I Dare To Be Fit ‘n Right!
Growing up fat wasn’t easy for me. I had to encounter people who criticized the way I look during the days when I was very fat. There were even times my father had to control and argue with me even while I was in front of the table and eating my favorite meals. There were times my mom or grandmother would rescue me from his sermon but those just ended up with another argument.
Belonging to hypertension and diabetes-prone family, losing weight and staying fit is my best choice to live healthier and longer. But, losing much weight wasn’t that easy. When I was in secondary school, that was the time I realized that I had to stop my old habits and start losing weight to look and feel good, and to stop hearing words like “baboy”, “batchoy”, “taba”, among others. I decided to be more active and cut down some food on my diet. Also, I had to watch my calorie intake and stop drinking my favorite cola or juice drinks.

That great move was a success. From 3rd year high school up to college, my weight went down from 110 kilos to 70 kilos–a loss of almost 90lbs in few years. Then I decided to enroll in a fitness center for a year where I managed to maintain my weight and tone my body.
When I thought everything was okay, I became relaxed. I stopped going to the gym and started to cheat on my diet– started pigging out since I felt I was deprived from the food I want during the days I’m controlling my food intake. What’s worse, I had lesser time to do my routines the moment I started to have my first job. Now, I wake up early and go home too tired and late. And when I am at work, I had no choice but to sit in front of the computer all-day.

So, I ended up gaining more pounds. Now, I’m close to 200 lbs. Good thing, there is Fit ‘n Right the time I was thinking of trimming down. I did not have any hesitations at all signing up for Fit ‘n Right event for bloggers. I don’t even have any regrets for attending since I really learned a lot, especially from Coach Jim Saret’s lecture, advice, and his four-minute workout.

Yes, forget going to the gym and forget the excuses you have just to work out because you can be fit by just doing the Fast Intense Training (FIT) workout a.k.a. four-minute workout. It can actually make you lose more or less 400 calories by doing that particular workout, which makes you burn calories more than what you can burn when you jog for an hour or two. Imagine, if you can burn 200 calories for a 30 minutes to an hour run on the treadmill, you can burn double than that in four minutes and even after working out! What more if you add Fit ‘N Right on your diet?
THE F.I.T. Workout
For your guide, here’s an illustration of the four-minute workout:
1. Body weight lifting. Lift your body and make a balance through the help of your elbows and toes as shown below. You can do this in 10-16 seconds or depending how long you can do the workout.
2. Squats. Doing this exercise trains your thigh muscles, hips and even your buttocks. You can have one set of 8-16 reps, or depending on how long or how many you can do.
3. Lunges. This exercise helps you train your muscles on your legs and butt as well. You can do 8-16 reps per set, or do more depending on your long and how much you can do.
4. Push-ups. You can do 16 reps per set, or more than that if you can. Women can do the alternative push-up.
5. Crunches. Probably you can start with 10-16 crunches per set or do more if you can. You also need to do the side crunches.
Fit ‘n Right contains L-Carnitine that makes you burn fat 16.7% faster than the usual. It naturally occurs in the body so you don’t have to worry about taking this in. It has essential vitamins such as Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 that help boost metabolism, energy and endurance. It also contains vitamin C for better immunity and body defense.
With regular exercise and proper diet paired with Fit ‘n Right intake, staying fit and healthy will be easier. It also now comes in 1 liter bottles so staying fit and right is now much easier and affordable. And, if you feel like you’re craving for sweets, then Fit n’ Right fruit snacks will be your best resort.
Though I promise myself before that I will lose weight without taking anything at all, after hearing coach Jim’s lecture and knowing more about how Fit ‘n Right can help me out, I am giving it a shot. From now on, I am gonna drink Fit ‘N Right and incorporate it in my lifestyle, and as well do the four-minute work out. It will also be a great preparation for the upcoming fun run sponsored by Fit ‘n Right.

The best ang Fit n Right. Maximize fit n right with vitamin B complex. Without vit B complex you won’t be able to burn fats effectively.
@angelandriel, yeah, B vitamins increases your metabolism so the body can easily burn calories..
Yeah, it’s indeed time for you to get fit Ed.

