Perfect Timing!

Last Friday, I was invited to join the Launch and Blogging event of Fit ‘n Right, the first fruit juice that markets L-Carnitine as an effective food ingredient that helps burn fats.

I’m looking forward to this event, primarily, because since I’m on a diet, I know that I’ll learn something out of this event to help me reduce my weight and tone my muscles.  And secondly, I’m excited because the event will be held at Taste Asia at SM Mall of Asia, I know that I’ll get a chance to eat my favorite seafood dish, the Shrimp Thermidor.

The organizers and usherettes welcomed us warmly. They led us to this sumptuous buffet table where we can eat as many as we can. Niiiiice! I love it!

Hello, Shrimp Thermidor!

BUT!

During the event, we were introduced to a lot of people. People who opened our eyes to reality – BEING SEXY IS NOT ALWAYS BEING FIT AND RIGHT.

And that was the time I felt guilty. Guilty because I ate a lot! When I saw that Shrimp Thermidor, I forgot that I’m on a diet! My gosh! What have I done to deserve this?! Hahahahaha!

Seriously, I felt bad after eating that overly luscious dinner. Plus, having this very delectable dessert, I’m guilty as charged.

The man of the hour was this guy:

Coach Jim Saret

Coach Jim Saret is a sport scientist who obtained his MS Sports Science degree from Brigham Young University in the US. He is a core training expert and a sports and fitness writer and lecturer. Currently, he is the Sports Program Head of the Ateneo de Manila University and the Strength and Conditioning Coach of the PBA, POC, and the PSC.

I’m so glad that I had a chance to sit and listen in one of the greatest lectures on living fit and right.

Learning F.I.T or the Fast Intense Training as an effective way to lose calories in your body is really awesome!

In  the event, he had a guy who weighs, I think, 200 pounds or more demonstrated to us his 4-minute exercise. After four minutes, he lost 96 calories. We were delighted and we can’t help but to clap, but Coach Saret interrupted us immediately and told us, that it was just the beginning. And into our amazement, after one and a half hourh while the lecture continues and the guy just sat in one corner, with the help of his body calorie meter, he lost as much as 400+ calories in his body! I cannot believe it at first, but, hell, yeah, I saw it all with my own two eyes! Really amazing!

The secret?
Del Monte Fit ‘n Right!

And to prove that it wasn’t a joke, he asked three bloggers to participate and perform the said F.I.T. exercise. And in just four minutes again, the three bloggers, Dani, Earth and Jeff were all sweating and catching up breath.

According to Coach Saret, the guy drank a bottle of Fit ‘n Right TWO HOURS BEFORE he did his 4-minute exercise, which was the suggested time allowance for Fit ‘n Right to circulate all over our body.

Coach Saret also brought some of his team members to demonstrate other exercises which only need few easy gadgets, which implied that you can exercise anytime and anywhere you like. There’s really no need to go to the gym! Less expenses, more calories burned!

And in line with F.I.T., they also informed us about the upcoming “Dare to be Fit ‘n Right Fun Run.”

Dare to be Fit Fun Run

As to inform you, guys, one of my weekly must-dos recently is to run every Sunday at Quirino Grandstand, my simple way to tone my wiggly belly and to strengthen my heart and lungs. And now with this F.I.T. as an addition to my exercise routine, and Fit ‘n Right juice drink of course, this Fun Run will be nothing but a  happy, sweaty and healthy day.

I know that most of us are too lazy to exercise, and with the Christmas holiday coming, exercises can wait. But it’s wrong -- TOO WRONG!

I believe that it is better to start exercising at this early time, so that by the time that Christmas holiday comes, our metabolism is already different. Our body can acquire as much food as we want and can already burn the calories quickly because of our fit and right routine.


Now is never too late!


♫Let’s get physical, physical! ♫

So now, our refrigerator is equipped for this goal! Cowabungga!
