Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Andre Low on free access to strength training for all
Strength training is not just for the muscle-bound bodybuilder, it is for everyone. While aerobic exercise slows the decline of bone density, strength training has the potential to reverse it. NCMP Andre Low made these remarks in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5). He noted that effective strength training requires progressive overload and variable resistance machines make that possible; however, Singapore’s fitness corners today largely do not possess them. He made three suggestions to make strength training more accessible.
