5 Muscle-Building Tips for Women

     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.

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.

     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.

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.

     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.

     If you're getting tired and frustrated with losing weight, don't give up. With the advancement of science and technology to aid us in achieving a healthy lifestyle, there are other options in the so-called journey of losing weight. I have good news for you from Blue Water Day Spa :) As we become more and more exposed to toxins – from the unhealthy food that we eat to the pollution we encounter on our daily commute across the metro, our body becomes heavy because of the buildup of waste, leading to a loss of energy and an uncomfortable disposition.

BlueWater Day Spa’s Therapeutic Colonic Massage

• Combining medical science with BlueWater Day Spa hospitality and relaxation, the Therapeutic Colonic Massage helps gently remove excess toxins from your body, starting with those that have accumulated in your digestive system. 
• The treatment concentrates on the core (abdominal area), loosening the hardened blockages in your system through massage. The body then naturally expels these wastes through normal body function. 
• Enjoy the full-hour treatment, made more relaxing with the use of chamomile oil, in the calming ambience of the BlueWater Day Spa suites. Though the massage on the abdomen itself takes approximately 20 mins, you will enjoy lasting results. 
• In as little as one session, find relief from common digestive problems such as constipation, bloating, gas, and abdominal pains and cramps. The gentle boost on your digestive tract realigns organs and also helps your body cope better with hard-to-digest food. Regular, weekly treatments offer long-term benefits that include improved sleep, more defined abdominal muscle tone, and restored energy. 
• As you detox, the treatment also primes the body to respond better to diet and exercise, helping you lose weight faster and safely. Say goodbye to stubborn love handles, as you welcome a shapelier and more defined figure. 

     Christian Bautista, popular singer/actor, an avid fan of the Therapeutic Colonic treatment, shares, “As a performer, my schedules are hectic and always changing, so I have to be in the best shape possible to meet all the demands of my work. The long nights and late meals do take a toll on my body. With the BlueWater Day Spa Therapeutic Colonic Massage, I feel better and have more energy. It’s a gentle detox that serves a dual purpose because it helps you lose weight, too!

FWD Life for a Healthy and Fit Filipino, One Move at a Time

     FWD Life encourages Filipinos to stay healthy and fit, one move at a time. Can you really be healthy and fit by investing just four minutes of your day in exercise? Apparently, it is possible and FWD Life is showing Filipinos how they can be healthier and fitter pursue their passions and live the life they dream of.

     To encourage more Filipinos to start living a healthy lifestyle, FWD Life recently launched a health and wellness movement aptly called Live to Move—premised on the idea that attaining better health is key in living life to the fullest.

FWD Life for a Healthy and Fit Filipino, One Move at a Time

     At the heart of the campaign is the FWD Motion, a specially designed four-minute metabolic fitness (MetaFit) workout which has a health benefit equivalent of up to one-hour exercise. Its four primary steps – jump, squat, push up, and lunge – will encourage Filipinos to get into their exercise gear and start moving. Short, simple, and effective, the four primary steps easily encourage people to work outregardless if they are novice, intermediate or advanced fitness enthusiasts. 

     FWD Motion is a simple regimen. Its four primary steps can be integrated into daily activities and can be done anywhere, reducing the need to go to the gym or attend a workout class. Having been developed by celebrity fitness coaches Jim and Toni Saret (“The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition Season 2,”“Fit Filipino Movement”), who are also the campaigncollaborators, it is scientifically-proven to make an individual lose as much as 600 calories, depending on the intensity of execution and number of repetitions. 

FWD Life for a Healthy and Fit Filipino, One Move at a Time

     “FWD encourages Filipinos to be healthier through the Live To Move movement and it matches perfectly with our advocacy. Through Live To Move and the FWD Motion, we are able to motivate people to start moving in as short as four minutes only, so they can live better and healthier lives,” said Coach Jim Saret. 

    Coaches Jim and Toni Saret are also healthy lifestyle ambassadors of the Philippine Heart Association (PHA), the official advocacy partner of Live To Move. FWD Life supports PHA’s 52100 advocacy, a simple guide to remind people of the essentials of good health, with each number representing a daily target: five (5) servings of fruits and vegetables, two (2) hours maximum recreational screen time, one (1) hour of moderate activity, zero (0) sugared drinks, and zero (0) smoking/secondhand smoke.

FWD Life for a Healthy and Fit Filipino, One Move at a Time

     “This partnership enables PHA to further promote public awareness on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We are also grateful that through Live To Move, FWD is able to support our 52100 advocacy which encourages Filipinos to adopt simple heart-friendly daily habits,” said Dr. Alex Junia, Philippine Heart Association President.

     The campaign started with the FWD Motion online video challenge wherein participants post their workout videos featuring their passions and their variations to the four primary steps. It continues with the Live To Move Tour, a series of health and wellness-themed pocket events around Metro Manila which includes group activities called Move to the Beat (Hip Hop), Move to the Groove (Zumba), Move to Fight (boxing and cardio), and Move to the FWD Motion (MetaFit). It will culminate on October 24 with the Live To Move Grand Festival where participants will enjoy exciting activities and rewards in surrounding booths for free medical consultation, cooking sessions, group workouts, and a free-for-all wellness concert.

     Campaign participants are entitled to raffle entries which give them the chance to win exciting lifestyle gadgets during the tour and the grand festival. 

     “We have established Live To Move as a platform and the FWD Motion as a key workout routine to encourage Filipinos to start living a healthy lifestyle so they can pursue their passions. We are committed to lead the cause for Filipinos’ health and wellness in the life insurance industry, since we strongly believe in the benefits of living a healthy and more active life,” said FWD Life President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Grimes.

The Joys of Being a Cohen Mommy Press Launch

     The road to motherhood is not a smooth journey. Many women struggle in different aspects of motherhood like their identity, becoming a nurturer, a teacher and an inspiration for their children. We may think that when one becomes a mother, life will just be confided in the four corners of our home. Some women after giving birth just focus on the welfare of their family that's why they tend to ignore themselves- they become unaware of their physical appearance. In my experience, the number one problem that I encountered after giving birth is losing all the weight I gain during pregnancy. It's hard to lose post pregnancy weight especially when you cannot find the right diet and exercise for you. It may result into crash or yoyo diet if you have no idea what kind of food is right for you. So if you think you're in a situation what most moms worry about after giving birth, don't lose hope because Cohen Lifestyle Centre is here to help you lose weight by their diet program where Food becomes your medicine. Cohen Lifestyle Centre also helps women trying to conceive and treat obesity for you to become fit and fab moms and grand moms. Since this month is special for mother's like me, let me share with you the joys of being a Cohen mommy :) Click CONTINUE READING to see their testimonials about the Cohen Lifestyle Program