Hi Ed , magcomment ka rin sa akin ha. Carl
Hmmm.. pwede kaya magsubmit ng CV sa office nila sa BHS?!
P.S. Palagay sa blogroll! LOL! =D
for the record, I don’t think you’re that fat. Pero yes, you did get “healthier” the last time I saw you. Haha For guys naman kasi I think it’s easier to control food intake. (feeling ko lang ah) (or dahil ako hinde ko kaya! haha)
I love fit’n'right: Pineapple and Four Seasons flavors.
Go go go Ed! You can do it! Pangtipid mode pa yung fit’n'right drinks. Haha
@Ria, yun nga. Sabi ko dapat hindi ako lalagpas ng 80 kilos. I’m too far from my ideal weight.
@Carla, Sure!
@Kristel, you found my secret blog! LOL. Sige, i’ll put you on my blog roll. About the CV, why not? Try, then sunod ako sayo. haha
@Grace, and yeah I gained a lot but I gained more when I was there in Singapore. LOL.
Though had the chance to see the Fit N Right work out. I’m sure taking Fit N Right either as a juice drink or a fruit snack will help you with your work out.
good luck na lang sa akin as i try to run run run. on 11/22.
Well I think you just need to tone here and there but you are not fat! Kaya natin yan with Fit ‘N Right and the 4 minute FIT workout!
@Mark, i’ll upload some pics here. You should try the 4-minute workout.
@JP, you’re running din? Tara, sali ka na din.. dare to be fit
@Earth, I just need to get back to 165 lbs and then tone and build some more muscles. Kaya natin to.

Talagang bagsak ang weight mo since tipidmode ka na eh hehe.
I wish I could join the Fun Run… kelangan na magcondition hehehe
so how many fit ‘n right can you drink in a day?
You’re tall kaya you can get away with the weight factor. I agree with Earth, you don’t look fat. Mukang madali naman gawing everyday ang FIT kaya carry. Aja! Kaya natin ito
@James, nambola ka pa. haha
@fpj_jr, im not sure with how often you should drink but it’s recommended that you drink it an hour before your workout.
@Jennie, yeah, my height does the tricks but the the weighing scale doesn’t. LOL. I just need to lose a little and i’ll be fine. Andiyan naman ang fit ‘n right kaya naman we can all do it!

That’s right! Healthier living means you need to eat right and workout at least 3 or 4 times a week. Regular exercising also improves your self-confidence. When you feel confident, no one can belittle you.
Thus, good luck with your goal. Stay fit and live the right way.

@Ohmski, pero totoo naman yan. Pwede palang line sa commercial to.. LOL
Cool! May animated .GIFs pa! At least you could say, from experience, that if what you’re doing isn’t providing you with the desired result, then you should change your approach. (to find one that works.)
Great share! I also come from a family of diabetics that’s why we have to be careful about our intake of food.
Nice seeing you there, yow!
Fit ‘n Right has Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 =) with Vitamin C as well (100% RDA per 330 ml bottle)
@Alvin, that’s what I like about it. I will not worry anymore in case I forgot to take my vitamins.

Wow, thanks for sharing the 4-minute workout! Looks easy, sana easy talagang gawin ‘no? LOL! No, seriously, I am going to bookmark this post and do this ASAP. BTW, good job on this post. The best among those I’ve read so far.

Hello Sir,
I hope you’ll also be serious with running. I always believe that finishing a road race is one of my best achievements in life because its giving me a boost in myself esteem making me to strive even more each more.
Goodluck also in the 4minute fit and right workout as this also I believe will help us burn more calories and increase our metabolism!
See you on the road!

ituloy ang sulong sa pagwowork out with fit ‘n right!!
Naks naman sa demos! Ako, step exercises ang ginagawa ko. Yung sit-ups ko mas pangpalakas ng diaphragm kaysa sa pampaliit ng muscles. Pero pwede na rin siguro. Exercise is exercise!
At, oo, panalo nga ang Fit ‘n Right
@Argonaut, I hope I can find time but I think I am getting serious about running. So far, losing some pounds are one of the best achievements I got.
