We’ve all been there, kan? Trying to be the ultimate productivity guru, squeezing every drop out of your day. Life hacks here, time management there – ‘How to wake up at 5am and run 5km before breakfast,’ ‘Reply to your Whatsapp texts while walking on the treadmill,’ or ‘Achieve inbox zero while waiting for your nasi lemak.’ 

Exhausting, right? But seriously, what’s the point of being super productive if you’re burnt out by lunchtime?

At the end of the day, sure, you may have checked off everything on your to-do list, but how do you feel? Did you actually enjoy your day or did you just… survive it?

That’s where Julie’s Biscuits comes in with their #Take25 campaign.

The idea? Slow down a bit, lah! Take 25 minutes, or even just 25 seconds, for yourself. Maybe breathe, stretch a bit, and yes, even munch on something good.

For the third year running, Julie’s Biscuits is reminding all of us to chill out. This time, they’ve partnered with Club Aloha for a special spin class event: the #Take25 Ride.

But, this spin class wasn’t your typical “go hard or go home” workout. Instead of pushing through each set without stopping, we were reminded to take 25 seconds between sets to catch our breath and focus on our breathing. It was all about being mindful and taking a moment to reset before moving on to the next round. 

And after the workout, instead of rushing off, we took another 25 seconds to practice gratitude – calming our hearts and reflecting on the little things we’re thankful for.

Joining the spin session were none other than Malaysian springboard diver Ooi Tze Liang and Olympic athlete Syaidatul Afifah. Talk about inspiring! Even these elite athletes understand the importance of balance – pushing yourself when needed but knowing when to slow down and appreciate the moment. 

It was the perfect blend of hard work and mindfulness, and of course, enjoying some delicious Julie’s Oat 25 biscuits after the session!
