What factors lead to the slowing down of metabolism?
The two major factors that lead to slow metabolism are the increase in body fat and the decrease of muscle. The increase of body fat happens when we consume large amounts of calorie-dense food without any accompanying workout plans. The loss of muscle eventually happens when one stops resistance training.
Is it possible to “target” certain areas of the body where I want to lose the bulge? This is one of the biggest myths of the fitness world: spot reduction. It is not possible to spot-reduce areas which are troublesome. Instead, a holistic approach should be taken to weight loss which means working on your entire body.
I do my workouts and I eat healthy, so why isn’t the weight coming off?
One must check if the workout and the quality of supposed healthy food are in fact adequate. Having a proper plan for both your training regimen and your food intake will help determine the correct path to your weight loss goal. What is “healthy” for most might not be truly healthy in reality.
How soon after a meal can I exercise? A general rule is called gastric emptying, meaning if your tummy is full while exercising, then you will experience discomfort. For a small meal that’s low in fat, wait for about two to two and a half hours before exercising.
My job requires me to sit in front of a computer for 6 to 8 hours straight. Does this contribute to having a big stomach? Working behind a desk or a computer for six to eight hours does not contribute to one having a big stomach. What you do in the hours before and after work is what will affect the state of your midsection. Exercise and a proper diet are the factors that will determine your overall appearance.

HOW ONE MAN WHO DIDN’T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT TRIATHLON BECAME THE SECOND FASTEST FILIPINO AGE GROUPER IN FOUR YEARS By Don Velasco
wimming, cycling, and running: these three sports are difficult on their own so combining them into a single event spawns an entirely different kind of challenge. In 1974, a group of fitness buffs from Southern California tried to break the monotony of their routine by taking part in an informal race. It consisted of an open water swim, a bike race, and a run—and the sport of triathlon was born. By 1978, athletes were already pushing the limits of their bodies. In Hawaii, a group of hardcore endurance athletes combined three grueling endurance events: the Waikiki Rough Water Swim (2.4 miles or 3.8 km), the Oahu Bike Race (112 miles or 180 km), and the Honolulu Marathon (26.2 miles or 42 km). Later on, they called it the Ironman Triathlon. While the sport has solid roots in countries like the USA, Australia, and Germany, it is only recently that triathlon competitions gained popularity in The Philippines. Long standing races like the Subic Bay International Triathlon (SuBIT) and White Rock Triathlon (WRT) have been around for more than a decade, but the sudden boom in Tri came forth with the Ironman 70.3 Philippines. This event started in 2009 and its distance is half the Ironman distance. Hence, the term Half-Ironman or 70.3 which refers to the total number of miles traveled. Originally held in Camarines Sur, it started out with less than 500 athletes. On its fifth year this 2013, the number of participants has reached 1,750. A testament to its popularity is the fact that registration closed in a few days. While taking part in such an event is an endeavor in itself, the most challenging part of it is the months of preparation leading up to it. Aside from physical prowess, it takes focus, determination, and efficient timemanagement to train for such an event. When I first signed up for this event, I barely knew how to swim, I didn’t know how to ride a bike, and I was a mediocre runner. Upon seeing the videos and photographs of the race back in 2009, I was inspired by the challenge it presented. I immediately
MASTER OF TIME We often hear of star athletes being home-schooled; the reason being that they would not be as great as they were if they were enrolled in a regular school bound by schedules and activities. Usually, home-schooled swimmers get to train three times a day every day to stay in top shape. Those who can stay on top of their game while excelling in regular school are supposedly geniuses gifted upon birth. That is hardly the truth. Any average student can stay in regular school and be a star swimmer; all he needs is proper time management. It’s not that difficult to manage one’s time. All it takes is a little extra effort and discipline to get you on the right track. This means making the most out of your time to get closer to achieving your dream goal times. You might think, oh that’s easier said than done, well, we investigated and here’s a sample schedule that you can follow of a regular
hired a swim coach, bought an entry level road bike, and dusted off my old pair of running shoes. While my form obviously wasn’t perfect, within a few weeks I could already swim laps in Ultra. A few months later, I had learned how ride a bike. While the challenging part is balancing itself, switching gears, using clipless pedals, and bike handling were the most difficult obstacles I needed to overcome. My sheer will to succeed motivated me. I wanted to rise to the challenge. Later on, once the skills needed were cemented, I became more aggressive with training. I needed to put in the miles to finish comfortably. I tried to swim at least 2 km in training, bike for 2 to 3 hours or close to 100 km during the weekends, and run a half-marathon at a comfortable pace. This would give me the confidence that my body was physically ready for the load on race day. Aside from this, the race also has a psychological aspect to it. “Death before DNF (Did not Finish),” this is one of my favorite phrases whenever I’m faced with the thought of quitting. One needs to visualize and entertain the thought of accomplishing and conquering the race. In doing so, the body is primed to rise to the occasion. As I’m in my fourth season now in triathlon, the hours I’ve laid down the past few years have been my foundation to perform at a higher level during races. My love for the sport has taken me far as I’ve participated in countless short distance triathlons, 7 half-Ironmans, and 3 full Ironmans. At the Ironman 70.3 in Cebu last August 4, 2013, I had my fastest half-Ironman to date. From a person with zero fitness in 2009, I became the second fastest Filipino age grouper with a finish time of 4 hours and 46 minutes. All this was possible because I wasn’t scared to try it out.

