6 Weeks of THE WORK - A New Workout Program from Celebrity Trainer Amoila Cesar

Are you ready for Beachbody's Newest Workout Program?

6 Weeks of THE WORK was developed by Celebrity Strength and Conditioning Coach Amoila Cesar, his story on how he got started into health and fitness is pretty inspiring. The company Beachbody, my business affiliate partner is so amazing at choosing the BEST trainers in the world. Everyone has a story, check out Amoila Cesars story:



I just found out that this new workout program is AVAILABLE NOW though what's called VIP Early Access. This basically means that it is available through purchase of a Digital Challenge Pack. If you are already a Beachbody on Demand member, it would cost you an VIP EARLY ACCESS fee of about $37.46 USD. The program "6 Weeks of THE WORK" will make its debut on Beachbody on Demand (to the non-early access members) on April 2020. If you are not worried about getting access to the workout program now, you can always wait until April 2020 when it finally gets added to the member library on Beachbody on Demand.


I will be starting the program in a few weeks and will be getting the VIP Early Access because my ass needs to work LOL. I've been currently doing sporadic workouts on Beachbody on Demand, and not any sort of workout structure, which I feel I need at this point. With all the traveling and projects that I've been doing, it's been an issue for me to stay on track, so having a strict program to follow with someone who really pushes you should do me the trick! 

FYI, the workout program does have EXPLICIT LANGUAGE but it does offer a clean version. I think I'll be using the explicit version when the kids are not around, sometimes for me (and I can only speak for myself) I need someone to push me and yell at me, it's a motivator for me =).


So for some of you asking about what the program includes, here are some screen shots of what its all about and the different options to get started now.

THE WORK equipment Add-Ons (get all the equipment you need) - click here!


This is what THE WORK includes:
-  36 Workouts, the workouts are designed to get you stronger, leaner and more agile. The workout is complete with digital components such as: Get Started Guide, Fit Test, Workout Calendar, and Nutrition Guides. 

Equipment needed:
- Dumbbells (light to heavy), I'll be using a sandbag at first because I won't have any dumbbells (just moved into my new place in the Philippines). As always, use what you have and don't make any excuses just because you do not have all the equipment. Pick up some canned goods, a chair or a backpack...be creative and make it work. If you can find something to lift or push, use it! 
- It says you also need resistance loops and strength slides (just work with what you have, but if you can get these, it will make your workouts more effective) Use the equipment add on link above. 
- Chin up bar optional. I would definitely get a chin up bar, there are modifications for this, but the more you use a chin up bar, the more you will get better, and with that you will yield better results! 

This is what I'll be using for the time being =)

Supplements:
Of course supplements are always optional. All I really use is my all natural superfood shake Shakeology, and I occasionally use the recovery drink which is so delicious. Supplements all depend on you, but if you wanted to get my advice, this is what I would recommend:

-  Shakeology (take your pick of flavors, there are vegan options as well) This is my go to only option because it's just like having a meal, a pre workout and post workout. Its very versatile and only made with all natural ingredients from all over the world. Unfortunately it's only available in the USA, UK and Canada at the moment of this post, and that's because of how high quality the ingredients are, it's just difficult to produce in high volume, but I hope to see it become global soon. 

TRY BEFORE YOU COMMIT:

-  Recovery Drink, after doing an intense workout, most people don't realize how many calories and energy is lost, so replenishing this soon after a workout is important. This also helps with of course soreness. Sometimes if I do not have access to the recovery supplement, I drink chocolate milk. It's delicious but just not at all as nutritious as the BB recovery drink. 
-  Pre Workout, I don't use this very often unless I am dreading my workout, and I need a boost. There are days we all feel lazy, and this just gives me a boost to get my workout done. I definitely feel better right after, but that spike really helps on those days I have no motivation, you guys feel me right? =) Don't have this, or can't get it right now, just make a peanut butter and banana sandwich (about an hour prior to your workout), I do this all the time and it helps with getting that little bit of energy I need to pull me through a workout.

