"Great to be Well" on Global Wellness Day by Makati Shangri-la Manila

Manila, June 8, 2019 ーIt was a fulfilling day last June 8 with my two girls. It has been quite some time since the last time we bonded like this ㄧhealthy food, dance, exercise and had so much fun together! Makati Shangri-la Manila, supporting wellness, really did spread a blast of happiness and fulfillment for all of us on the "Great to be Well" Global Wellness Day. 

Shangri-la Hotels and Resorts around the globe invited guests, colleagues, and communities to say "Yes to Wellness" during the international celebration of holistic health and well-being. Such a wonderful get-together of everyone who are into wellness and the ones who are just starting that became one big family on that special day.

One of my favorite and inspiring couples, celebrity coaches Jim and Toni Saret of the Fit Filipino Movement and the Biggest Loser Philippines, together with Makati Shangri-la Manila, offered curated experiences for us like a Yoga Marathon. The 2- hour Dance Fitness Marathon with our kids was a total enjoyment for all ages. I really love dancing and I never felt tired during the challenge! Instructors were all great that even the Executive Chef and General manager of Makati Shangri-la joined.

Of course, it doesn't end there! There's the Circuit Challenge that was really a challenge for me, because I never had this training before and I just felt that I should try it. It looks easy, but once I started the challenge I felt calories burning fast. Every muscle of body are into hardcore workout. Whew! That was one of my best experiences and great achievements in fitness.

The 1-hour mash-up class is totally cool! Using drumsticks as an exercise tool will make you feel like a rock star! Everyone enjoyed this challenge 'cause it's something new to most of us and the beat of the drumsticks when hit together or hit on the floor with the music of course is definitely the best workout! 

Food served in the morning, lunch and afternoon are all healthy. Some are new to us, so I was so excited to try all that were served especially the freshly prepared juices. As for hydration during the challenges, it's unlimited water with lemon and cucumber. How's that for a healthy diet? Superb!

The Holistic Nutrition Learning with Coaches Jim and Toni was a complete package and very well explained.

• The Power of Holistic Nutrition to Heal Your Body.
• Learn How to Plant Based Juices; Lose Weight, Fight Cancer, and Heal Your Body from Within.
• Fresh picks and plant based juices.

The day won't be complete without the exciting raffle. There were lots of raffle prizes from several brands who showed support for this wellness advocacy ー Under Armour, Hydro Flask, Garmin, Anker, Eufy, Novuhair, Bewell-C, Dr. Kong Philippines, Johnson Fitness, Atsui and Pili Beauty.

Makati Shangri-la Manila's Great to be Well program is an exciting journey for all. Wellness retreats, inspirational talks, tennis tournaments, other fitness challenges and class will continue until September, in observation of World Wellness Weekend. Overall, our day course to wellness was a big success ー full of healthy information and inspiration.