HOW MANAGING YOUR TIME CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS IN THE POOL BY JANINA TAN
school day in a Chinese school that starts at 7:30 am and ends at 4:30 pm. 5 to 7:00 am: Morning training 7 to 7:30 am: Travel to school 7:30 am to 12 pm: Morning session 12 to 12:45 pm: Lunch break and homework/review for class 12:45 to 4:30 pm: Afternoon Session 4:30 to 5 pm: Break (homework and pm snack) 5 to 7:30 pm: Afternoon training 7:30 to 8 pm: Travel to home 8 to 9 pm: Dinner and homework/review for class 9 pm: Sleep It is highly recommended that athletes get eight hours of sleep to allow the body to fully recover from the day’s activities. That’s why your time of sleep should be 9pm for
a 5am morning training schedule. This sample schedule may still be arranged for different class schedules. If you noticed, however, the breaks in between classes are maximized for review and homework so that the workload could be lessened as soon as you get home. It’s best to limit the amount of time spent on social media to at most 30 minutes a day on a regular school day. Weekends could be spent on other extracurricular activities. The bottom line is that you should have a clear idea of what your goals are. If your goal is to set the Philippine record in 10m Butterfly, then you know that’s not achievable if you skip training or you’re not serious during training. List down your daily tasks and priorities, and ask yourself how you can be more efficient in finishing the tasks that lie ahead.

HIGH PERFORMANCE SWIMMING
THE LOWER BODY WORKOUT T THREE ROUTINES TO STRENGTHEN YOUR HIPS, THIGHS, LEGS, AND FEET by coach chappy callanta
hough the lower section of your body is an important one, it is often overlooked when it comes to exercise programs, especially do-it-yourself ones. It’s just human nature really. Mainstream media usually focus on the beauty of the torso while totally disregarding the lower part of the body. However, if it’s overall strength and health that you’re after, then it is very important to give your lower body a workout. In the interest of clarity, let’s define what the lower body comprises of. Everything from the waist down is part of the lower body. This means the hips, thighs, legs, and feet. You will notice that there is an intersection between the core and the lower body—the hips. This means
that some core exercises can be classified as lower body exercises as well (think squats, dead lifts, and swings). This is important when it comes to programming so that we won’t overwork the muscles too much, and avoid injuries. When training the lower body, keep symmetry in mind. No one is perfectly symmetrical but the idea is to strive for it. Don’t forget the muscles at the back of your legs, which are called “flexors,” as opposed to the ones out front, which are called “extensors.” If you work the quads, then it makes sense to also work the glutes, hamstrings, and calves so that there is symmetry in movement and balance in the muscles working on your hips, knees, and ankles.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE BEST LOWER BODY EXERCISES: VAL SLIDE LATERAL LUNGE: The Val Slide is fast becoming my
favorite piece of equipment because of its versatility and effectiveness. For this exercise, find a slick surface like smooth wood. Place one foot on top of the Val Slide and hold a medicine ball. Slide the foot out to the side while keeping both feet pointing forward and the anchor leg straight and aligned with the hips, knees, and ankles. Slide it back quickly and repeat the motion. Do both legs.

