Since its introduction to me I was longing to try it once again. I said before that doing so is quite suited in my lifestyle. Crossfit will only take less than an hour or even minutes of continuous hardcore bodyweight exercises, perfect suited in my busy schedule.
But even though I thought of that before I still haven’t got a chance to do it. I Don’t know, maybe i’m just pre-occupied recently. As to what Gelli Victor said to me once, “time is not an excuse, it will never happen unless you put it on the priority list.” I realise that actually, but I was a bit hesitant even more because of my work.
A few weeks ago, I was invited over to attend an event hosted by ABBOTT Nutrition Philippines. It was a very active event combined with learnings and nutritional information as well. Along with a new campaign, ABBOTT’s Ensure launch its newest endorser, veteran actor, TV personality and businessman kuya Edu Manzano.
He may be in the late 50’s, Edu believes that people should gear themselves well into retirement by maintaining a healthy lifestyle even at an early stage.

Before the event, I was told to bring some workout clothes. I was thinking will be doing something simple but what we did was more than what I’ve expected.
The Ensure Stay Strong Grip Strength Challenge
Before the action starts, we were gathered to learn the latest news about Ensure. Abbott is introducing the Ensure Stay Strong Grip Strength Challenge – a free assessment on strength and muscle mass that aims to reach over 200,000 ageing adults nationwide. The activity aims to measure the individual’s grip strength and muscle mass levels with free hand grip strength and muscle mass tests. Dr. Jose Rodolfo Diamaano Jr., Medical Director at Abbott Nutrition Philippines, explains, “ The consequences of having nutrition gaps and decreased physical performance due to muscle mass loss in older adults can be debilitating. Being aware of your muscle mass levels and gaps in nutrition can prompt you to take charge of your health by maintaining a balanced diet and an active lifestyle. Resistance exercise along with a complete and balanced oral nutrition such as Ensure an help improve strength. Complete and balanced oral nutrition supplements are shown to improve hand grip strength within 8 weeks of intake.” The Ensure Stay Strong Grip Strength Challenge will have over 8,700 activation days at select drug stores and leading supermarkets nationwide.
Crossfit for Beginners at SPARTA
Right after the light meal, and the short seminar. We were told to head on at the open space where the activity is about to take place. I was thinking that this would be just be a short exercise routine but I did not know that 5 challenge stations were waiting for us at the ground.
I can consider myself a bit fit compare to other bloggers who were there at the event, thus I got an advantage. But this is not a competition to other people, but instead a fight for your own fitness capability.
We started off with a series of 3-one minute push ups, followed by planking, then a crawling exercise, kettle-bell walk then finally a battling rope exercise.
It was fun and tiring at the same time. I was lucky I finished everything strong even I had a short sleep. I just wish I could do this more frequently, I guess I should really allocate time and make Crossfit or even going to the gym a part of my lifestyle.
I found the perfect drink supplement that could keep me up as I grow older! Find out soon on my blog visit www.rodelflordeliz.com #ensurestaystrong A photo posted by Rodel Flordeliz (@rodelflordeliz) on
