While a lot of the definition of a lazy man is based on gender stereotypes as one would expect, one can’t help but feel for the people that relate to the tune of, “he doesn’t help with the chores at home!”.

With the elephant out of the room, we have a few suggestions to steer the fellows on a less treacherous path by keeping them on their toes, literally.

And like great food and wine pairings, this self-help guide will go nicely with the iconic heart thumper of a song, Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor. Crank it up!

“Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet.
Just a man and his will to survive.”

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

Rising up every day and establish a routine

Even if you’re not a morning person, steel yourself and set aside some time in the day to start a new routine, be it lunch hour or 7pm after the grind.

Start out slow and get into the groove by taking on free workouts every week from the likes of kickboxing to body combat at shopping malls including The Star Vista and Tampines Mall.

Guys who prefer to go hard or go home will be up for the challenge to sign up for a gym membership. Power your way through a diverse range of group classes at Fitness First at Bugis Junction, or surmount the largest bouldering gym in Singapore, Boulder World at SingPost Centre.

Nothing hurts more than a hole in the wallet, so be prepared to commit. #FitnessGoals

Get inspired by world-class athletes

What’s more inspirational than the exceptional footballers taking the world by storm at this year’s World Cup from the likes of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez. Cristiano Ronaldo showcased his relentless pursuit for greatness at the age of 33, with his four-goal tally taking Portugal to the next round of 16. Parabéns!

All the more reason to soak in the festivities and watch the live match screenings, which will be played at Bugis Junction and Bugis+, JCube and Clarke Quay. The collective spirit of cheering your favourite World Cup team will overthrow any sluggishness or apprehension you may have felt when ‘breaking up’ with your sofa at home.
