Why Getting a Trainer to Workout with You is the Ultimate Fitspiration

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The season of shorts and swimsuits is here, which is also the time you ask yourself if your body is even ready for the warm, beach season. We all have our own fitspiration dreams, but not all of us find it easy to make them come true. Maybe it’s time to get a pro to work with—and work out with—you. Everyone, personal trainers included, has fitness goals they want to achieve. Like the overweight clients on FYI’s Fit to Fat to Fit, working out with their personal trainer is doubly rewarding. Here’s why:

You’re more motivated. You can celebrate each other’s little improvements and inspire one another to keep on going especially when you feel like hanging up your towel. You won’t feel so alone on a seemingly long process, because there’s someone else sharing in the efforts with you.

You can spot each other. You can take turns counting each other’s sit-ups or watch out for each other’s forms, because no one wants to accidentally pull a muscle. It’s a lot more convenient to exercise alongside your coach because he or she can also show you how to use the different gym equipment properly.

You can track each other’s progress. You could tell each other which fitness goal you achieved for the week and help one another become accountable for your choices, like when you decide to spend an extra hour in bed instead of hitting the treadmill. You can even challenge each other to take your abilities to the next level so your progress won’t reach a plateau.

You can try new workouts together. Going with a partner can boost your confidence to try different workouts – maybe a dance class or yoga – which you might not have considered before. Exploring a variety of exercises is both a fun and effective way to motivate yourselves.

You gain a teammate and confidante. More than just a workout buddy, you’ll also have someone who understands your fitness struggles. You can be on each other’s side when it comes to forming good eating habits or sticking to your sessions.

Getting fit together is the ultimate form of encouragement in a fitness journey. FYI’s Fit to Fat to Fit takes motivation to the next level as personal trainers pack on the pounds, and throw away their fit lifestyles, only for them to shed the weight alongside their overweight clients. In the newest episodes of Season 2, the pairs are now on the last stretch of their weight loss journey, but with all the strain on their bodies, minds, and relationships, will the trainers get their fit bodies back? And will their clients finally lose the pounds and keep them off for good? Find out in Fit to Fat to Fit Season 2 every Saturday at 8PM.

Neocolours Release New Single Giliw, to Hold 30th Anniversary Concert at Music Museum

Wazzup Pilipinas!

One of the biggest names in the OPM scene, Neocolours, makes its long-awaited comeback with the release of the single "Giliw,” 19 years after their last recorded release. The brand-new song, written by Jimmy Antiporda, exemplifies the sound that they've been famous for -- well crafted musical performance that would bring an emotional impact to their long time listeners and a growing new generation of listeners. “Giliw” is now available digitally on iTunes, Apple Music, Deezer, Amazon and Spotify under Universal Records.

Neocolours' songs have been a mainstay of many Filipino listeners’ playlists. Their songs such as ‘Maybe,’ ‘Kasalanan Ko Ba,’ ‘Hold On,’ ‘Say You'll Never Go’ and ‘Tuloy Pa Rin’ have transcended generational barriers, and are repeatedly re-recorded by some of the country's top recording artists such as Erik Santos, Kyla, Noel Cabangon, and Nyoy Volante to name a few. On top of this, their hits have a combined listenership of close to 10 million streams on Spotify.

Aside from the completion of a new album in 2018, Neocolours' other music activities includes a 30th year anniversary show “Tuloy Pa Win…And Awit" at the Music Museum on April 28, as well as a national tour for the rest of the year.

Neocolours are composed of Ito Rapadas (Vocalist), Jimmy Antiporda (Keyboards), Jack Rufo (Lead Guitar), Paku Herrera (Bass Guitar) and Nino Regalado (Drums).

Is Cybercrime a Threat?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Data is the phenomenon of our time, it is the world’s new most valuable resource and currency. It provides the world’s biggest companies with a competitive advantage and is massively transforming the world. With the role data now plays, it has given cybercriminals the opportunity to become the single greatest threat to companies and even individuals.

Cybercrime causes massive damage to businesses and, by 2021, the annual costs of cybercrime are expected to reach $6 trillion! Cyber threats have evolved massively from being problems which could be avoided with anti-virus software, to something that is threatening people, cars, planes, power grids, and literally anything which has the internet at its core. These days, even a powerful anti-virus like BitDefender or Kaspersky Anti-Virus cannot fully guarantee that you are safe from a cyber attack, although it definitely helps; you need to be extra careful about how you share your information online.

When it comes to company size, cybercrime does not discriminate. Small businesses, mid-sized corporations, and even Fortune 500 companies have all been victims of cyber attacks. Because of this, companies and organizations need to become more resilient to cybercrime and increase their defences. There is no end in sight to this crime and it keeps on playing a larger and larger role in our modern and digitally connected world.

So long as there is a way for cybercriminals to profit from their acts, cybercrime will continue to exist and attacks will continue. They can steal personal information, send spam, hijack devices, target bank accounts, and even run email phishing scams. This is a global problem which is not going to go away, and no single organization can tackle it on its own.

This is particularly true when it comes to smaller businesses who do not employ full time staff to deal with the problems that this type of crime causes, nor can invest in high-tech cybersecurity solutions. Warren Buffet has even come out to say that no companies can fully prepare for a major wide scale attack from cybercriminals.

Cyberattacks are occurring constantly across the USA and the world. It is a problem on a global scale which costs people privacy, money, and security. The costs of these attacks are truly extraordinary and it is only going to get worse as we make further technological developments and rely more on the internet to function.

One of today’s biggest trends is that the cybercriminals’ motives are constantly changing. In the past, hackers would act in reaction to something, for example, in retaliation if a company or a public figure have done something wrong or morally incorrect.

Now, however, hackers are more interested in committing these acts for their own personal gain, rather than for the good of the wider community. Although there are different types of hackers (black hat and white hat), it is the bad ones which paint them all in a negative light and continue to plague the world with cybercrime.
