| Coaches Jim and Toni Saret share importance of togetherness in achieving fitness goals |
Manila, Philippines – More and more Filipinos
are becoming conscious of their health and are working harder to get fit.
Healthy living is gaining importance today, and individuals are greatly
motivated to achieve the health and fitness goals they set for themselves. The
road to fitness may be tough and rough, but Coach Jim Saret, renowned founder
and training director of MILO R2-APEX (Athletic Performance Enhancement Cross
Training) Running School and his nutritionist wife Toni, share that one should
not have to be alone in his journey.
Workout
time is quality time
For Coaches Jim and Toni, not only do they get to
spend quality time together, they also help each other get stronger, fitter and
healthier during workout time. “As a couple, my wife and I spend our quality
time working out together. Instead of the usual dinner date, our workout dates
are more productive and beneficial for the both us,” says Coach Jim.
“The bond
fostered during physical workouts and dieting together is a lot stronger than
just having the typical dinner and movie date,” shares Coach Toni.
Sustaining a fitness program all year long can be
quite difficult. Along the way, individuals can suffer from workout fatigue and
burnout, and it is through workout partners or groups where one can draw
strength from.
Sometimes, work or other
important things in life force individuals to put their fitness programs on
hold, as they get too busy or pre-occupied with other matters. “This really
happens to everyone and we have to accept it as a fact of life so that we won’t
feel so bad when it happens to us. What's important is that every time it
happens, we should get back up on the horse and start getting back on track
again. It also always helps to know that we are not alone with our friends or
family cheering us on,” says Coach Jim. “Having Toni with me is awesome as we
can be honest with each other about what one needs to do and work on. Since we
care a lot about each other, we will definitely try to push each other to be
consistent and to work hard every time.”
Fostering
a sense of community
Both Coach Jim and Toni are passionate in sharing
their knowledge and guidance through the MILO R2-APEX Running School (MARS) Camps.
MARS is a program for adults composed of training workouts and sports science-based
running principles designed to help them achieve their exercise and fitness
goals in an environment where they are together with like-minded people, and
supervised by the most qualified coaches in the country.
“A lot of people
look at exercise as something difficult to do. They know it's going to be very
beneficial for them, but it is going to involve subjecting themselves to doing
something hard. Nothing makes doing difficult things easier than doing them
with others,” says Coach Jim. “MARS isn't just a program, it's a family of
like-minded people who share and work on their goals together. Sacrificing
other things to attend regularly, sweating, pushing, and motivating each other
to complete each workout everyday definitely builds a strong relationship among
the participants.
Coach Toni adds that by going through the MARS camp
with other people, one can usually get the strength to complete the camp from
their fellow participants. “Together, they can motivate, inspire and push each
other to persevere and not give up. When they are able to overcome the
difficult fitness challenges, they are able to get to know each other better
and thus be able to forge a bond,” says Coach Toni. “The more training days
they get to accomplish together, the more their bond gets stronger.”
The MILO R2-APEX Running School family celebrates
its 10th season
Now on its 10th season, MARS is presently the
biggest running camp in the country. The program also offers aqua training and
trekking as part of the course for students to experience diverse training
methods for enhanced performance in running and other sports. Under the
supervision of Coach Jim and Toni, MARS offers a full curriculum that can also
benefit different types of sports disciplines. Interested participants can look
forward to new challenges as they undergo their training. “Along with my
co-trainers, we are always trying to innovate. The most important thing is
there’s so much science that needs to be shared and that’s where we come in as
part of the MILO R2-APEX Running Team,” shared Coach Jim. “Together with MILO,
we aim to reinforce the value of leading a well-balanced lifestyle to all
participants. MILO R2, MILO’s 3-in-1 mix variant for adults, perfectly
complements our training program. Studies show that drinking milk-chocolate can
significantly aid runners in recovery and MILO R2 is a suitable post-workout
rehydration drink that replenishes exhausted muscles and helps bring up energy
levels faster.”
Coach Toni again
stresses the importance of starting and finishing together in the MARS
community. “We are very proud to say that participants in the MARS camps enroll
as individuals, but eventually graduate as a family. MARS has the biggest and
most number of groups that got forged after each season,” says Coach Toni.
“They are also all very participative in our endeavors. Just recently we
organized a Memorial Run for one of our fallen coaches. More than a hundred
MARSians from Quezon City, Bonifacio Global City, Alabang and Pasay attended
the tribute.”
For many years, MILO has been a life companion
on everyday fitness and health. Adults look in to the sport of running as the
fastest and most economical way to achieve physical well-being. The MILO R2
APEX (MARS) offers running programs for Filipino adults with world-class team
of sports science trainers, running coaches, and physical therapists. With
training programs offered twice a year in Bonifacio High Street, Quezon City
Memorial Circle, and SM Mall of Asia, participants are able to engage
themselves in conditioning workouts, running drills, and recovery and injury
rehabilitation to fulfill an active and a well-rounded lifestyle.
