It Is More Fun To Be fit With Mom & Me


We all have  heard not just once that people who plan to start their way towards fitness put them on hold mostly because of lack of time. These people, especially Moms always point out the unending demands of parenthood that get in the way and how they barely have time for themselves at all. As a Mom of seven who are now mostly teens, I do understand where they are coming from. It is really very hard to squeeze time for oneself, even time for fitness especially if you have toddlers and have no hired help. You do your best to exercise at home and try as you must, such efforts fail due to irregularity in schedules, lack of focus and discipline as well. And when this happens, there is this longing wish that the kids will soon grow up, become independent and you will have more time not just for fitness but for yourself as well.

Nowadays it takes a lot of creativity to bond with ones' kids especially when it comes to fitness. The challenge to invite or encourage at times fail simply because children do not see such interests or focus on the parents themselves. Since kids look up to their parents as models and live what they see, it is but important that the interest to get fit and healthy should start from within, from us, parents. And once this is achieved, it will be a great way to bond and to in calculate  living healthy day to day.

In connection to this , MOM & ME , a community that fosters loving bond of fun active Moms with their little ones through activities that they can do together, has lined up a series of health and fitness activities for Moms and their kids on all four Saturdays of March. Activities such as Yoga, Aero- Mash up, swimming and a lot more would definitely help sweat out those unwanted pounds, de stress and create such positive energy for both Moms and kids alike. What more you can have Dads tag along   not just to take pictures but to join in the fun as well.

Live Healthy At Eastwood City


It had been more than a month since the last time I had written a post. The busy holiday season plus the extra weight I have gained made me focused more in getting fit and being conscious of what I eat plus the fact that I intend to have my first 10K run on March 16th. Not only that, a cousin from CA will have her renewal of vows in our hometown and it will be sort of a reunion where my Uncle and all of his kids plus a couple of grandkids will visit the Philippines after many years. And what made it more stressful was the fact that I will be one of the bridesmaid.

Ugh!

So what does an anti social 45 year old gray haired woman needs to do ? She does the inevitable, of course and the first among the lists was to loose weight. So far I am getting the habit of facing the challenge especially it will just be eight days before the event.

No  pressure indeed.

Since I started my year focusing more on getting healthy and fit, I again became more alert on upcoming  fitness and wellness events. While browsing the net, I chanced upon one on the CURVES-Serendra Facebook page where Megaworld Lifestyle Malls and Eastwood City invites all health enthusiasts, fitness buffs and those who intend to get fit this year as they launch the Live-Healthy-at-Eastwood-City Wellness Campaign where anybody who want to start the year with a healthy lifestyle will find not just a variety of dining choices but fitness activities as well, from January 18 to March 15.






Isn't that amazing ? Imagine three months of free weekend work out by Fitness First and Curves    every Saturday at the Eastwood Mall Open Park where registration starts at 8am and is absolutely free to anybody.


So if one of your New Year's resolutions  is to loose weight  especially for health reasons, I encourage all of you to take advantage of these free weekend  exercises at Eastwood City and I assure you it will be worth every unwanted pound that you will shed off as you start the year right by getting fit.
