Centro Escolar Integrated School - Manila Campus hosts a webinar titled “The World of Exercise: Holistic Approach to Fitness” focusing on the basic concepts on how to become physically fit on February 24, 2022.

Mr. Emmanuel Pacleb, the speaker for the webinar, delivers a mixture of discussions and physical activities to the viewers to help them understand the direct importance of exercise.

Mr. Pacleb starts the talk by enlightening the viewers that 93% of Filipino children are not active which ranks the country as the number 2 of the countries with the most number of children with insufficient physical activity. 

After these unsatisfying statistics shared by Mr. Pacleb, he also discussed the 3 types of muscles namely cardiac, smooth, and skeletal as well as the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercises.

Moments later, he encouraged the viewers to participate in a stretching activity which earned a smile from the kids and other students doing the activity. 

“Tanggalin sa mindset na mahirap ang exercise na it’s too much, worth it naman ang process (Get rid of the mindset that exercise is difficult and it’s too much the process is worth it),” Mr. Pacleb states while highlighting that exercise improves self-confidence, flexibility, and immune system.

He then gave another small discussion about the Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type (FITT) principle. “Sa online set up na ito importante yung gumalaw, kahit hugas lang ng pinggan…kahit sundan sundan lang ang mga nakikita sa Youtube, basta get your body going at some point (In this online set up, it is important to move, even if it’s just washing the dishes…even if you just follow what you see on Youtube, as long as you get your body going at some point),” he added.

The webinar comes to a conclusion as Mr. Pacleb answers the questions of the viewers about tips, fallacies, and other information regarding exercise.

“Exercise is a process…hindi mo talaga agad makikita yung results sa katawan mo pero over time sabi nga nila, makikita mo kung ano yung itinanim mo sa katawan mo (Exercise is a process…you can’t really see the results in your body right away but over time just like as they say, you will reap what you sow in your body).”
