AM Bulatan Park, our second Friday of the month, tell your friends and family in the neighborhood. Always fun, usually weird, definitely a hard sweatsesh. #justshowup #recruiteveryone
Lastly:
As we roll into year end and school holidays, we are certain people have planned their holidays, we also can’t wait for parents to bring their kids out to join us.
Much Love,
Ridley
