As a fitness enthusiast, I love it when workouts are fun & varied. My friend Cristalle Henares introduced me to this cross training workout now avalable in Manila: Crossfit.
Crossfit is a fitness and lifestyle program that constantly uses different workouts (WODs or Workouts of the Day) everyday. It builds your competency to prepare you for any mental and physical consistency. It is designed to optimize physical competence and enhance cardiovascular and respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. According to Crossfit.com, it is the "principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide."
Executed at high intensity, workouts are no longer than 30 minutes and are timed, measured and done repeatedly. Workouts are based on organic, multi-jointed, natural movements. Proper technique and form are encouraged for maximum benefits.
Since Cristalle and I were newbies to the program, we were asked to an intro WOD composed of four types of exercise, as much rounds as we could within 20 minutes plus about 10 minutes ab workout afterwards.
Warm up: 20 reps jump rope
Main Workout: 1) wall balls, 2) pull ups, 3) box jumps and 4) burpees.
Ab workout: partner cranberry throws, ball passes up & down, & side to side
Cool down: Stretching
In the end, we was able to do 5 rounds but it was very intense. I had to stop a few times for about a minute to drink some water and catch my breath. But I love it! It was not only a really good workout, it was a lot of fun as well!
They hold Crossfit workouts in their Libis Gym, near Eastwood and at the AFP Gymnasium. You may contact them on twitter at @crossfitmnl.

A couple of weeks ago, typhoons Pedring (International name: Nesat) followed by Typhoon Quiel hit the Philippines one after another causing much damage to Central Luzon & Nueva Ecija. According to Inquirer, about 334,000 families were affected in the region, Bulacan being the worst hit province due to two rivers overflowed causing much damage to homes and livelihood in the area.
I had the rare priviledge of assisting Worldvision in the distribution of relief goods affected families in the area of Brgy. Sta Lucia in Calumpit, Bulacan. A large part of the road leading to the baranggay was still flooded and had been impassable for most vehicles for over a week. We had to ride military and dump trucks in order to pass through the thigh-high flood
When we got to the area of Brgy Sta Lucia, the flood had already subsided but I heard that the families there were unable to eat for about a week. Fortunately, Worldvision reached out to them as soon as they could. About 2,350 families received rice, canned goods & water. I was deeply touched when one mother asked to kiss and hug me as a gesture of thanks. It's gentle moments like that I value the most.
I'm amazed at how these survivors can still put on a smile inspite of what they have been through. I got the chance to talk to some of them & have heard of stories of the flood reaching to higher than human height. Families had to stay two days at the rooftop; they had no food for a week. One grandma even had a 10 day old baby with her. Three homes were washed out by the flood. I was inspired when one mother shared, "Di bale na ang gamit, napupundar iyon. Pasalamat na lang sa Diyos at buhay kami." So, amazed that in spite of that these people have been through, they can still manage to be grateful and have faith that somehow by God's grace, they will recover what they have lost.
Here's video of our relief distribution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3_IfR1ZGK4&feature=share
God bless you for your generous hearts.
