KUNG HEI FAT CHOI EVERYONE!
It starts again today. Another NEW Year to RE-START Your Journey towards a NEW LIFE!
If you're still determined to change your body and your life -- to be Stronger, Fitter and Healthier -- then you need to realize a few things about you:
Ok, I'm not going to lie to you. The road to being fit and healthy isn't going to be easy. There's going to be a lot of sacrifices that you have to make. A lot of lifestyle changes.
Exercise, Sweat, Increased Heart Rate, DOMS (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness), Body Aches and Pains (every now and then), EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption) will become your new bff's.
You will hit a lot of road bumps, distractions, temptations and lot of obstacles that will make you lose focus and and stray off course.
Because the journey to being Fit and Healthy isn't easy, I created the Fit-Fil Movement Program to help Filipinos attain their fitness goals. From scientific and effective cutting edge programs, practical nutrition recommentdations to motivational tips to help you stay on track.
If the Biggest Loser Contestants were able to change their bodies and their lives, if the highly trained elite national athletes can still get better, then SO CAN YOU!
One of my all time favorite motivational quote:
--------------------
"To demonstrate this, a the launching of the Dare to be Fit ‘n Right campaign, a guy was asked to do the F.I.T. workout while wearing a calorie counter watch.
During the workout, the calorie counter registered almost 400 calories burned and the number of calories continued to increase to almost 800 calories ten to fifteen minutes after!
This is a breakthrough because usually, a person running on a treadmill for an hour only burns 200 calories!"

Your Journey Starts Today!
Below are the guideline on how to do the Revolutionary Meta-FIT Program Correctly.
I've also attached 2 Videos of Workout A. The first one is how to do Workout A Correctly for semi-fit / fit filipinos.The 2nd one is a Modified Version for those that are not in shape or just starting out.
The guidelines are still the same though even if you are doing the Modified Version.
1. It's designed to be done in 4 minutes sharp. After exactly 4 minutes, STOP (no extensions).
2. Since you will only be working out for 4 minutes (instead of the typical 1-1.5 hours), there will be no rest time (if possible) until after the 4 minutes (but pls rest if you really need to specially of you are still new at this).
3. Magic number is 10 reps only. Do 10 reps of each exercise and immediately switch to the next one.
4. After you have completed all the exercises, repeat everything from the start again without taking a break.
5. Your Goal is to do as many rounds as you can in within 4 minutes.
6. For first timers, it is normal to finish 1.5 to 2 rounds. After a few days, you should be trying to do 3 rounds. After 2 weeks, your goal should be to finish 4-5 rounds within 4 minutes. This is also your way of knowing that you are getting Fitter and Stronger.
7. Remember to always go at your own pace, however, to get maximal results, you need to always "challenge" or "push" yourself (only as far as you can go) when doing the workout.
8. What is "challenging" for one is not necessarily challenging for another. Listen to your body! For an active person, a full push up will be challenging for his body. For a newbie, a wall push up or a push on his/her knees will
equally be challenging already. So there is no need for you to try to do the exercises exactly the way it is shown. Both persons will get the same benefit from the workout as long as their bodies get "challenged."
9. It's ok to use assistance (holding on to a chair, table or the wall) when doing the workout as long as you are still getting the "challenge." Your goal is to eventually perform the exercises without assistance in the future.
10. The 2 best signs to know if you are doing the 4 Min FIT Workout correctly are:
a. You are panting and gasping for breath by the end of the second or third round
b. When you are still sweating even after you are done working out already (when I
do it, I'm still sweating even after I shower).
11. Don't worry about doing the exercises perfectly. Start slow and build yourself up. If you can't do a full squat or push up, then just go as far as you can but still do it fast. In the future, try to go lower or do better.
12. A lot of people can not do the exercises correctly, there are a lot of modifications for each exercise that can give you the same result. Just let me know which ones are difficult for you and I can give you the alternatives
13. KEY CONCEPTS: Do it FAST. Add INTENSITY (by pushing yourself to do as many rounds as you can); Be aware of the TIME; CHALLENGE yourself each time to BEAT your last record; ENJOY AFTER. Nobody usually enjoys while doing it, however, the feeling of satisfaction and pride comes in AFTER doing the workout.
LASTLY, Workout A is just the basic version of the 4 Min Metabolic FIT Workout. There are A LOT MORE 4 Min routines I've created (as your body will eventually get bored and plateau if you do the same exercises over and over). Try to master this one first and get the hang of it. I will sending new workouts later on..
YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.
YOU HOLD THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN NEW DESTINY.

One of my all time favorite motivational quote:
"Identify exactly what it is that you want. Then don't let anything stand in your way of getting it."
As my way of helping you "jump start" your fitness and weight loss program, I'm sharing with you the 4-Minute Metabolic FIT program that I created several years back for Alli and Del Monte Fit n Right that created A LOT OF BUZZ! in the Blogging and Fitness Community:
Because of the amazing weight loss success of participants who used it, the 4 Minute Metabolic FIT Program has been featured in countless magazines, newspapers, tv and radio shows. Below are just some of where it was featured:
Below are just a few of
the reactions of the bloggers who witnessed workout:

"At the workout demonstration, a relatively big guy around 180-200
pounds performed the exercises in 4 minutes. After which, the guy burned 96
calories based on his watch which could measure his heartbeat rate and calories
burned. Yes, only 96 calories and not the advertised 400.
For a while, it seemed like a failed demonstration. And unsurprisingly on my
part as I know that in 4 minutes, I could hardly run for a kilometer which
would only burn around 75 calories. You really could not burn much on just 4
minutes, right?
Wrong! After about an hour more, while the
guy sits on a stool doing absolutely nothing, HE WAS STILL SWEATING CONTINUOUSLY and now burned a
total of 311 calories.
Before his discussion on the FIT Workout even ended, the guy had
already burned 469 calories! AMAZING!