LASTLY

I think support and accountability is the key to success with any workout program or regiment. Some people join gyms or attend group fitness classes which are always good options. But these people cannot be with you 24/7, so an online support group which is available 24/7 is the best way to go. I mean you can do both, because let's face it, the more motivation that you have, the better! There's nothing like having a bad day and posting how you feel in an online group, and then within seconds, you have random people messaging you with a million reasons why you need to get off your butt. I guess that is why I became a Coach over 8 years ago, it's because I was able to get some amazing results, and it was all because of the support system, for me, that's the secret of success! There's no magic pill, it's just all about hard work, commitment, and REAL PEOPLE by your side. 

It's all about Fitness, Nutrition and Real People Support - No Short Cuts

A TYPICAL DAY Living in Cavite, Philippines

Philippines On a Budget, Typical Day Living in Cavite Philippines, Beachbody Coach Philippines, Filipino Beachbody Coach, Crypto Trader Philippines, iCoinPro Philippines, iCoinPro Asia, Bitcoin Trader Philippines


So I've been based here in the Philippines here since January 2019, and although I say that, I can't really say that I live here because I am constantly traveling for work and video projects. But when I am here, I tend to try to relax and focus on my family. Sometimes we get all caught up in wanting to be successful for our families that we simply forget to spend quality time with them.


Starting a family here in the Philippines has been wonderful! A lot of times I would rather not plan anything and just spend quality time with my girls at home, and we do this as much as we can =)

A typical day living here is Cavite is pretty laid back unlike living in the city of Manila. Where we live, it's like being in the province. It's definitely a lot slower here, and that's just perfect for us!

I have a lot of friends who are Digital Nomads or have their own online businesses, and I always tell them that living in Southeast Asia is perfect because the cost of living is very low, which enables you to save more, and invest more in your business. I do this quite often where Arlene and I will have our set budget weeks or days, and we try to keep things as minimal as possible. Doing this helps me do more for my business, and helps me organize my finances better.

(Ask to join my Free Online Health & Fitness Accountability Group)

Here is a quick video of a typical day living here in Cavite, Philippines. It's not quite the same everyday, but it's pretty close. When we are not staying home and budgeting, we're pretty much out exploring, and the Philippines has a ton of places to get lost in!

Enjoy our quick video, and if you ever make it to Southeast Asia or the Philippines specifically, feel free to message me, I'll be happy to show you around! =)

Project Bantu Philippines - An Inspiring Day Filming

Project Bantu, Project Bantu Philippines, Videography Fiverr, Best Promo Video Fiverr Gig, Arnel Banawa, OCRTUBE, Pay OCR Forward, Beachbody Coach Arnel, San Andres Bukid, Volunteer Opportunities Philippines Facebook


On September 14th, 2019, I spent the day in this very disadvantaged community in the city of Manila called San Andres Bukid. A few weeks ago I posted in a facebook group which catered to people who were interested in volunteering in the Philippines, and here is a screen shot of my post:

Volunteer Opportunities - Philippines
Project Bantu, Project Bantu Philippines, Videography Fiverr, Best Promo Video Fiverr Gig, Arnel Banawa, OCRTUBE, Pay OCR Forward, Beachbody Coach Arnel, San Andres Bukid, Volunteer Opportunities Philippines Facebook

Immediately after my post, I started getting flooded with messages in my inbox, I was so very excited! 

Project Bantu Philippines was among the first organizations to message me. I decided to reply after taking a quick look at their page. I really liked what they were doing with the children so very quickly, we set a date to film one of their classes right in the middle of San Andres Bukid. 

When I film charity based organizations, the one thing that I always look for is if the organizer really cares about the mission, or if they are just in it for the wrong reasons, I've seen this many times unfortunately. 


My first impression with Jaime Benedicto was that he had a big heart and was really passionate about his work. Jaime is the Project Director and Founder of Project Bantu Philippines, and he's been changing lives for over 6 years now! I spent a good 5 hours filming and getting inspired by him, and the teens who were actually also teaching the other children who once before, were in their shoes. It was nice to see the progression and the success that was happening in this organization. 

