On The Way To METAFitness

The whole time I was working in Manila, I never participated in any physical activity. No running, no yoga, and no dancing. Nothing. That's about 4 years' worth of stressful, toxic and sedentary life.

So now that I'm back in Cebu with lots of time in my hands, I have no more excuse not to work on being healthier and getting back in shape. That's why I decided to join the METAfit Fitness Boot Camp led by Coach Alan Choachuy. The 6-week/18-session camp boasts of being the only fitness boot camp in Cebu offering fitness, motivational and nutritional coaching to its participants. Coach A used to be a Biggest Loser Philippines contestant, so we're already expecting to undergo the same training that he went through while inside the Biggest Loser Camp.

Yesterday was the first session, which was spent on taking our body measurements, weight, blood pressure and BMI reading. This is to track our progress, I guess. Then they also had us do 7 activities to measure our fitness level, which they will later on use to divide us into different fitness groups. Here are some pictures from yesterday's activity: (Disclaimer: the pictures are not mine, all were taken from the METAfit Cebu Facebook Page)

I will try to give you a regular update of the sessions, but here's a sneak peek of what we're expecting to happen in the next few weeks:

After the 6 weeks, I will post my Before and After pictures and measurements so you can see the difference. I'm hoping that the change is significant hehe. Anyway, I'm positive that partnered with the right diet, the camp will do wonders for me and my health!
