Futsal Grows In Popularity.

While some people may have started playing after their friends invited them to the game, they have continoued to play futsal for exercise and relaxation. Futsal is enjoyed by student as well as executives (As like Pak Budi May be?) and office. Futsal grows in popularity since several years ago.

And let’s see futsal deeply here. What is futsal? It is an indoor version of European football, also called soccer. The name comes from the Portuguese futebal de salao and the Spanish futbol sala, which translate as ‘indoor football’.

Unlike football, a game that needs two teams of at least 11 players, futsal involves two teams of only five players, including the goalkeeper.

The growing number of futsal fans here have resulted in the appearance of more futsal courts in the capital and in nearby cities. The management of Goals, a futsal court in one city in South Jakarta, Lebak Bulus, even increased the number of their courts from two to four to accommodate the sport’s rising popularity.

Goals also arranged a competition to encourage more people to play the game. Also it is not the profesional tournament, the enthuasiasts from the futsal fans is realy awesome. No least that 70 teams participated in the tournament.

The growing number of futsal fans and the rising popularity of the sport seem s to be a good sign of an improvement in healthy lifestyles among urbanities.

Wanna Be Cool And Sexy? Be Healthy!

Honestly, the original story is written by Ade Rai. But let’s me re-write here to share with you all by posting in My Blog.

Every body wants to be cool and sexy. So what should we do to realize them? Here I wil tell you what thing can make our body become cool and sexy.

As Ade Rai say in his journal, there are 9 steps must we done to realize our body become cool and sexy. Here they are:

  1. Eat more vegetables with every meal;
  2. Choose low-fat or non-fat varieties as snacks;
  3. Minimize consumption of fried food to one-fifth of what you eat now (if you have them 5 days a week, cut it down to just 1 day a week);
  4. Eat more lean proteins (Lean red meat, chicken breast, fish, egg whites); choose low-fat ingredients and have them steamed, roasted, grilled, poached, (You may also supplement your diet with protein powder, fat-free milk, cheese or yoghurt);
  5. Minimize consumption of soft drinks; choose plain water or iced tea instead (if you need that sweet stuff , use low-calorie wseetener instead of table sugar);
  6. Beware of sugary and floury stuff. They come in all shapes and forms; Lemonade, syrup, bottled fruit juice, noodles, dumplings, pempek, cake, biscuits, pasta, siomay, rice noodles, pizza, bread and more;
  7. Work out 3-5 times a week at 1 hour each; choose your favorite sport for more enjoyment (remember to warm-upproperly and don’t go overboard with the intensity!);
  8. Sleep well; shoot for 7-8 hours every day (It’s better to have a fixed bedtime and working time);
  9. Stop smoking. If you haven’t touched that devil, GREAT! Stay away from it. If you have, stop immediatly. It does you no good whatsover, and I could spend a whole article on this alone! In brief, smoking means burning your (or your parents) hard-earned money to putt poison yourself and hurting the people you care about and love. Moreover, smoking is the gateway to drug addiction because all drug-addicts are smokers.

That all the space Ade Rai has to realize the cool and sexy body. Hope we have enjoyed it as much as Ade Rai has. And I definitely hope to be given (share) more opportunities to talk with all of you. Still then, Stay Strong, stay healthy and stay smart!