Arlene and Baby Penelope also came along with me for the support, and they had a blast playing with and watching the children. It was a family affair, and something that I want to continue doing as baby Penelope gets older. I hope that she will one day get inspired to help others just like her Daddy =).

So back to Project Bantu =)

Jaime and the organization are currently in the process of trying to build a new center for Project Bantu Philippines. As of now, they are hosting their classes in a community building. If you would like to assist them with this project for opening a new center, or would like to support them in any way, I will include the links below. 

Here is the video that I created for Project Bantu Philippines, it is just my way of giving back to the community. If you are reading this, and you run a non-profit, please feel free to contact me for consideration of my Free Video Production services, I look forward to hearing all about it!

First Time Taking Baby Penelope to Kinder City - Birthday Package Prices

With our baby Penelope's First Birthday just around the corner, we've been looking for places that would be the perfect place to celebrate. I think we found a place =)

The Kinder City at Vista Mall General Trias, Cavite is an indoor playground with all kinds of activities like rock climbing, jumping on trampolines, slides, and more. We were interested in this place because the facility was quite large and very clean! They also have a Kinder Cafe for quick bites, and they even have restrooms inside the play area so that you don't have to leave the facilities like the other smaller indoor playhouses.

Kinder City Birthday Package:

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON THE KINDER CITY BIRTHDAY PACKAGE:

If you live near a Kinder City, I highly recommend that you purchase what is called a Kinder City Kiddie Passport. The Passport costs about $1500 php ($30 USD) and is good for one year. The passport gives you a 10% discount on all visits, and even gives you a couple free entries, as well as a frequent customer stamp card where you can get more free plays for the kids. And guess what, if you are planning a birthday party, you can use the 10% discount on your party package, so instead of paying 25,000 php, you would pay 22,500 php (about $50 USD in savings). 


Now of course if you will not be visiting Kinder City all throughout the year, it probably won't be that good a deal for you, so you might as well just spend the 25,000 and have a great time! 

We purchased the Kinder City Passport about a week ago and took advanta
ge of one of the FREE visits. You can see our quick video here:

First Time at Kinder City


To all of the parents near the General Trias/Dasmarinas Cavite area, I hope that you found this post helpful. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to ask me any questions. I'll post our daughters Birthday Party video here soon! =)

FIRST TRIP TO MINDANAO (MT. APO) - Davao City, Philippines

I've always wanted to go to Mindanao since my first time visiting the Philippines as an adult in 2014. One of the main reasons for me was to hike the highest peak, which is Mount Apo.


First time in the Philippines in 2014 - Banaue Rice Terraces


Fast forward to 2019, five years later, I now have a small home in Cavite about an hour away from Manila. I started a family, and guess what,  I still haven't been able to pursue my goal of hiking Mount Apo.


And then came an opportunity to film an event in Davao City on August 25, 2019. I booked my tickets right away from Manila, and took my family with me. The only thing was, I would not be able to hike up Mount Apo with an infant, so the only option was to just take a tour to Mount Apo Natural Park and get a view of the highest peak. I know it isn't the same as trekking up, but we decided that we would wait until Penelope got a little older, and the view point would just be a taste of what would come at a later date.

One day I will hike Mount Apo, but having a family now, the decision making process is a little more tricky =) At any rate, I think that it would be much more fun to do it with the family, what a great adventure that would be! I don't think Mount Apo is going anywhere, so when we are ready, we will conquer it together!

Dhen Yhos Place - Mount Apo View Point


When we finally arrived to Davao City, I had to first film an event called the Dayaw OCR. What was cool about this is that the Dayaw OCR was the first obstacle course race in Mindanao, so that in itself was pretty cool to be a part of. The event was a success, the people were awesome, and I again helped the sport grow in a different place, so mission accomplished! =) If you want to watch the video that I created for Dayaw OCR, you can watch it here:


Dayaw OCR - Davao City, Philippines


The next day was dedicated to family, so I booked a private tour with a gentlemen by the name of Kuya Joey Davao with Davao Tour Package with Kuya Joey Davao. Now, I'm pretty sure that his last name isn't really Davao, but it makes for a catchy business name. We chose him first because he was almost 50% less expensive than the other tour companies. Traveling solo for many years, I really never went on tours because it was always better, and cheaper to do it on your own. But now having in infant, for me it's just much easier to have a professional tour guide to take us to some places so that we can focus on whatever baby Penelope needed, and not worry about getting lost. It definitely was a wise decision to hire a local to take us around.

