Medicard Philippines, one of the leading health maintenance organizations, joined hands with MetaFit and created the Medicard-Metafit Fitness Boot Camp. Dr. Nicky Montoya(for Medicard) and Coach Jim Saret (METAfit founder and famous Sports and Fitness Science Specialist) signed the contract last February 7, 2013. Present in the contract signing were Ms. Kate Cruz-Joaquin, Medicard Philippines Marketing Manager; and Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition finalists and METAfit coaches, Raffy Tan and Hazel Chua.

The Medicard-Metafit Fitness Boot Camp started last February 25, 2013 (sold out agad!) at the Medicard Lifestyle Center in Paseo De Roxas corner Buendia, Makati City. Hopefull this is not the first boot camp from them (let’s keep pur fingers crossed!)

Before the boot camp started, there was a trial session also held at Medicard Lifestyle Center last February 16, 2013. Bloggers and some participants got to experience Metafit and what can be expected at the bootcamp.

The training started with a warmp up-  10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 pushups, 10 lounges per leg- AMRAP (as manu rounds as possible) for 4 minutes (nyak warm up pa lang un?!?) After that comes the Enter the 50/10- participants were made to do as many repetitions as they can of a specific exercise within 50 seconds with a 10 seconds rest in between.

I can’t imagine what the bloggers and participants went through during the try out.. doon nga lang sa 4 minute eh hinihingal na ako, paano pa kaya if it includes the second set? ayayay! Pero sana din nakasama ako during the trial.. that would be another experience to blog about 🙂

Immuvit MetaFit Challenge Continues..

I already shared this to you, but let me do it again..

That’s how I look before MetaFit and 4 weeks after, you can see a big difference on my tummy. I think I lost 5 inches on my waistline, from 38 inches to 33 inches.

When I started MetaFit, my goal was simple, to finish the one month challenge.. but as the day goes on, I challenge myself to do more round in Metafit and was able to do it. Another goal was to lose weight, which I did, from 144 lbs I am now at 140 lbs. It was hard at the first week but specially that I have to change my eating habit, but as I go on, the habit grew on me and one month after, I can say, I eat healthier (err except for Milk Tea which is an occasional treat for myself).

So what did Immuvit (and MetaFit) did to me?

Immuvit is a herbal dietary supplement that contains 2 kinds of ginseng that gives energy boost and for a busy mommy like, Immuvit proves to be a very helpful supplement. Doing MetaFit 2-3x a day requires a lot energy, then there’s the household chores, the demands of my family and other activities, Immuvit is my source of energy, helping me meet the demands of a busy mommy. With the help of Immuvit and MetaFit I became stronger and fitter and slimmer!

As the day continues, I plant to continue what I have started.. doing MetaFit at least 2 times a day. You ca read about my MetaFit journey here as well as the routines for each week:

Week 1: (alternate Set a and set b for week one: read my Immuvit MetaFit Week 1 experience here)

Week 2: (click here to read my Week 2 experience)

Week 3: (click here to read my Week 2 experience and to watch Pinoy Biggest Loser Eric Limatog demo of week 3 routine)

Week 4: Alternate the routines from week 1 to week 3 (click here to read my Week 2 experience and to watch my video for week 2 routine)

MetaFit and Immuvit is designed for busy people like us, if you have been looking for the best exercise/ weight loss program for you, try MetaFit and you will know the difference.. it’s only 4 minutes, so there is no reason why you wouldn’t be able to do it.

Immuvit MetaFit Challenge Final Week

Allow me to humiliate myself…. 

Now, let me justify.. the first photo, that’s 4 kids, 5 hours a day on the PC (lunch included), there’s frappe in there, and can you see the nutella? or how about the doughnuts and cups of rice? not to mention ZERO exercise. Wag nyo na ako kutusan, I already did that more than once. Yes I acted like as if I don’t care about my health and my body. When I was diagnosed with Kidney Stones, that was my wake up call. I became more conscious with my health and the food I eat. That was also the time that I started moving and exercising. So when I was invited to join a one month weight loss challenge I did not hesitate. See the result? (obvious naman di ba)

Let me make it clear ha, the challenge, I learned was not about loosing weight but more on getting fitter (and losing weight was one of the benefits). And as you can see, my tummy’s reaping the reward 🙂 Aside from the big change on my bulge, I also feel a lot stronger (note: hindi na ako hinihingal magpanhik panoog sa mga overpass sa Makati! woot!) and my resistance is better too, not to mention that I got a lot compliments on how young I look nowadays (teehee).

Say hello to MetaFit.. old time readers are familiar with this by now.. been blogging about it every week. This week is the final week for the challenge, hence I posted my photo. Here’s a short  summary (short lang promise) on how I achieved a smaller tummy (without going under the knife hehe):

Of course I do Metafit every day (or almost, I think I missed one or 3) and with the help of Immuvit, I was never out of energy. Immuvit is a herbal dietary supplement that contains 2 kinds of ginseng that gives energy boost.

