The Fitical Project

The Fitical Project, a Philippine-based project created by the Grade 9- St. Augustine students of the University of San Jose-Recoletos Basak Pardo, Cebu City, was developed solely to increase the years of one's life and to prevent and end any burdens that will be caused by diseases by creating activities, mostly physical, and programs to address the cardiovascular and respiratory health of the Josenian community.

Doing a physical activity with a group or with friends helps you affects personal motivation, according to the Psychologists at Stony Brook University in New York. It also increases the fun factor of the exercise you’re performing together with a friend, a family member or even people from fitness classes. 

In Amazing Race which is one of the activities we have created, the participants will be grouped here. This means that they don’t have to do the 5 courses or tasks alone because they have someone with them to accomplish each courses. This is good for the heart and for the respiratory system because while you’re doing the strenuous activities, there is still fun put into it because you’re in a group.

Our Amazing Race will be this July 23, 2017 at the Soccer Field of the University of San Jose-Recoletos Basak, Pardo campus from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

See you there!

When we run from one place to another, our heart is actively pumping blood. While each of the courses focuses on using the respiratory system like for example, the inflating of the balloon. When we are just sitting the whole day, our systems’ functions reduce so we need to be active to get them working.

Hence, the implementation of our last activity which is the Amazing Race which will be held at the Soccer Field of the University of San Jose-Recoletos Basak Campus this July 23, 2017 from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm. 

This activity will be open to all grade 9 and grade 10 students of USJ-R with 2-3 participants for each section. 

Your cooperation is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Our cardiovascular and respiratory system affects each other. As the heart needs oxygen to pump blood to all our body parts, the respiratory system provides or supplies this oxygen from the air and into our bloodstreams.

One of the ways to maintain the health of these two systems and to still keep them functioning is to exercise.

One exercise that we know can be beneficial to all is POP pilates. POP pilates usually uses upbeat music which means that your heart and pulse rate will increase which increases our lung capacities and strengthens our heart. 

There will be a POP pilates class this July 21, 2017 from 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the Open Gym in the University of San Jose-Recoletos Basak, Pardo campus.

We hope to see you there!

POP Pilates helps in bringing oxygen to their muscles. Hence, increasing their lung capacities. POP Pilates' movement fluidity helps in stretching our muscles—releasing the knots on our tight muscles that were blocking blood flow. It is also a way of releasing stress by giving off endorphin hormones or the “happy hormones” as they call it, and lowers our heart pressure.

There will be a POP Pilates this July 21, 2017 from 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm at the Open Gym of the University of San Jose-Recoletos Basak, Pardo Campus. 

This will be open to all Junior High School students. The first comers will be given free mats, and they are to wear an appropriate workout gear.

We hope to see you there!