With Kuya Joey Davao - Dhen Yhos Place


With Kuya Joey Davao, it was just us and no one else, and that is what I preferred. The day was totally customizable, and he made us feel like we were just like friends hanging out versus some corny tour with random people. We also wanted to go on our own versus with a group because if we needed to stop or rest, we could do that anytime, and not worry about holding the group up and getting off track with time. With Kuya Joey Davao, our schedule was on us, no time limits, we could take our own time and really soak in the sights without any pressure. It was such a great time.

I also wanted to point out that it was Arlene and Penelope's first time flying on a plane, so it was cool to see them experience something new. We flew via Cebu Pacific.

Of course we did not see everything that we wanted to see in Mindanao, but what we did see was enough to say that we'll be back for more.

Here is a quick video of our trip to Mindanao, and if you ever visit, give Kuya Joey Davao a call, he will take care of you and I promise you, it won't break the bank! =)

Why the Beachbody Business is Dominated by Females, and How the Guys Can Still Profit and Succeed

Female Dominated Beachbody Business, Succeeding with Beachbody as a Guy, Beachbody Coach Success, Too Many Females Beachbody, Can a Guy Succeed with a Beachbody Business, Arnel Banawa


I've been wanting to write about this topic for quite some time now, so coming back from Coach Summit in Indianapolis recently, I felt it was fitting to do so.

My take on COACH SUMMIT INDY 2019

I've been attending Coach Summit since I became a Beachbody Coach in 2011, I have only missed one CS event which was last year. If you do not know what Coach Summit is all about, it's pretty much the SUPER BOWL of all Beachbody Coach Events, it's a game-changing event jam packed with learning experiences, workshops, inspirational speakers, lavish parties, networking, and tons of workouts. Every person interested in having any kind of success, big or small attends this exclusive event.

Beachbody Super Workout - Downtown Indianapolis 2019
Female Dominated Beachbody Business, Succeeding with Beachbody as a Guy, Beachbody Coach Success, Too Many Females Beachbody, Can a Guy Succeed with a Beachbody Business, Arnel Banawa
Over 20,000 Beachbody Coaches Working Out - Indy 


So with that being said, I had a blast! But one thing that I wanted to point out is that, the girl to guy ratio has definitely changed drastically. When I began my coaching business in 2011-2012, I would say that there seemed to be an equal amount of males and females in the business, but since around 2015, I have noticed a drop in male participation. So my experience with the recent Coach Summit in Indianapolis Indiana was that I realized that this business has become a female dominated business. Is there anything wrong with this? (Read On)


Now I cannot give you and exact ratio during this event, but visually, it was apparent that it was an easy 50 females (or more) to one male. Now guys, don't get any ideas and start jumping into this opportunity and think that it would be a great place to find your soul mate, it doesn't work that way =)  These women are focused, driven, and thrive on entrepreneurial success, so the last thing they are thinking about is "hooking up", trust me, they will smell your wrong intentions miles away! =)

HOW DID THE FEMALE COACHES DOMINATE THIS BUSINESS?

I'm going to be honest with all of you, because for me, this is a no-brainer. It's called the "Domino Effect". You see, it only takes a few strong women with BIG GOALS to make this happen. For Example, my Coach is amazing! She has pretty much dominated this business since 2012 when she made a decision to be successful. The story was that.......She asked her partner if he could give her ONE YEAR to try to make it happen, and if it didn't work out for her, then she would quit and start bartending again (they were both bartenders) to help pay the bills, and mind you, they had a lot of bills! I'm sure you know what happened next. It took less than a year, and her business began to grow exponentially, and she has pretty much made the Top 10 Coach List every year since then.

You see, she had a goal and above average vision...and instead of just sitting on her ass and having her partner support the family, she busted her butt, retired him from his job, and now they are both sitting pretty living the simple family life with no financial worries.

