Pilates with Toys

By | Health and Fitness | 2 Comments

My friends Jay and Carmen, owners of  B+B Studio , asked me to try this new class they have at the Manila Polo Club.  I went two weeks ago to check it out. The toy they used that day was the fitness circle.  Each class uses a different toy.

Boot Camp classes will provide a time-efficient approach to exercise. You work the whole body. You’re in and out. For most of us who are time-conscious, it’s a nice way to fit fitness in.  In a gym, you’re on your own, at Boot Camp you form a camaraderie with people, because you’re going through the challenges together.

The core of Boot Camp is that it is an overall, well designed, whole body workout. A fitter you will perform better in whatever sport you participate in, in whatever situation you find yourself in.  The classes are about progress, not perfection.   The class works with your abilities and encourages you to work at your own pace.Boot Camp will develop your strength, stamina and flexibility. The program combines cardiovascular and strength training exercises in a regimented 60 minute sessions.

People I bump into in the gym

By | Health and Fitness | No Comments
I am inspired by people who really take time out to take care of their health and keep themselves in shape. As my Dad de Jesus always says, “pray for good health.” But of course aside from praying for good health, we must do our part in trying to keep ourselves healthy by eating right and exercising. I am lucky I have a good personal trainer that gives me my weekly workout.

Tummy Trim

By | Health and Fitness, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

752427773503_0_bg.jpgit is definitely Heaven on the Fifth!  

There are two new things from Clarins Institut – Tummy Trim and E3P. 

While I was having my facial, my therapist told me about the new Tummy Trim Treatment, so I immediately asked her to try it on me. 

This invigorating regiment targets problem areas around the midriff from the waist to the abdomen and the hips, incorporating a comprehensive massage sequence with Clarins’ signature body contouring suite of PRO formula products to improve cellular exchange, breaking down stubborn fats and facilitating the elimination of waste and toxins. A silky plant-based mud wrap intensifies the draining process. This is a weekly treatment for around 3 to 4 weeks.  Of course, just like any weight loss program, you still need to keep a balanced diet and exercise.

When I went to the powder room, I saw a very interesting new product called E3P.  First time for me to see such a product. It is an ultra-sheer screen mist containing a combination of plant extracts capable of protecting the skin from the accelerated-ageing effects of all indoor and outdoor air pollution. A brand new protective step in skin care – not just for Clarins but for the industry worldwide – which is suitable for all skin types, for men as well as women.You can spray it over bare skin, over moisturizer and make-up, at any time and as often as you like. I sprayed on some E3P on my face and felt really refreshed and if it really does what it says, then it is a great discovery.

Clarins is my favorite brand for skincare and I treasure every moment when I go for a facial or body treatment…….It is my dream to have my own treatment room at home and have someone apply my Clarins products on me everyday both face and body  629947773503_0_bg.jpg
