Electric Studio – The Most Positive Workout Experience

It was in September 2014 when I had a short meeting with Kristina Sy, the founder of Electric Studio, to discuss about about the opening of the first boutique indoor cycling studio in the country. I am the type of a fitness instructor who is always very enthusiastic in discovering the latest and effective fitness trends, so I decided to show up for the Electric Studio audition with my husband, ...

Instead of Dieting, Feed Your Body with Positivity

Most dieters would love to try the latest diet or sign up for a weight loss program, follow it for sometime, achieve results and make best efforts to sustain a whole new lifestyle. But then, most of them will always revert back to their original lifestyle behaviors, because their minds and bodies are not physically, mentally and emotionally prepared to stick to a certain type of program on a long-term ...

Valentine’s Special: Secrets to Staying Fit, Healthy and in Love

I’ve been married to my husband, Armand, for more than 8 years. We started our relationship in 2002, while working together as fitness trainers in one of the biggest fitness centers in Makati. A few years before that, we were already familiar with each other because we came from the same school and we had the same course in college (physical therapy from De La Salle University -Health Sciences Campus). ...

MITCH’S RECIPE: Quinoa with Moringa and Mushroom

I love to mix chopped veggies with grains like brown and red rice because it makes my meal more colorful, healthier and super satisfying. However, my food intake now is mostly plant-based (started almost 5 months ago), so this year, I will incorporate more quinoa in my eating plan since it contains a high amount of protein (actually considered as a seed) than rice (1 cup rice= 5 grams protein, ...

3 Practical Strategies to Control Cravings

I respect everyone’s diet. I cannot force my clients, friends and family to always follow my way of eating because I believe that each person has a unique physiological make-up, lifestyle, food preferences, beliefs and goals.

My Approach to New Year’s Resolutions

Why do some people keep on repeating the same “New Year’s Resolution” every year? Here are the reasons I’ve identified: “I will lose weight this year.” Resolutions are too general and less action-oriented. If you want to lose weight, then enumerate specific action plans that can lead you to your goal. “I will not eat junk foods anymore.” Unrealistic resolutions brought about by perfectionist attitude can make you abandon your behaviour change efforts ...

Positive Body

I’ve been contemplating about writing a wellness blog for sometime now. Due to personal reasons, I needed to rest from work last month (December 2017) and that’s when I finally decided to pursue a website dedicated to those who want to take diet and exercise to the next level. As a lifestyle and fitness coach for almost 18 years, I’ve witnessed how sedentary lifestyle, weight obsession, overexercising and yo-yo dieting ...
