Shake Your Way To Fitness With Powerplate!

Hello everyone who is curious about Powerplate! I found this amazing fitness machine during my physical therapy in METAFACTOR WELLNESS. Since I could not run or lift weights because of my back injury, Powerplate saved the day. So, I thank Powerplate for my fast recovery also I did Hydro Threadmill or Underwater Threadmill. 

The idea behind the Powerplate machine is that exercises performed on the vibrating platform will be extra-effective. The vibrations activate reflexive contractions in the muscles and can ramp up your intensity quite effectively.

Would you believe that 10 minutes on the Powerplate is equal to 60 minutes of conventional training?

Powerplate might just be the best kept fitness secret in the present. Plus it is for people of all ages, conditions, and fitness levels because power plate exercises are low impact, which means they're easy on the joints but deceptively effective.

So are you ready to step up the plate? Try these simple stretches, back and lower body strengthening for accelerated muscle tone and calorie burn. Thank you PT Patrick and PT Charlotte for putting my recovery in the fast lane. :-D

Green or White? White

Sorry cause it took me days to post this outfit on my blog. I've been really busy with my other priorities. 

So, here yah go!

I wore an all-white ensemble to the DLSU vs NU Round 2 game. I wanted something different(not wearing a green colored shirt) that's comfy enough for a few hours outside but still put-together. Opted for a sleeveless oversized blazer from one of my favorite shops, THE URBAN HOUR and paired it with a white vintage shirt that my mom passed on to me. I completed this all-white ensemble with Comfort Plus wedges while subtle Forever 21 gold bangle and DCG FASHION necklace rounded things off. And, a touch of sparkle with SHOP GEORGINE sequined sling bag.

Congratulations Green Archers! They showed everyone how to play like a champion. Let the green spirit soar. Animo!

Sun Shower Kisses

Hello lovies! Happy Sunday! I hope you guys are all well. Just a quick hello because I have to run some errands and I have to go to church. So I leave you with this lovely OOTD: Ribbon tie front crop top + Fishtail  Skirt with sunflower burst from SKY CASTLE CO. I love how the fishtail skirt accentuates the curve of the hip and then flares from the knee down.

They say being fashionable isn't always comfortable but for me, comfort comes first. SKY CASTLE CO ankle strap pumps are made for all-day comfort. And last but not the least, accessories to finish off the outfit. Slipped on DCG FASHION necklace, GOLDS SMITH'S GRAND DAUGHTER arm candies, SHOP GEORGINE metallic bucket bag & BERSHKA round fedora hat.

How do you like fishtail skirt?

Show those curves instead of hiding them!

Lace Up

Let's just say, I have a thing for Nike Sky Hi Wedges. Wearing my new addition to my collection today. You wouldn't believe how I got this. I'll try to make this short. So, I was shopping with Michele and Lhexie at the mall while the boyfriends went around separately. I called Matt right after when we were done with our girl thing and then ta-da! Matt approached me holding a Nike paper bag and guess what's inside?

Effortlessly sporty and chic for my outfit for today, went for a casual look with my LACE UP REVOLUTION t-shirt on denim high waist shorts paired it with my Nike sky hi wedges metallic bronze and Rastaclat strap back. Accessorized my look with my triple Rastaclat bracelets & black handy shoulder bag from ASHBY BAGS.

Elevate your style while staying cozy all day. These babies surely give you the same height that you get when wearing a pair of heels. ;-P

TRX: Beat Gravity

I want to say thank you to my little sister, PAULA GOHING who really helped me a lot to make the "MG Perspire to Inspire" happen. You earned a Korean Buffet treat for this. ;-P

Finally, I've been wanting to start my #GohingToBeFit videos on my blog. It's a big relief knowing that I'm cleared from my Orthopedic doctor after months under therapy. Metafactor Wellness Center really helped me put my recovery in a fast lane. Thank you Meta Body for designing this workout!

So first thing first, what are TRX bands? These babies are developed by a former US Navy SEAL named Randy Hetrick. He and his fellow SEALS looked for ways on how to stay in peak physical condition with limited access to training implements and/or space for soldiers, athletes, trainers and clients-indooors and out. You can perform hundreds of functional strength and core conditioning exercises to built strength, balance, core stability and flexibility all with just a single portable training station.

For Today's Workout:

TRX

Body Weight Pull-ups

Mountain Climbers

Squats

(See video below)

Many people struggle with this simple but efficient exercise. While that might be true, it shouldn't put you off getting started. Some say body weight exercises are way better than exercises with weights because the movements are very natural and you're much less likely to injure yourself.

Get ready to hang and start building muscles today!

Taters Le Grand 20

Let my lines do the talking with my tailored floral peplum blazer. Taters Le Grand 20 calls for a perfect floral peplum blazer and pair it with neon high waist shorts. I've been a huge fan of Taters ever since. My movie date wouldn't be complete without my nachos cheese flavored popcorn and a large cup of Sprite with cherry syrup. The best thing I've experience from the Taterrific festival is diving into tons of popcorn. I posted a video on my Instagram account to prove how I enjoyed the "Popcorn Dive" booth.

I pulled out these two chic pieces from HIPSTOP shop at 3rd floor Shoppesville, Greenhills. I think floral has sprung up in my taste buds that day. I want something different and versatile that I can wear from day to night.

The key to wearing this print is not to overdo it - choose a floral print and keep the rest of your outfit simple. 

This outfit looks perfect worn with nude SHIQ Justine bag & PRIMADONNA bandage strap heels.

Accessorize this look with DCG FASHION arm candies

and FASHION SPICE MANILA Mise En Dior double pearl earrings.

Thanks to Christian Dior, I have a newfound love for pearls. These pearls may look very simple but these surely make a statement when you wear it.

Thank you Jionor Verona for these awesome shots!

So ladies, do you like to wear floral prints? Tell me about your style in the comments section below.

Take a Risk

I felt bold and adventurous so I dared myself wearing this statement piece, I LOVE NL CLOTHING long sleeves crop top with suspenders. With the Philippines' bipolar weather, I can always top this off with a vest if ever it gets cold or to not feel so bare. 

This tomboy-inspired piece looks killer paired with a high-waisted shorts from VINTAGE SHORTS PH.

Whether the crop top is bright or the shorts, make sure that there's a nice balance. You can even play with patterns as well!

My Zara Leather Boots surely elongated my petite frame. 

Don't forget the most important thing, accessorizing.

I chose to wear my FASHION SPICE MANILA  chunky chained necklace, LAROVE SHOP silver flash lenses, VELOCI cruiser watch, NINE WEST cross body bag & TERRANOVA fedora hat.

Keep your eye out for statement pieces while out in shopping, You can do so much with them plus you will stand out from the crowd. ;-P

Just one side not: "Take a Risk."
