| Optical health |
| 2007-05-11 19:56:24 |
When health and fitness are discussed, it is often overlooked that eyesight is also part of the overall picture. As we take care of our muscles, so must we pay attention to the health of our eyes. Spending too many hours without rest in front of a computer monitor is harmful to our optical nerves, [...]...

Truth be told, I haven’t been back to the gym for about a month now. My M-W-F workout routine was disrupted by erratic schedules at work. Lately I’ve been with clients who seem to prefer unconventional hours…. I could change my gym schedule, I suppose, but there’s no telling when my work hours will “normalize”.

| Body mass index |
| 2007-05-03 17:27:49 |
I’m sure there’s much discussion and argument going on over the concept of BMI: body mass index. Basically, it’s a person’s ideal weight depending on his/her height. But what about age? Anyway, here’s an excerpt:
The body mass index (BMI) is a calculated number, used to compare and analyse the health effects of weight on human [...]...

Recently a fast-food outlet put up a sign outside their establishment for Sunday aerobics sessions. On the surface of it, the gimmick seems a worthy undertaking. It’s free and open to anybody who wants to join. But… fast food? Of course, I’m sure the ultimate objective is for this shop to sell their goods.

| My washboard abs… almost! |
| 2007-04-23 02:42:43 |
Everybody’s now saying that I’ve really lost weight. Remarkably so, some of my friends are saying. But when I checked my weight, it’s still above 67kg. I guess I just look fitter, is all. But then again, my size-29 jeans are starting to fit me again!
So what have I been doing? Let’s see…. For one, [...]...

| Impinged shoulder |
| 2007-04-17 15:51:08 |
I’ve mentioned in a previous post that my shoulders were injured during my judo days. Well, my left shoulder started acting up again, and so I haven’t been working out at the gym for 2 weeks now. In the first few days I couldn’t raise my left arm sideways. My friend, who’s a physical therapist, told me I have an impinged shoulder. (more…)

| Walking the city |
| 2007-04-14 09:43:24 |
Yesterday afternoon was uncharacteristically cool and windy, so I thought I’d stroll around the city for a change. First off, I walked from home (in Matina) and up Sandawa Road to the damaged Bankerohan Bridge. I wanted to take pictures of the bridge and write about it in my Davao blog. The weather was so agreeable that I decided to go walk some more; that was my very first time to cross a bridge on foot here in Davao.
From there I walked to my friend’s office on Magallanes St., had a spot of coffee, then proceeded to an internet café to post my blog article about the bridge. When I emerged from the café, it was lightly drizzling, but still I walked on. This time I thought I’d visit my friend’s studio, Corework Pilates, on Jacinto Extension. But he wasn’t around when I got there, so I walked on to Victoria Plaza, to one of my favorite coffee shops, Basti’s Brew.
Oh by the way, I still do weigh in at 69kg.

| Summer workout, here I come! |
| 2007-04-09 02:47:21 |
It’s summer! I wish I’d started working out a couple of months earlier, so I’d have had more time to get that chiseled physique for the beach. But who am I kidding? It’s going to take at least half a year to reach my 6-pack-abs goal for sure. Oh well, next year’s summer then…. (more…)

Recently, an acquaintance approached me after finding out that I’d gotten back to working out. We were together in another gym some years ago. He’s really bulked up now… well, that’s because he’s been working out continuously ever since, a regular gym buff. But, as I was to find out, there’s actually another reason for his impressive muscles. He came by to see me to show off his muscles, because he was trying to sell me something.
