Starting small: Light walks

Walking is the simplest form of being active. On a daily basis, opt to go out for a walk in the local park or around your neighborhood for at least 30 minutes. If you find walking to be too dull, pick up the pace by making it a brisk walk. By doing this activity daily, you can improve your cardiovascular health, give yourself a mood boost, and strengthen your muscles without putting too much strain on them.

Stretch things out with yoga

Tired after a long day? A full-body yoga workout is a relatively simple method of keeping active without tiring yourself too much. Let your body go the full stretch and feel the relief on any sore muscles as you take things smoothly. Learn deep breathing techniques to let the yoga session feel like a meditation routine that can help relieve stress.

Kick it up a notch with strength training

Are you ready to take it to the next level? Test your strength and endurance by learning how to lift weights. Strength training with weights helps build lean muscle mass, boosts metabolism, and increases overall strength. Mix things up by incorporating squats, deadlifts, and bench presses in various orders.

Master your form with an ultra routine

Choosing the right workout depends on your goals, energy levels, and fitness experience. At the heart of BGC, you’ll find Ultra Lagree’s latest studio inside Mitsukoshi BGC. Conceptualized by Sebastian Lagree, it is a thoroughly studied mix of time under tension workout without missing the components of bodybuilding techniques. Each 45-minute class is always complete with cardio, weight, and strength training performed on the revolutionary Megaformer machine. Every movement jives with the beats, keeping your adrenaline up, motivating you to build up your body, while simply enjoying the workout. 

 

At the core of the Lagree Fitness workout is the Megaformer machine. First unveiled at Ultra Lagree BGC, the fitness equipment is built to meet diverse workout demands, regardless of fitness levels, ages, and body types. It combines resistance training and cardio into one seamless and efficient workout. As every single muscle stretches and contracts, the machine keeps you balanced and true to the optimal form. The best part? Every session can burn up to 800 calories, sculpting a stronger, tighter, and more toned body in just 45 minutes!

The idea of bringing Lagree to the Philippines began with couple Harold and Ela Lee after experiencing their first class in Los Angeles in 2018. Talking about their continued success, proprietor Harold Lee shared his sentiments saying, “We knew it wasn’t going to be simple to grow a Lagree community since it is a specialized workout that was quite hard for some to understand, but we succeeded in offering high quality classes, urging people to give it a try, and maintaining a welcoming atmosphere to give all our clients a personalized service.” 

Ultra Lagree is located at Mitsukoshi in BGC and Estancia Mall in Pasig.