Bonding Time with my Coach and her family
Female Dominated Beachbody Business, Succeeding with Beachbody as a Guy, Beachbody Coach Success, Too Many Females Beachbody, Can a Guy Succeed with a Beachbody Business, Arnel Banawa


Now I know what you're thinking....."I know guys that have done that", well I do too. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that in this case, the females were the ones who were more persistent. It was the females in this business who kept going when times got tough. It was the females who did not quit.

Of course I cannot speak for all the men in this business. All I can say is that I am still here, but will also admit that I am not 100% doing what it takes like a lot of the female coaches in this business. I'm sure the male coaches on my team will agree that we all love this business, we love the products, and we understand that this business model is friggin amazing, but there will always be someone else who loves it more than you do, and in this case, again.....it's the females who love it more than anything. Can and will this ever change? It's definitely possible!

SO HOW DID THEY DO IT?

You see, the females have it down to a science. While most of the men are at the gym looking at all of their muscles, and window shopping for their next date, the girls have already done the following:

-  Finished their workout at home
-  Prepared their post workout meal
-  Checked their messages and did some follow ups
-  And for the women with children, they have more than likely served them breakfast and already sending them off to school.

Do you see something that some of us guys are missing? These women are super productive and organized, at least the ones who are HUNGRY for success. While us guys are taking our time and doing one task at a time, the females are running laps around us and doing something called "multi-tasking".


There are a small percentage of guys in this industry who can pull off what the females do with multi-tasking, and have also been reaping the full benefits of this business along with their female counterparts. The men who understands, respects, supports their female counterparts and does not discriminate against women who have the DNA (determined natural ambition) will ultimately succeed in this business.

WHAT ARE THE GUYS DOING WRONG?

First things first, I am not an expert on this topic. I am merely sharing my thoughts on the matter. So if you disagree with me, you of course have a right to your opinion, and I will respect that. But to answer the question, "what are the guys doing wrong", this is what i have to say:

-  Ego, especially about the idea that home workouts are only for females, and real men only workout at the gym.
-  The thinking that men are more superior over women
-  The thinking that men cannot learn from women
-  The thinking that home workouts are easy, and don't work
-  Being uneducated in the networking industry, and being set on traditional business practices and ideas
-  Being intimidated by the success of not just females, but everyone around them
-  Not allowing yourself to become humble and accepting of your own faults
-  Not allowing yourself to learn something new. Something that used to work sometimes won't work all the time, so learning to be open and honest is something that all men have to work on

Again, I cannot speak for all men, only what I have seen in the 9 years I have been in this business. I also cannot say that it is only the men who deal with the above, I have also seen women with similar issues, but again, the women seem to deal with it, and learn from their mistakes much quicker and move on to becoming successful, while the men tend to never learn, make it more complicated, and just eventually quit.

HOW CAN MEN SUCCEED AS A BEACHBODY COACH TODAY?

If I had the exact answer to that question, then I would probably be a millionaire many times over. All I can say is that there are many successful men in this business, so it is possible. But if I was to give my opinion on the matter, this is what I would say:

-  Don't be afraid to learn from women
-  Do your research on the workouts and nutrition and give it your 100% commitment
-  Get away from the thinking that only men workout at gyms and do crossfit, that is far from the truth
-  Respect the fact that everyone can succeed in this business, it's not just a business for woman, it's for everyone
-  Be yourself, speak the truth, lift people up around you especially the woman who are killing it in this business. What you do says a lot about you and your future business
-  Just MAN UP

LAST WORDS

It doesn't matter if the business that you are in is a male dominated or female dominated business. It's about how you deal with it and make the best out of it. Rather then thinking about who is dominating, why not think about the next person you can genuinely help? Why not think about your success? Why not think about the future of your family?

The bottom line is that, Beachbody is a community of people who just want to live better, and be happier. It's always been that way! It's about transforming into a better human inside and out, and helping others along the way.


Yes, there are currently a lot more women then men in this business, but when's the last time a man ever complained about too many females? =) Give me a break LOL! Let's quit thinking and start doing! I look forward to your success my friends!
