Summer’s over but the excruciating heat never left, and now it has brought with it rain showers and gloomy weather.

Exhausted. Lethargic. Easily annoyed. These are but few of the things we experience with the kind of climate we have right now. Oftentimes, this leads to a decline in our interest in doing work, affecting our productivity and ultimately making us succumb to negative emotions.

But it’s not just the weather. More often than not, it all boils down to our level of wellness.

Your health and well-being plays a very significant role in helping you achieve your goals, and we at Primavera Residences understand how important it is to constantly be on optimum health.

Cagayan de Oro Rugby’s Noel Villa: Training Smarter with D.T.A. (Dynamic Training Approach)

Passion. Character. Strength.

These three words are what describe best the main man of rugby football in Cagayan de Oro. For Noel Villa, the one man who introduced the remarkable tackling and full-contact sport to Kagay-anons, it’s all about the courage and the determination to pursue his goals and share his advocacies.

Noel has been extensively trained in rugby football in the UK as early as 8 years old, and in this tough sport that combines the use of strength, speed and strategy, he found his calling. Inspired by how this game has taught him discipline and self-control, he moved back to the Philippines and pursue his dream to better the youth through the sport.

After a year of building the Cagayan de Oro Rugby Club from the ground up, Noel’s team now has 30 active rugby players, and it continues to grow with his ‘Get Into Rugby’ program for children, high school and college students – for both men and women alike. Through his leadership and training, the CDO Rugby Club or the CDO Rafters, took home the championship cup in the recent Philippine National Games Rugby 7s Shield Division.

While in the UK for 27 years, aside from playing his favorite sport, rugby, and representing his school and town in various rugby games, Noel also worked as a personal trainer and Body Conditioning Coach.

With his extensive background in sports, coaching, and fitness training, Noel also shares his expertise in DTA or Dynamic Training Approach, a specialized training approach that focuses on body sculpting, strength training, and sports conditioning. His years of working with some of the world’s top fitness professionals, athletes, and strength coaches make him your perfect partner in achieving your fitness goals.

Catch coach Noel Villa this coming July 26, 4:30PM as he talks about how to train smart with Dynamic Training Approach, and see how you too can achieve your ideal weight and fitness level.

Primavera Wellness Day, July 26, will also feature a wellness talk by Chef Ivy Trapero of the Culinary Institute of Cagayan de Oro at 3PM, a free wellness evaluation for all participants, and a yoga party finale with Ms. Julie Bonita Corrales of The YOGAHOME. All this is happening at the multi-purpose hall of Primavera Residences.

Living the Good Life the Healthy Way with Chef Ivy Trapero

They say the fad that never fades is health. Fashion trends come and go and even the concept of beauty changes over time. Whatever the color your skin is or what shape your eyes have, people notice your healthy glow even if the clothes you wear are two seasons past. Fashion and beauty products are only add-ons that enhance what is already there. Beauty comes from the inside – literally.

Filipinos have caught with this trend of living the good life through health and wellness. Cagayan de Oro, a city not to be left out, now sees a growing number of marathon runners, yoga centers, and more recently, nutrition clubs. One such nutrition club is being run by Chef Ivy Trapero, a Cagayan de Oro native who had trained in the culinary arts in Davao City.

Her experience in the food business reaches far back to when her family had a bakery when she was still 12 years old. She and her siblings would help in the baing and marketing of their goods. Later on, even as she majored in human resource development, her involvement in the industry did not stop as she worked in a fastfood chain during her undergraduate years.

After graduating from college, she further earned a Diploma in Special Education Teaching. Her engagements also show her propensity for wanting to share whatever knowledge she gains. She took short courses on  E-WORLD, ‘Enhancing Essential Skills – Teachers’ Seminar/Workshop,’ and ‘Teachers’ Effectiveness Training, and joined the Dep Ed-organized Seminar Workshop on Early Childhood Care Development.

Her training in education and her love for cooking have added fuel to her passion for teaching chef wannabes. Chef Ivy is an instructor at Northern Mindanao’s first culinary school, the Culinary Institute of Cagayan de Oro. She teaches Culinary Arts with Holistic Nutrition. Her enthusiasm about food and health also led her to create the nutrition club which aims at changing people’s lives through a healthy lifestyle.

To share more of this healthy way of life without foregoing the simple luxury of eating good food, she will be giving a talk at the Primavera Residences on the 26th of this month together with a free wellness evaluation for the guests.

Her nutrition club does not have a template for its members. Rather, nutrition and health practices are recommended depending on each person’s goal and each person’s circumstance. A recommended diet usually allows an individual to have two meals with meat and rice, and one meal substituted with a protein shake and herbal tea. Exercise should of course complement the diet.

Believing that a recipe is a simple guide to achieving a delicious dish, she is innovative in her ways of food preparation including short cuts in what could be tedious and long traditional kitchen practices. Ultimately, the goal she espouses is for the individual to not only be able to prepare something delicious, but to bring the individual to a state of accomplishment and happiness.
