NOW retired football star James Younghusband and National University (NU) dribbler-charmer Christiana Dimaunahan credit their intensity in their workout routines even at home during the quarantine to aminoVITAL, one of Japan’s No. 1 supplement that is sold worldwide including in the US.
As a professional football player, it’s always vital for Younghusband to sufficiently raise the intensity of his workouts, not just because it burns more calories, but it also helps his body to develop and grow stronger.
Younghusband’s motivations for working out is the endorphin rush or the release of “feel-good hormones” in the brain that boosts his mood and make him feel positive especially amid these challenging times.
“During this time, there are a lot of unknowns and it is important to look after our minds. When working out you have to keep it fresh so you look forward to doing new exercises. It can be mentally tough staying in one place so exercising helps you forget that,” Younghusband said.
The same goes for Dimaunahan, one of NU’s stars on the court, as she intensifies her workout routine to keep in shape and in good condition especially because activities are limited during the quarantine.
With no access to a basketball court, Dimaunahan said that she is unable to do her regular training that includes dribbling and shooting routines. But to make up for her inability to perform such routines, she intensified her at-home exercise.
“I think about the people who believe in me and how much I want to prove myself worthy of their faith…It doesn’t matter where you get your motivation from, after all,” Dimaunahan said. “It matters that you always find one—any reason at all to get up and start. Nothing good ever happens to people who make excuses.”
