Revolutionize Your Well-Being: Mobile Fitness Tech in Action

Friday, April 27, 2018

     The alarm goes off. We all dread that sound, the inevitable coldness beyond the duvet. There are days where autopilot gets you to the coffee shop and you gaze longingly at the pastries, trying to muster all the politeness you can spare for the barista. Some days, it's difficult enough to get up and get going and face the day, so how does one integrate a healthy regimen, let alone a solid fitness plan with quantifiable results?

Tuesday, March 27, 2018

     We all know the importance of healthy eating, for ourselves and for our children, if we want to have a fit, healthy and active lifestyle. Natural and organic foods should be the cornerstone of our balanced and nutritious diet, but as adults there may also be times when we've overindulged a little and want to lose weight. There are a plethora of artificial diet plans, meals and products on the market, but thankfully there are also diet regimes that are based upon completely natural ingredients. Take a look at our handy guide to three of these plans and see which one is best for you and your needs.

5 Muscle-Building Tips for Women

Thursday, March 22, 2018

     Building a muscular body is something that we typically associate with men, although that is a completely wrong perception to have. Women can build muscle mass as well for a fitter, stronger and healthier body. Now, it is true that the female body does not naturally produce the primary muscle-building hormones such as testosterone in sufficient quantities to match the production rate of those hormones within a male body, but that’s perfectly alright because the little they do have is enough to get what is needed. However, to make the playing fields somewhat even, here are five tips that should help you get jacked faster.

Anytime Fitness Glorietta 5 Branch Now Open

Wednesday, November 01, 2017

     It's not easy to get fit. If you want to live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life, you have to commit and dedicate yourself to proper nutrition and exercise. If your goal is to stay in shape and build stronger muscles, it is important to use proper exercise equipment and in my opinion, those can only be found in a gym.

     Anyhoo, I have great news to all gym buddies in Makati area. The world’s number one, largest, and fastest-growing fitness franchise has opened the doors to its 50th branch in Glorietta, Makati, in the Philippines- Anytime Fitness. Sharing the highlights of the opening after the jump.

Product Review: Ultra Green Coffee

Wednesday, August 09, 2017

     Losing and maintaining weight is only a cup of coffee away. Well, that's what Ultra Green Coffee has known for aside from the fact that it has other health and wellness benefits. Cheskas Online Store sent me three pouches of Ultra Green Coffee to try and after taking this for roughly a month, I'm sharing my thoughts below.

     Why I accepted this even though I have a normal weight? Well, it's because I want to maintain that weight and stay away from instant coffees sold in the market. I also want to complement my diet and exercise with a natural supplement like this slimming coffee because I have the tendency to gain weight easily and I have a sweet tooth. So without further ado, here's my take on Ultra Green Coffee :)

App Review: Philam Vitality Active App

Friday, March 31, 2017

     Do you have a fitness plan? Are you one of the many Filipinos (including me) who struggle to achieve that long-time fitness goal? It's not easy to stay fit and healthy for life because it will always include dedication and determination that's why I salute all my friends who devote time to stay fit and healthy.

     A healthy lifestyle is what we Filipinos need now. In this fast-paced life, we often forgot to take good care of body. We rely on "instant" and temporal things. Instant food and instant weight loss to name a few. We need to set our minds and do things the way they should be- eat the right kind of food, stay active by doing physical activities, and be rewarded for the goals we achieve. Speaking of rewards, let me share with you an app that makes being active rewarding- Philam Vitality Active App :)

Best 5 After Gym Skincare Tips You Should Know

Saturday, January 07, 2017

     You might already have a good everyday skin care routine that gives you a flawless shine, but have you given enough thought about the post-workout one? 

     It is difficult to maintain two skincare routines in one day (blame it on your strict deadlines) and it is even harder to add your workout to your busy schedule. Spending a few extra minutes in the locker room can become unimaginably beneficial to get a good looking skin. It will make all the difference in maintaining a healthy skin that is free from breakouts and even looks hydrated.

ALLURA Body Contour Launch

Friday, April 08, 2016

     Last February, I was invited to the launch of ALLURA Body Contour's Shaping Lives to the Fullest launch. The launch was held at Hello Relish in Timog where satisfied customers and celebrity endorsers shared their weight loss stories and how they've achieved their #BodyGoals. Losing weight is hard, but ALLURA makes it easy.

