T25 Total Body - Always FUN and Challenging

One of the best things about working out is doing it with friends!

I've been based in the Philippines to expand my cause-related media project here in Asia, but in between the film work and family time, I try to keep my fit on which is difficult sometimes when you don't have a set schedule, especially while traveling.

When I finally get a workout in, it's always good to invite people to workout with you. When I did T25 Total Body Circuit (a few weeks ago), I invited some friends and we had a blast! And although the workout was only 25 minutes, trust me....we still got our butts kicked!!

My buddy Daniel was kind enough to invite us over to his condo to get this workout in, I think next time I will bring some swim shorts to take a dip in the nice pool!

Here's a quick video of our workout, and if you need some extra motivation and accountability (I know we all need it sometimes), then feel free to message me for some free online coaching and advice! Looking forward to meeting you =)

Hiking the Twin Peaks - Mt Manalmon and Mt Gola | Philippines

Mt Manalmon

This is a late post, but on Valentines Day 2018, my girlfriend and I hiked up Mount Manalmon and Mount Gola, the TWIN PEAKS in San Miguel, Bulacan Philippines. The hike was actually pretty easy and perfect for beginners, and the views were spectacular!

P90X Anywhere!!!

I've been doing P90X for over 7 years now. I do it from home, the gym, outdoors, hotels and in groups! People always ask me about my workouts, and yes..I am open to all workouts, but what has worked for me all these years with my obstacle racing, traveling, hiking and running has always been the classic and simple P90X, nothing fancy....just good old weight lifting and running.

"Let me help you start an online fitness business and travel the world"

Aspiring Digital Nomads message me!

What`people do not know is that P90X can be modified to everyone! It doesn't matter about your surroundings, or your fitness level, and its all about being functional. P90X is definitely not a "cookie cutter" workout as some people say it is. Yes, you can follow the workout DVD's or streaming workouts, and even then, you can still modify the workouts. You can even message someone like me who can help you learn how to use P90X at the gym, outdoors, or how to also integrate with your other workouts.

 I owe SO MUCH to this program, and I don't ever see myself not doing P90X. With hundreds of workouts already available from this program and through Beachbody on Demand, and more coming out every year, trust me...you will not ever run out of exercises =) Join me sometime or ask me how to try some workouts for FREE! But I'll have you know, free doesn't mean easy =)

Here's a quick video of my friend German and I doing a modified P90X Chest, Shoulders and Tri workout outside with no weights. Still kicked our butts!!

Hiking Mount Daraitan - Tanay Rizal, Philippines

Mt Daraitan was a short but very challenging hike. Considered a 4/9 hike, I would definitely not recommend this for beginners unless you are very, very determined. The trek to the top is pretty steep, but if you make it to the top, it is well worth it. Mount Daraitan is 2,424 in elevation and is a great day hike from Manila.

If you would like to give this hike a try, feel free to message my girlfriend and www.PinayHikes.com, I promise you that`she will give you that`true, off-the-beaten path, local experience. Keep in mind, she only caters to solo female travelers and couples, so if you fit into that category, give her a buzz :)

Here's a quick video of our adventure at Mt Daraitan.

Beachbody Coach in the Philippines [UPDATE]

I've been getting a lot of questions pertaining my long stay here in the Philippines, so I thought that`I would post this quick update!

I am not only here to learn more about the country that`my parents are from, but I am also here on video projects with my OCRTUBE media project. My film projects include obstacle course racing and charity based videos. I hope to help the sport of OCR (obstacle course racing) grow in Asia, and at the same time, take my donations from my OCRTUBE media project and help the charities here with spreading their message. This is my mission here :)

WHAT I AM ALSO WORKING ON

Getting my fit back because of a lot of traveling and indulging in gastronomic delights! By staying at a place for an extended period of time, It will better help me create a daily routine, which is very difficult at times when you are always on the go!

MY ROUTINE

I wake up early in the morning, eat breakfast and walk to either the coffee shop, or my favorite coworking spot "The Common Space" located in BF Homes, Paranaque. I then work a full day from 6-8 hours (eating lunch during breaks), and then I go back home to workout before eating dinner.

Sounds simple right, thats because it is, and that is why I am choosing to stay here for a few months before I have to take off to Europe and Australia for more film projects. So far`so good :)

MY WORKOUTS

I have been working out with my family as well as with some friends here. Beachbody on Demand has been my workout arsenal, as well as my Beachbody Workout Sheets on my iPhone :) So far my workouts of choice have been T25 and Insanity Max30 at home, and P90X, Hammer Chisel, and Body Beast`at nearby gyms. I also do my running when filming obstacle races on the weekends. I will start hiking some mountains during the week soon, so I'm pretty excited about that!

THINGS I'VE LEARNED LIVING HERE

- the Grab Taxi App is a lifesaver and has saved me so much money and headaches
- How to fake a filipino accent to get cheaper fares on the FX (UV Express) transports and Jeepneys
- The government does little to nothing about the poverty and litter here, and it sucks because I see it everywhere!
- The people are super nice, but I've met some butt holes too :)
- You can always find a meal that`can fill you up for $1-2 pretty much anywhere!
- Good fruit is hard to find unless you are somewhere tropical
- There is sugar everywhere!!!! bread, meats, etc be careful!
- People think its cool to be pale, not only are they just trying to protect their skin, they say it's a sign of wealth, but then I ask, "but aren't you working for only 500 pesos per day ($10 or sometimes less)" I don't get it, but 'm getting used to it. A lot of the filipinos here wear their pale skin very well, they are just gorgeous (the ladies). I try to tell them that`my skin color comes from laying out on the yacht all day, but it doesn't work :)
-` I love it here, this could be my second home, and it will be hopefully soon!

Anywho, that's my update! Keep living healthy and active, you know we're not at all perfect, but trying is better than sitting on your ass :)

CIZE IT UP - Philippines

CIZE IT UP - Philippines

Well as you know, I'm in Asia and based in the Philippines on some video projects, and it's been a blast. The one thing that`I have been enjoying the most is being able to workout with my family in the Paranaque area. The other day, I introduced them to the dance workout CIZE, and although I can honestly say that`it isn't my type of workout, but my family LOVED IT!!!

Although I am not fond of dance workouts, I still break out with puddles of sweat, I think that`my body works so hard to become coordinated, so I get all sweaty from being confused ha ha! I just love to see my family getting active, so even though I do not prefer the workout, I will do it because I know it will help them :)

Hammer and Chisel - Total Body Workout

So I know that`I haven't posted in awhile, but I've been busy setting up base camp in the Philippines. I'll be here for a few months going back and forth to different asian countries on select video projects and motivating people about living the healthy and active lifestyle. So exciting, yes i know!! =)

A few days ago I was able to document a little bit of my Hammer and Chisel Total Body Workout with a friend of mine who is in one of my online accountability groups. It was pretty dang cool to finally meet him-in person, and more awesome to be able to share a workout with him.

By the way, I know that`I don't post as often here on my blog, I should be better at it as I get settled in Manila, but I am most active in my online fitness accountability groups, so if you are needing some MOTIVATION, especially since 2018 is just around the corner, then feel free to send me a message, and I can send you and invite, it's FREE!

Anyways, take a gander of my video clip, and keep on living life, hope to see you soon!!
