Nestea Camp Hot!

Summer is just a few weeks/days away and we can actually feel the summer heat in the climate. And what we will expect is a lot of outdoor activities like going to the beach, sports and anything that contain action to make the season exciting. Of course most of you would get soaked in the sun, sand and sea, and what we would always think if we are fit enough to wear bikinis or trunks. 

So being in shape would be some of the objectives we are doing in preparation by going to the gym, doing diets etc. Now Nestea fit introduces Camp Hot. This camp is not a military camp but it will leave you sweating and getting fit at the same time. The camp is composed of sections where you can learn about the basics of summer activities like Beach Volleyball, Touch Football, Yoga, Hip-hop, Basketball and ultimate Frisbee.

 

 

 You will not just enjoy learning inside the camp but will be assisted with girl and guys hotties who can also make the camp hotter. The venue is located at the Fort Bonifacio Open grounds and will run for 9 Saturdays with the official launch on February 20. With these features for a camp, who would say no to train here especially if you would get more sculpted and flexible for that beach body that you are dying to have. We also spotted Derek Ramsay and Karylle there also being ambassadors for the Nestea fit camp. So are you ready to get hot?
