Adidas Philippines held the first of a series of pop-up trainings last January 31. Guess who led the workout?
The squad of strong and beautiful women woke up early on a Sunday morning (some were there even before sunrise) to sweat it out with me at Track 30th in BGC.
Of course, I didn’t want the ladies to feel like I asked them to wake up just to workout when they could do that any time of the day, any day of the week. The whole team behind adidas wanted to put a bit of meaning behind the event so we began by talking about setting fitness goals.
I shared my opinion and a few hacks in writing their goals as well as how tackle them and pin them down.
I then asked the ladies to write down their own “bite-sized” fitness goals and had them stick these onto the I Got This boards we had up front.
Then it was time for NT SWEAT.
It was the first time I brought the party to a crowd with a live DJ in tow. The amazing Lucio Pua was on deck and setting the mood (and pace) of the workout.
I guess you can say we woke BGC up early that day as DJ Lucio spun EDM, Hip-hop R&B and some of the hottest Pop tracks for these ladies.
I’d have to say it was the most awesome crowd I had the pleasure of leading yet. These girls had so much energy, literally singing, laughing and shouting during the workout (which, by the way, got pretty intense for a while).
We ended with Energy Shots from Sprout—a toast to the year to come and to chasing the goals we set at the start of the day.
The Real Happy Cow was there to fuel us with delicious Hong Ma wraps and show everyone that vegan food doesn’t have to be tasteless and boring (as evidenced by the pork belly and turmeric rice wraps they served).
And just like any other NT Sweat Sesh, the team behind Vita Coco was there to make sure the buckets of sweat were replenished naturally (thanks, guys!!!)
The ladies got to go home with goodies including adidas gear and passes to the upcoming Bikini Fit Camp I am launching with a couple of other coaches (watch out for this, girls!)
If there’s one thing we proved that morning, it’s that tough workouts can’t break tough women.
UPDATE: We’ve uploaded DJ Lucio Pua’s mix during the Pop-up Training and is available for free download HERE.
