Celebrating Fitness in Adidas Women FitSquad Fit Fest
Last November 13, Adidas Philippines held it's first ever Adidas Women Fit Squad Fit Fest in the Globe Ampitheater, Bonifacio High Street in Bonifacio Global City.
It was an all-day, all in one fitness festival with a different array of workouts that you could sign up for. The activities were composed of Adidas Women FitSquad’s monthly workouts, celebrating female fitness and camaraderie, which started last January.
The next best thing to having an event that gathers women all over Metro Manila with a common goal is, having a FitSquad root for them, when they think they can no longer do that one last lift or one last push.
I was really excited to be part of the event, that I blocked off my schedule as soon as I got the invite.
I'm not really a morning person, but I woke up early on a Sunday for this, and brought my sister along with me (Hello to my instant activity partner!)
When I got to the venue, there were different stations where you can get healthy powers snacks (if you're too tired to walk away from the venue or too concerned to eat healthy in between workouts), water station, Gatorade and of course, my personal favorite, a station where you can get your hair braided, to keep them intact as you move around.
As early as 6am, a big group of women already started their day right preparing for an invigorating day of activities through a Morning Run with Adidas Boost Manila around BGC. Followed by Rocket Yoga with Life Yoga and a quick session of Power Breakfast preparation.
There were also a Squad Huddle about Power, Mobility and Speed, 3 intense Sessions of Boot Camp with Primal Ape Crossfit, amazing performances by PoleCats and EBC Capoeira that left us all in awe, followed by Combat Training with Ida Paras, then a quick talk and launch of the Adidas SS17 Collection with Isabelle Daza-Semblat and the Adidas Ambassadors.
This collection is to watch out for. The pairings are perfect for your workouts, and at the same time fashionable. You would hate not to put them in good use. :) Plus, I doubt if you won't be motivated to sweat out if you're in one of these.
Last but not the least, my first time to try and new favorite workout NT Sweat by of course, Nikki Torres herself. It's a good combination of toning and dance cardio workout, which is a great way to stay pumped up. Who can say no to good lively beats during a workout, right?
The exercises may look simple and easy, but don't let that deceive you, going for the 2nd rep, you can already feel your muscles shaking.
Before the day ended, Adidas also held a FitSquad Awarding, which is a flattering appreciation of Adidas to the efforts made by the Women FitSquad. Because being active is definitely a win.
Just what Isabelle Daza - Semblat said, "You can never hear anyone complain after working out, because it makes you feel good."
It was a really fun experience, and I can't help but look forward to what's to come most especially this coming year, I know everyone is too! All of this won't be possible without Adidas, our companion and motivation to fitness.
