To encourage Singaporeans to celebrate our nation’s 55th birthday in a “fun and active” manner, folks at Sport Singapore (SportsSG) recently introduced the SG55 Singapore Challenge.
The challenge allows participants to accumulate points by working out and subsequently exchanging them for prizes comprising sports apparel of all sorts.
A 65-year-old man interestingly took the opportunity not only to get fit but to redeem a T-shirt for his daughter too. On Saturday (15 Aug), his daughter dedicated a Facebook post to her fitspo father.

While her father accumulated the points by completing a combination of the activities, Ms Lee explained that it would require someone to complete 2,250 push-ups in order to collect 15 pieces of the cards.
When asked about his motivation, Mr Lee revealed that he planned on exchanging the accumulated points for a commemorative T-shirt and gifting it to his daughter.
While Ms Lee was touched by the gesture, she quipped that her father should save the shirt for himself to prevent catching a cold.

Like Ms Lee, we’re amused and touched by Mr Lee’s gesture which demonstrates that parents are always thinking of their beloved children.