ONE-LEGGED RDL: I can’t stress the

ONE-LEGGED SQUAT: Sticking with
the theme, the one-legged squat is often overlooked because it’s just tough. The benefits though are great, so do it! You can start with no weight at all. Balance on one leg and stick your butt out while reaching your arms forward for balance. Squat down as low as you can and stand up. Gradually increase the range of motion as you get stronger.

importance of doing unilateral work, one leg at a time, enough. It just makes sense since most of our movements are done with one leg at a time. Even in the different swim strokes, we need to work unilaterally to maintain leg strength balance. Grab dumb bells or a medicine ball and hold it by your thighs. Slightly bend the right knee and lift the left foot off the floor. Reach down with the dumb bells, and reach far back with your left heel creating a “T” in the process. Do both legs.

ALL IN THE Swimmers Priscilla Aquino and Aldo Batungbacal share the same qualities that make them winners! BY JING LEJANO | PHOTOS BY KAI HUANG
L
iving in the same roof, brothers and sisters are exposed to the same attitudes and experiences. It’s not surprising then when siblings develop the same interests and pursue the same goals. Such was the case with Priscilla Aquino and Aldo Batungbacal. Growing up, 16-year-old Priscilla saw how her sisters Elly and Toni took to the sport with passion. But while she was inspired by their prowess in the water, Priscilla found herself scared and afraid on her first day of swimming school. She was seven years old at the time. Fortunately, her father came to her rescue, assuring her that there is nothing for her to fear in the water. In time, the young lady was able to learn and master her strokes. As she got better and better, she was able to enjoy the sport all the more. Aldo Batungbacal, a senior at Ateneo High School, also found himself following the footsteps of an elder sibling, his brother Robie. Aldo learned to swim as a toddler, and has never stopped swimming since then. By the time he was five, he was already training on a regular basis. Joining competitions was the next step, and one of his earliest and fondest memories of swimming is bringing home five gold medals at a competition when he was about eight years old. Priscilla made a big splash the first time she joined a tournament as well; she snagged four gold medals at the Milo Little Olympics nine to ten years age group, and found the experience of winning extremely exhilarating. She vowed to train even harder in order to make herself better. Qualifying for the 100m Freestyle Event at Palarong Pambansa in 2008, Priscilla got even more motivated. Making the cut meant she could really excel in the sport of her passion.

When Aldo made it to the 2009 Palarong Pambansa in Tacloban, he brought home an impressive harvest of medals: two gold medals for the 50m Breast and 4 x 50m Free Relay; two silver medals for the 100m Breast and 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay, and two bronze medals for the 400m Free and 200m IM. Needless to say that this got Aldo really motivated. When he was younger, he observed that the rate of his progress wasn’t as fast as he wanted. On the summer of his sophomore year in high school, however, when he really started focusing on his goals, he saw marked improvement. Focus is what he’ll need as his personal goal at the 76th season of the UAAP competitions is to break at least five records: 50m Breast, 100m Breast, 200m Breast, 200m IM, and 400m IM. It helps that his parents support him all the way, and that he has a good team backing his athletic pursuit including Coach Cyrus Alcantara, Coach Chappy Callanta, and Sports Nutrition Expert Harvie de Baron. When he momentarily loses sight of his goal, he keeps one important advice in mind: Nothing will until you do! Aldo knows the importance of hard work and patience. When he joined the SEA Age Group Swimming Championships in Brunei for the first time, he realized that the amount and level of training that he is currently undergoing is small fry compared to swimmers from other nations. And that’s why he needs to push, push, push!! Priscilla also knows the importance of working hard for one’s goals. Counting four-time Olympic medalist Missy Franklin, the world record holder in the 200-meter backstroke, and Olympic gold medalist Kate Ledecky, the world record holer in the 800- and 1500-meter freestyle, as her personal heroes, Priscilla would always read up on these two exceptional athletes. A common denominator that she noticed between the two is how they realized that working hard is well worth it. And that’s why it doesn’t bother her one bit if her training schedule is rigorous. Every day, this third year student at UPIS has a training schedule before and after school. That’s because she is singleminded in her goal is to beat her best time. For the UAAP, she aims to beat records as well where she’ll be participating in several events: 400m Freestyle, 800m Freestyle, 200m IM, 100m Breast, and 200m Breast. Her immediate goal is snag a sports scholarship at the University of the Philippines. Her ultimate goal is to become an Olympian. And for that, she follows the advice of the people closest to her including her coach and her father. She always works hard every day. She follows her training schedule religiously. And she is always striving to be her best, and do her best. That’s another thing she shares in common with Aldo.