Aside from MetaFit and taking Immuvit, here are some other things that helped me:

  • No colored drinks (coffee, milk tea, juie, etc) as mush as possible, stick with water. It was hard, specially the first week, then I learned that cold turkey is not my game, so I allow myself to have a taste of drinks from time to time. And if I do, I make sure that I do MetaFit more than once.
  • I also avoided sweets and count my calories intake, I limit it to 1200-1500 calories a day. Yes I spent some hours researching about calories.
  • I also sleep earlier and drink more water.
Coach Jim also told us to eat 6 small meals a day, and though it’s hard, specially that I am used to eating 3 heavy meals a day, I obliged. I usually have cereal drink and banana in the morning, banana and bread for 2nd meal, 1/3- 1/2 cup of rie + viand for 3rd meal, bread on the 4th, banana on the 5th and rice and viand as my 6th meal. There were days that I missed but my body and stomach got used to it after some days.
As for doing MetaFit, I record the rounds I did for the day (example, 5 rounds + 5 push ups). In that way, I can tract my progress as well as beat myself the next day (or next MetaFit). There were times that I do MetaFit 2x a day. My ultimate goal is to do it 3x a day. It’s only 4 minutes, so there is no reason why I should not.
I do my first set in the morning, as soon as I wake up. You know we all have the tendency to put it off, thinking it is only 4 minutes, but we end up not doing it. So it would be better to do it as soon as you wake up… it’s only 4 minutes! Another advantage of doing it as soon as you wake up is, you still have enough energy to do MetaFit unlike when you delay it and then you’d be too weak to even raise your hand that you need to eat in order to gain energy and of course if you eat first, you still have to wait 2 hours before doing since to allow digestion of food. Got the point?
After MetaFit, I drink Immuvit then eat my breakfast. I learned that eating right after doing MetaFit is very effective specially in weight loss management. Right after working out, your body’s still burning calories, so just imagine the benefits of eating while your body is burning calories.

Lastly, a tip from Coach Jim: if you feel like MetaFit is easy, then you’re doing it wrong. It should feel like the longest 4 minutes of your life.. ung tipong minumura mo na ung 4 minutes, bakit ang tagal tagal?!? 

————

You might wonder why only 4 minutes? and no warm? no cool down? MetaFit is a short  high-intensity cardiovascular exercise that was designed to reverse Somatopause. This is a health condition where our body’s  production of growth hormones decreases. Short, high intensity work out is a way to reverse somatopause as during the work out, when oxygen debt has been reached, it triggers growth hormone release. Oxygen debt is the time when you are almost out of breathe, your body answers by trying to replenish oxygen through raising heart rate.

The one month Immuvit MetaFit challenge involves doing different kinds of exercise every week, two alternate exercises on the first week and on the fourth week, it is an alternate of the exercises from the past week.. Here’s a short summary:

Week 1: (alternate Set a and set b for week one: read my Immuvit MetaFit Week 1 experience here)

  • Set A exercise: 10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 push ups, 10 lunges (both legs)…10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 push ups, 10 lunges (both legs)… 10 jumping jacks, 10 squats, 10 push ups, 10 lunges (both legs)… until 4 minutes is up
  • Set B: 10 sealed jacks,  10 power squats &  10 push ups…10 sealed jacks,  10 power squats &  10 push ups…10 sealed jacks, 10 power squats & 10 push ups…until 4 minutes is up

Week 2: (click here to read my Week 2 experience and to watch my video for week 2 routine)

  •  10 touch toes, 10 squat jumps and 10 alternate lunges…. 10 touch toes, 10 squat jumps and 10 alternate lunges…. 10 touch toes, 10 squat jumps and 10 alternate lunges….until 4 minutes is up
Week 3: (click here to read my Week 2 experience and to watch Pinoy Biggest Loser Eric Limatog demo of week 3 routine)
  • 10 mountain climbers, 10 half burpees and 10 ski jumps…10 mountain climbers, 10 half burpees and 10 ski jumps…10 mountain climbers, 10 half burpees and 10 ski jumps…until 4 minutes is up.

Week 4: Alternate the routines from week 1 to week 3..

  • Day 1 is week 1a  routine, Day 2 is week 1b routine, Day 3 is week 2 routine, Day 4 is week 3 routine and so on.

After a month of doing it, I actually have no idea what to do next but if I would not get an update from Coach Jim, I guess I will have to continue doing the routines, beginning again from week 1 routine and so on. I guess it will be some kind of a cycle every month and will just have to beat my record every time.

Let me give you a little run down of how my week 4 transpired. Based on my record, this is the most routine I can do in each rotuine:

  • Week 1 Routine A: 4 rounds + 2 lunges
  • Week 1 Routine B: 5 rounds + 5 power jacks
  • Week 2 Routine: 5 rounds + 6 squat jumps
  • Week 3 Rotuine: 5 rounds

On Week 4 where I have to do it alternately for a week, I made it a point to beat my record:

  • Week 1 Routine A: 5 rounds + 10 jumping jacks
  • Week 1 Routine B: 6 rounds
  • Week 2 Routine: 5 rounds + 6 alternate lunges
  • Week 3 Rotuine: 4 rounds + 10 mountain climbers

Hopefully, each week I can do more rounds. I also have to work out on achieving the oxygen debt stage.. which sometimes do not happen. So I really need to be more intense with the routines.

I will post another update after 2 weeks and we’ll see if by the end of second month, I’ll be reunited with line of 2 waistline.. (I lost 5 inches on my waist line by the way).

FYI, from being Large in race singlet, I am now Medium! After a month, let’s see if SMALL will fit me 🙂
