Fitness first every Saturday

Posted on March 9, 2009, 12:34 PM under Street Stories

Whenever I pass by the Ever Gotesco mall in Ortigas every Saturday morning, I notice a group of women doing some exercise in tune of the latest pop music. Same thing in Rosario in Pasig City – women wearing jogging pants and rubber shoes, performing dance like exercises, running, stretching their legs and arms and other aerobic exercises.

It’s good to know then that a group of women, led by Councilor Jovita Cawicaan, do the same thing every Saturday morning in the front of the new municipal hall. With help of some friends who act as instructors, women, and some men too – whom I assume are in their 40s, get some physical workout for free. Cawicaan said that in the average, they have about 25 participants.

Nothing feels like the cold air soothing your sweaty arms, with the sun starting to rise as the background. Take a look at these photos:

So for those who may want to join them, just go to the municipal hall every Saturday at 5:45 in the morning.

    Gandang halimbawa iyan para sa mga kababayan na magkaroon ng konting activities maski na once or twice a week.
    Siguro mas maganda kung mas malawak ang lugar para madami ang makasali.
