Thanks to celebrity fitness coaches Jim and Toni Saret of
"Biggest Loser Philippines Season 2" for leading Fit Filipino
Movement (FitFil) National Weight Loss Challenge because six months after its
launch in May 2017, nearly one million pounds (lbs) were axed. The entire
Philippines consisting of individuals, groups and organizations pledged to burn
fats and to lose weight to achieve an active lifestyle and to become physically
fit but more so to reduce and prevent heart related diseases. Both coaches were
ecstatic to share how the movement were able to meet its core objective within
six months. "It was a combined effort from everyone. But the mission has
just started. We hope to see at least one million Filipinos more fit in three
years," shared by Coach Jim.

with a simple commitment and that includes taking ownership of your health."
