In life, there are challenges you will face. And oh how satisfying it always is as your body surprises you with an almost supernatural ability to face such\u00a0great tests head-on.<\/p>\n

Going to a fitness center is actually what we’re talking about\u2014particularly\u00a0Plana Forma<\/strong> located on the 17th floor of Frabelle Building in Legazpi Village.<\/p>\n

For Newbies: The Forma Core<\/h3>\n

Plana Forma\u00a0may be many things, but it is surely not for the faint-hearted. It is not your typical fitness gym, where you just sweat (although there is definitely\u00a0that<\/em>), and stay on for long hours. For one, Plana Forma uses the\u00a0barre technique<\/strong>\u00a0in their workout classes, combining the use of a ballet barre with core training, yoga, and even elements of dance!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They offer it in many flavors, differing in intensities. Beginners may opt for\u00a0the newbie-friendly (but still a killer),\u00a0Forma Core,<\/strong>\u00a0which uses\u00a0a combo of the ballet barre, ball,\u00a0mat, and a pair of dumbbells. There’s nothing to worry about as your friendly instructor\u2014who may or may not take pleasure in your suffering\u2014will train you on how to use them, sometimes all at once!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is no stopping a student on Forma Core\u2013literally. Aside from short\u00a0water breaks in between the workout,\u00a0students will experience\u00a0a roller coaster of low and high intensities\u00a0that usually culminate in a relieving exhale at the end of the class. The combination, contrary to what some may believe, will actually leave you energized rather than tired.<\/p>\n

The next day is a different story altogether. Expect your thighs to burn at with every step that you take!<\/p>\n

Pulse Higher!<\/h3>\n

For athletes and men and women who want to take it a notch higher, students may enroll\u00a0in the\u00a0Forma Core +<\/strong>. There is also the\u00a0Forma M.I.X.E.D\u2014<\/strong>a more powerful workout\u00a0comprised of a lot of core and upper body drills.<\/p>\n

If you have a penchant for a faster-paced workout, then enroll\u00a0in their\u00a0Forma Strength<\/strong>\u00a0classes\u00a0or their high-intensity\u00a0Forma Endurance<\/strong>, said to be beneficial for students with\u00a0joint problems.<\/p>\n

Yogis will also be pleased to know that Plana Forma also offers an Asana class called the\u00a0Forma Flow<\/strong>, ideal for those who want to regain their balance and relieve stress after work.<\/p>\n

What’s interesting is that\u00a0each workout usually takes a total of\u00a055 minutes<\/strong>,\u00a0to be completed with no easy feat as sweat and pain blend with every pulse and stretch of the body.<\/p>\n
