Aces lure fans to online workout

MANILA, Philippines — Underscoring the importance of staying active while on enhanced community quarantine, the Alaska Aces have launched a “home workout challenge” campaign for its supporters and online followers.

Aces coach Jeff Cariaso and some of his players will lead seven sessions in a live #HomeWorkoutChallenge on Alaska’s Facebook page every 2 p.m. from yesterday until April 13.

Cariaso, who had previously challenged team members to sweat it out using bodyweight exercises and other home gym equipment while the PBA is on hiatus, kicked things off with a cardio exercise gig Monday afternoon.

For the succeeding sessions, it will be Kevin Racal on April 1 (core exercise), Abel Galliguez April 3 (cardio), Jeron Teng April 6 (lower body), Vic Manuel April 8 (cardio), JC Marcelino April 10 (upper body), and assistant coach Danny Ildefonso April 13 (core).

“Hindi na po kailangan ng gamit sa mga workout na gagawin,” the team said while encouraging fans to join the online workouts.

Manuel has shared a full video of his routine, which included elastic band squats, plank, ladder drills, push-ups, sit-ups and V-ups.