     Right now, you might be hitting the gym pretty hard, getting yourself into the best shape of your life. Of course, it won’t always be that way; getting rid of your fats does not happen overnight, so just realize that fitness should be a part of your lifestyle. But if you decide to lose weight and want fast results, all you need to do is to consult your friendly neighborhood cosmetic surgeon. ALLURA is where you can find the latest and most economical way of losing weight and contouring your body. More details about the services and real testimonials below :)
ALLURA Body Contour Launch

  • With a commitment and dedication to bring out the best in all our patients at really reasonable and affordable prices, we see to it that you always get more than what you pay for.

5. Hear the client’s success stories and testimony!

     Ara Mina and Christine Reyes, the renowned sisters in Philippine show business are just some of the living proof of how ALLURA fulfilled its promises.

ARA MINA 

     Ara Mina revealed that Thermo-lipolysis became her weight loss buddy for her quick reduction of weight. "Thermolipolysis is my favorite treatment, I lost 11 pounds in just a short period of time," shared Ara. In addition, Ara's waistline has reportedly gone from a 28 to a 25 in just a short span.
ALLURA Body Contour Launch

     Thermolipolysis is one of the famous offerings of ALLURA as it helps our clients reduce weight easily and instantly. It uses cutting-edge thermal heat and infrared technology to burn as much as 900 calories per treatment of 30 minutes. You are put inside a hi-tech "capsule," so you can literally lose weight equivalent to 3-7 km. energy expenditure of running while lying down. It actually burns as much as 900 calories per session. More than that, it increases the metabolism, reduces water retention and stimulates body circulation.

CHRISTINE REYES

     Another popular demand from ALLURA is the Radio Frequency method which effortlessly gets rid of the cellulite and local fat tissues safely. It is effective, extremely safe, painless and mild with its special cooling method, no bandage, no bruising, no bleeding and no pain. 

     This treatment was used by actress Christine Reyes to tighten her upper arms. She also used the UltraShape Machine, which destroyed fat on her tummy and flanks. 
ALLURA Body Contour Launch
Christine Reyes
     She further had Endermolgie to address her cellulite problem on her thighs. The Endermologie Machine employs vacuum energy mechanical rollers. It corrected the fat cell accumulation and too much fluid retention (edema) on her thighs.

     The UltraShape Machine is a 3-in-1 machine, that employs 1.) ultra-sound technology which causes bursting (implosion) of the fat cells of the area being treated. The 2.) suction/vacuum probe hastens lymphatic drainage of the fat cell content (fat cells when destroyed release energy to be burned) into the blood stream. 3.) The radio frequency (RF) part of the machine treatment will tighten or firm up the skin of the area being treated since the area will be losing a lot of fat tissues and it might cause the skin to loosen up.

     Meanwhile, the VASER® Shape is one of the newest trends that their clinic carries and is currently a hit with clients for its rewarding results. It is a non-surgical body-sculpting treatment that uses ultrasound and massage to treat unwanted fat and improve the appearance of cellulite. 

     With VASER® Shape, the ultrasonic therapy heats the deep layers of the skin, causing the underlying fat cells to break apart. The non-surgical body contouring massage helps the lymphatic system drain away the excess toxins and fats and increase blood circulation in the area. The VASER shape treatment reduces “pinchable” fat, tightens skin, and improves the appearance of cellulite. Many people notice tightening after their first session, and you are able to resume normal activities immediately without pain or downtime. In fact, immediate results can be seen and felt in just 1 session! 

     These treatment machines are US/Europe BFAD approved which guarantees the safeness of all our procedures. We acquired the machines from the inventor/discoverer of the technology and hence the treatments have sound scientific principles. And these technologies have made thousands of our customers realize that losing weight does not require them to starve themselves, or allot lengthy hours at the gym, or undergo those delicate bloody surgical operations because ALLURA has given them a safe and convenient alternative! 

     Other personalities such as Ryza Cenon, Rich Asuncion, MJ Marfori, Johan Santos and DJ Nicole Hyala have also testified about the effectivity of the services offered at ALLURA.

CHLOE DAUDEN, MISS WORLD PHILIPPINES 2011 (SECOND PRINCESS)

     Miss World Philippines 2011, Second Princess, Chloe Dauden announced on her Instagram post that Body Rejuve Tripollar is her favorite treatment in ALLURA
ALLURA Body Contour Launch
Chloe Dauden, Miss World Philippines 2011 Second Princess
     In her post online, she revealed that she is doing it at least once a week. “Body Rejuve Tripollar really helps in slimming and toning my stomach, arms and thigh.” Dauden posted. This treatment helps improve stretch marks, reduces fats in certain areas, melts cellulite and tightens skin. Same with Needle-less Mesotherapy which uses ion wave technology as it opens up the pores of the skin, giving the body time to get all the nutrients from skin care products.

