70% water, 100% life: The Nat Geo Earth Day Run 2013

Our bodies and the earth share one of the most important things that sustain life – water. With both composed of 70% water, humans and the earth share an interest in respectively strengthening our bodies and in being conserved, long enough for future generations to enjoy healthy bodies and a healthy world.

Water is a critical component in ensuring that our bodies are not only hydrated, but also that all essential nutrients are properly circulated throughout our system. As we grow older, we have less water in our bodies; the same thing happens when we become less fit and more fat. One of the easiest ways to stay healthy is to run – not only does it improve circulation, weight loss, and oxygen flow, it also lessens stress. Since running is a strenous activity, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated with the bottled water that empowers you to reach for it – Summit Natural Drinking Water.

If you survive the Monkey Bars, you’ll feel the thrill to the finish drawing closer at the Tunnel Crawl. Conquer your claustrophobia and try to get ahead of the game. The fun trail continues to the Wall Balance, where you’ll find yourself negotiating a perilous edge, towards the Log Hurdles. Simulating military boot camp, this obstacle should reveal how much time you’ve spent working on your legs at the gym, more than just biceps and chest. Your agility and flexibility are also put to the test. For the finale, the Net Crawl shall get you inching your way through, between an unwieldy net, and mud.

A woman blessed with stunning looks and enviable pedigree doesn’t usually wish she was a member of the third sex… but Divine Lee does… well she isn’t exactly a woman, not according to her gay friends.

Fight Somatopause in Immuvit’s Run Against Time

Jim Saret, Immuvit endorser

GOING through the somatopausal age (starting late 20s/early 30s) is inevitable, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t manage the physical and physiological changes it brings.

On September 26, 2010 (Sunday), learn how you could best fight the symptoms of somatopause through Immuvit’s Run Against Time at Greenhills Shopping Center (GSC).

Coach Jim enlists Coach Russel Esutaquio

 to show how a squat is properly done

Join us as we hold a fun 3 to 5-kilometer run at the country’s top bargain hunters’ mecca at 5:30 AM and share with you a special fitness program tailor-fit for those in the somatopausal age.The program is called META-FIT and is designed by one of the country’s most-sought after coaches, Jim Saret.

“META-FIT is a workout program that takes less than 5 minutes to do. It has been scientifically proven to trigger the release of somatotropin, a growth hormone whose decline is directly related to the physical and physiological changes brought upon by somatopause,” says Coach Jim, who also currently handles the country’s top three sports teams: the RP Smart Gilas Basketball Team, the RP Swimming Team, and the RP Boxing Team.

Somatotropin is commonly referred to as the human growth hormone and is produced in the human body and excreted into the blood by the somatotrope cells of the pituitary gland. Current research indicates that fast, short, and intense workouts help unleash these natural growth hormones.

“META-FIT is designed to help your own body produce its own natural growth hormones,” says Coach Jim.

Coach Jim tries his Metafit exercise on two volunteers

He adds, “Basically, somatopause is the weight gain and metabolism slowdown stage that typically happens when you hit 30 and above. It's going to happen, whether we like it or not.”

Immuvit’s first Run Against Time was held at Bonifacio Global City, wherein over a hundred participants joined the event. For Immuvit’s Run Against Time at the Greenhills Shopping Center, interested participants may send in their name, age and contact details to: immuvitrunagainsttime@gmail.com. The first 100 registrants will get a free Immuvit Run Against Time singlet.

Runners begin the fun run
