Fact or Fiction: Can You Lose Weight Without Exercise (or Dieting)?
This is one of the most common questions I receive on my blog. “Hi Ms Kaycee! Is it possible to lose weight without exercise or diet?”. WHAT. Did someone just ask me if pigs can fly or if the Philippines can finally see progress within the next 3 years? I don’t think so. We can look at it this way. Weight loss = Calories In – Calories Out. Meaning you shed the pounds if the result is negative. I DON’T BELIEVE IN EXTREME CALORIE RESTRICTION for losing weight. Especially those 1,200 calorie diet fads ugh gross. Before we go through and answer the question by means of science and research. Here are a few posts…

I’ve been a long-time paying member of Fitness First. 3 years and counting actually. So among all of the gyms in Metro Manila why did I choose them? 3 C’s; Convenience, Cleanliness, and Comfort.

[FITNESS] Will Lifting Weights Make Me Look Like a Man?
Can you see even the slightest testosterone-filled muscles in my body? It’s still the same petite frame I was born with, except stronger and leaner. A common misconception with women, and the reason why they avoid lifting heavy weights is that you might be afraid of looking like a man. But the answer is NO. Lifting heavy weights such as barbells, or pulling your own body weight via dips or pull-ups won’t make you look like a man. Want to know why? Because women does not produce the amount of testosterone men does. And that’s actually one of the factors they get BIGGER and STRONGER. Us? Sure, we’d gain muscles, we’d have those…

Best Gym in Manila : Eclipse 24/7 Fitness Center
Long time no post again. No more promises, but I’ll keep this blog alive. Right now I’m in the US on a business trip and trying to maintain a healthy physique by going to the hotel gym at least 4x a day. But yeah, it’s way different compared to a gym where you have all the equipment you need and the assistance from highly capable trainers. You can get more details here.

Eclipse 24/7 : RKC Coach Mark Limbaga
Disclaimer: Photo was taken 2 months ago when I was working out at my old gym. 🙁 Don’t worry guys, I don’t have these anymore 🙂 When you are taught wrong, you’re most likely to make mistakes. I thought I knew kettlebells. I thought having bruises and blisters were normal, in my previous gym they told me it was normal to start out with wrong forms, and i’ll just get used to having bruises and blisters as they grow thicker. Then I told myself, I’ll never hold a kettlebell ever again. Talk about trauma. Was I glad to have found coach mark. From our first training session, he taught me, in each detail,…