CATHERYN JOY AMPARO

Cathy Amparo described ALLURA in 3 words – “AFFORDABLE EFFECTIVE & EFFORTLESS”.

     “To say thank you, just doesn’t seem enough. So please, take these words, share them with others as a testament of the results one can get. It has made a huge difference in MY life. I only hope others can feel the same”, our happy customer said. Indeed, getting a fab and fit body has been easier this time through the slew of non-invasive slimming treatments offered by ALLURA. No need to spend tiring hours at the gym or starve yourselves because at ALLURA, we promise to deliver the most ideal results in bringing out the best version of our clients.

Triumph Sports Bra Collection Launch

Tuesday, February 09, 2016

     Hi dearies! This season, I presume that a lot of you are already going back on track in your fitness and sports activities. I've seen gym and workout selfies and those motivates me to enroll in one of my dream exercise to try this summer- yoga! But I have a problem, I still don't know where to enroll and what type of outfit clothes to wear. I've experienced wearing the wrong brassiere before when I was still hitting the gym some three years ago. It's annoying to keep on touching the bra straps and readjusting it. It's uncomfy and gives an awkward gym experience.

     So in order to do the right exercise routine, one should wear the proper workout outfit and wear undergarments that will not compromise quality of our movements because of a bra that doesn’t provide the right kind of support. I think if you have an active and sporty lifestyle, it is a must to invest in the right undergarment that gives us women the reliable and full support we need to go about our daily activities. Do you want to experience comfortably sporty, secure and sexy sports bra? Enter Triumph! More details about their sports bra collection below :)
Triumph Sports Bra Collection Launch

     Last January 28, Triumph unveiled their new sports bra collection, tailored for women with active and sporty lifestyles. They invited us in an afternoon of fun and exciting exercise activity at Saddle Row BGC to test the sports bra collection that Triumph, the maker of lingerie since 1886 has to offer. We had an intimate indoor cycling session with coach Carla at Saddle Row BGC. It's my first time to try indoor cycling, and yes it's intense and leg breaking (hahaha!) for me because I have weak lower limbs.
Triumph Sports Bra Collection Launch
Saddle Row BCG
     We were advised to wear something comfortable and tried Triumph sports bra that day. Basically, the indoor cycling that Saddle Row is offering makes you ride a stationary bike to the beat of awesome music. It's an intense and fast-paced workout and I felt the burn in my legs and thights after our session but felt comfortable wearing my Low Impact Sports bra.

     Triumph has crafted a sports bra collection to cater to low, medium, and high impact support need. These sports bra are highly recommended to women who have active and sporty lifestyle because:

  • All four styles are soft to the touch, supportive, yet comfortable, and are made of super breathable fabric while combining fit, comfort, and support for every kind of active lifestyle. 
  • Each design is not only perfect for sports activities, but is also great for lounge wear at home on a warm day.
  • They have different colors for each design so wearing one style in different colors if you hit the gym three times a week can be exciting and fun. Gone are the days that sports bra's function is just for support. With Triumph, the sports bra collection can be an essential to what we now call workout outfit of the day :)

     Here are the sports bras that cater to the support that your active and sporty lifestyle need. You can choose from the three offerings below:

  • One is designed with a flattering low cut front and a thicker razorback.
  • Another one has a higher neckline for additional support and coverage, with a thinner razorback for a balanced feel. 
  • These two bras were made for comfortable low impact activities such as Yoga, basic floor exercises and Pilates.

  • It has a high front and the thickest straps to provide maximum support on its own so you can exercise without worrying about underwear malfunctions.

     During the event, I've chosen the Low Impact Sports bra in black as I'm planning to take yoga class this summer. I love how this sports bra fits me well. I always have a problem fitting undergarments because I don't know what's the right size to get. I'm glad the they've assisted us on the right fitting by getting our exact measurements.

Triumph's Low Impact Sports Bra in Classic Black
     Before choosing this style, I was torn between the Medium and High Impact Sports bra designs. I find their designs fashionable and the style is very sporty. But because design and style is only a second option why I'll buy a sports bra, I've still chosen what I really need and I'll be wearing during my yoga class. I highly recommend this sports bra if you're into yoga and pilates because it's soft and stretchy perfect for the movements both sports require.
