The Best Things I Like about Running

I was not able to ‘Outrun Myself’ during the Rexona Run 2012 but I am happy. Happiness is the biggest thing running has brought to me.

Running has always been a great activity for me. I feel so good whenever I run and I must say that it really gives me a lot of benefits; physical and mental health wise.

Cohen's Program, Weight Loss and Wellness through Nutrition

Karen Gayle-Sison is a graduate of Cohen's program at Cohen’s Lifestyle Centre. She had experienced bad things during her college days because she was obese.



Thanks to Cohen(weight loss program) because she achieved the ideal weight for her body, age and lifestyle. Now she feels more confident and enjoys what she eats with proper nutrition.

Karen admits that she had a mindset of justifying that she is not fat alone. "I will always found somebody fatter than me"

But started to gain more weight when she was in college. "I would order 2-3 cups of rice and would eat on a regular basis" she confessed. The result gained her 20 pounds in as early as 2 terms.

Is it possible to lose as much as 10 lbs. in a month?

Because I would like to know the answer to this question I went to an intimate dinner with people who made it. Present during the dinner was Rescina Bhagwani, Karen Gayle-Sison and Jeffrey Tan who were all graduates of Cohen's program.

To know more about the Cohen Program, visit the Cohen's Lifestyle Centre at Suite 1006, 10th Floor Medical Plaza Makati Building, Amorsolo cor. dela Rosa Streets, Legaspi Village, Makati City.

High Blood Pressure Reduction Solutions

Is Diet, Exercise and Weight Loss Enough? Do you have high blood pressure or doctor diagnosed hypertension?

If you do I want to share with you my unique discovery about lowering blood pressure naturally with out the use of hypertension medication. Both you know and know that the true cause of high blood pressure is not known; it is quite obvious that that both the medical and pharmaceutical companies know how to treat the symptoms through a prescription for medication.

Adidas Opens Registration for The Adidas King of The Road 2012

A press launch was held at Aracama for the opening of Adidas King of The Road 2012. Spearheaded by it's endorsers Chris Tiu, Robi Domingo, Tessa Prieto-Valdes and more. It was well attended by the press and media crowd as well as the running community and bloggers. The program was hosted by Boys Night Out DJ's Slick Rick, Toni Toni and Sam YG

Diet Soda Is it Really Good for Weight Loss?

We all know by now that soda (aka "pop" in some areas) is one of the most evil things you can put in your body… the nasty chemicals, the gut-fattening high fructose corn syrup, and a myriad of health problems caused by this carbonated cocktail worshipped by those that don't care about their health or body.

Since you're one of my subscribers, I know that you actually do care about your health and the appearance of your body.

Surprisingly, many people falsely believe that "diet" soda is in some way a good thing for losing body fat.  In fact, I hear people all the time proudly state that they eat so healthy and only drink diet soda.

The Latest Trends of Allura Body Contour and Slimming Center

Quite a few times that I've visited Allura Body Contour and Slimming Center seeing the bikini body of Cristine Reyes in their ad. At last I got the chance to experience some of their treatment. The same treatment Cristine had, when she did the box office movie No Other Woman.

During my visit at Allura I realized two things. The importance of having good health and the importance of religiously doing it.

Maintaining an appropriate weight for your body is important specially at young age. "You don't need to wait aging before you start caring for your body" Miss Mari(Allura) advises.

This is not a secret but proper nutrition, exercise, and weight loss techniques is beneficial to health, so putting your knowledge to work by actually living a healthy lifestyle will lower your risk of cardiovascular diseases, obesity and other ailments.

Learning about weight maintenance and educating yourself on this aspect can be a key ingredient to a healthy lifestyle so I tried going to Allura.

During my body assessment I was advised to have lipo cavitation and bio ultra tone treatment. Every client must undergo body assessment because they tailor programs to each individual's specific need to deliver the results that you are looking for.

Lipo cavitation is the best treatment for fat destruction. It is an exciting new treatment which improves the overall appearance of an area that contains excess fat or cellulite.

While Bio Ultra Tone is the ultimate answer to a streamlined well toned body which can be achieved through strenous physical activities associated with fitness enthusiasts who spend endless hours in fitness clinics.

Bio Ultra Tone vs. Gym Exercise

"Mas mabilis ang effect in a lesser timeline" said Ms. Mari
In gym, you become hungry because you lost a lot of energy, but in this treatment only the muscles gets tired, you burn calories without replacing the energy. Since calories play an important role on losing and maintaining weight.

It only takes 30 minutes for Lipo cavitation and another 30 minutes for Bio Ultra Tone.

Prices
Lipocavitation costs 3,500/session while Bio Ultra Tone costs 1,800/session. This is perfect for those with ideal body weight who wishes to maintain it.

Effects:

LIPO-CAVITATION:

• Break 10 mm of fat tissue in 10 minutes
• Results compare to liposuction
• Ideal for heavily dimpled thighs and bulging abdomens.

BIO ULTRA TONE:

• Ultimate answer for those that desire a streamlined TONED BODY.
• Ideal to individuals who spend endless hours in the gym.
• Immediate results – up to 4 cm in a single session
• Increases body metabolism
• Whole body treatement

Downside:

Only minor pain but will not last for a day.
