The aerobic dance at the Freedom park sponsored by former governor Tommy Joson is alive and thriving well.
Aerobic dance starts at 5:00 AM until 6:30 AM everyday. The group was divided into two; one group performing at the West end of the park and the second roup in the middle or the former Glorietta park. There are lead dancers who were assigned to perform and lead the participants namely; Lynn Balingit, Ana Marie Tolentino, Vicvic Villarosa, Edna Manalo, Mylene Bacani, Chit, LJ, Vangie. You can admire these people, they are not paid , they are just volunteers.
During the weekdays there are approximately 150 people or members participating and it is a great way to shed pounds and keep in shape. During the weekends, there are more than 200 people participating.
I used to run at the NEHS oval every morning but when I was invited to attend their aerobic dance, I have been doing the aerobic workout since instead of running.
The mayor of the city strongly supports the activity as Mayor Alvin Vergara regularly comes to the park in the morning.
In North America, it is almost impossible for people to start the day with aerobic activity such as this as people here are not accustomed to getting up early in the morning.
I hope the aerobic activity in Cabanatuan City, Philippines would serve as model for the peoples of the world. See photos.
