Team Strong Silvers
Ng Bee Kia, one of the core members of senior fitness motivation group Team Strong Silvers, has passed away.
He was 80.
His passing was announced on the Team Strong Silvers Facebook page on Jul. 4.
The team comprises men who perform calisthenic workouts regularly and challenge conventional expectations of ageing in Singapore.
The other core members of the team are Victor Chan, 73, Ngai Hin Kwok, 76, and Qian Hong, 68.
Ex-weightlifter
Ng was the oldest member.
He was a professional weightlifter, who clinched a silver medal for Singapore in the Weightlifting category at the 1973 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games.
He took a break from sports and worked as a salesman to support his family after he got married.
He went back to working out seriously again after he retired at 61.
Fitness group's routine
The group has been promoting active ageing through various national campaigns since October 2013.
They have even earned the title of "Granfluencers".
Their workouts include moves, such as dips, push-ups, front lever, and L-shape dead hangs, sometimes done in unison, as well as splits, lunges, and even headstands.
