Waterproofing Project

There are many factors which affect the life span of an establishment’s roofing, most common of which are heavy winds and rain. These weather conditions can break the roofing material which may eventually spread and damage the ceilings and walls, causing the structure to become unstable overtime.

That is why Valle Verde Country Club invested in waterproofing. Long years of operations proved to have an adverse effect to the wear and tear of the structure. Management realized that this project is imperative to prevent future damages and protect the entire building for prolonged life.

New Pool Shade Installation

Last February 27, 2018, the Club Management and in partnership with the Aqualasers group, undertook installation of the pool’s retractable sun shade.

Facility Improvements

Lobby ceiling repair and conversion of lighting to LED

The Club Management, with the full support of the Board of Directors, started repair and rehabilitation of facilities needing immediate attention. They believe that guest service alone will not suffice if our desired improvements of outdated and poorly-maintained facilities are not acted upon.  As of this writing, waterproofing works is ongoing to solve recurring leak problems and corrosion, and re-painting of eaves that used to be an eyesore for a lot of people.  These projects are meant to attract inactive members back to the Club, increase patronage, create more business, reduce cost and increase efficiency of the employees. With this, the Board of Directors continues to pursue initiatives that will make available the necessary funding for the Club’s improvement.

Eaves Repainting

Valle Verde Country Club recently undertook the eaves repainting project which aimed to give the Club’s exterior a fresher look, increasing its value both aesthetically and financially. When people see beautiful exteriors, their interests are tickled and they become curious, thinking, “hey, what’s going on inside?” People tend to check things out and eventually turn-out to be business for the Club. Also, apart from aesthetic and financial value, repainting the eaves help prolong the life of the exterior and protect it from weather damage. Today, the newly-painted eaves of the Club attract more people because somehow, the Club doesn’t look old anymore and can even match the fascia of the much newer establishments within the area.

Medical Clinic

The Valle Verde Country Club Medical Clinic is equipped and staffed with medical practitioners ready to provide urgent care and day to day medical needs of members.

Simple ways to add physical fitness to your daily routine

(BPT) – Being resourceful with your daily routine can deliver big payoffs when it comes to increasing your activity level.

Incorporating physical fitness into your everyday activities can save you time and also burn calories, and it doesn’t have to take much time or effort.

“For many people, the biggest obstacle to getting more exercise is time,” says Danielle Johnson, physical therapist and wellness physical therapist for the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program. “People feel stretched between their career, child care demands and family commitments. Thinking of spending an hour extra at the gym may feel overwhelming.”

If you don’t have time to fit in a scheduled workout, try using daily tasks to incorporate fitness, Johnson advises. “You’ll still be able to reap the benefits of exercise by using small bouts of movement throughout the day. Two 10-minute walks, a few sets of stairs and some five-minute intervals of bodyweight squats, lunges or push-ups can add up to big health benefits.”

Here are some tips to get moving throughout the day:

Turn chores into exercise.

* Mow the lawn or do some gardening. The physical benefit is good for your health, plus gardening can enhance your mood, and the food you grow offers great nutritional benefits.

* Try bicycling to run errands. Leave the car in the garage and bring out your bike for a quick run to the grocery store.

* Turn household cleaning into a mini-workout. “For example, mopping floors give your shoulders and back a workout, and can burn more than 100 calories in just 30 minutes,” Johnson says.

Find fitness opportunities with friends.

* Instead of going out for dinner or drinks with friends, do something physical, like taking a walk, going for a bike ride or engaging in a physical activity like tennis or bowling.

* Take your dog to the park, or play with them in your own backyard. A game of fetch is not only great exercise for your furry friend — it works your muscles, too.

* Join or start a sports team with your friends. Whether it’s softball, basketball or soccer, taking part in a sport you enjoy will improve both your physical and mental well-being.

Stay curious and improve upon what you’re already doing.

* Do you already walk daily? Try walking faster or choose a challenging route with hills.

* Take up a new summer outdoor sport, such as canoeing, paddleboarding or inline skating.

* If there’s a cause you feel passionate about, try training to participate in a run or walk to raise funds.

* If you play golf, walk the course and carry your own clubs instead of using a cart and caddy.

“Every little bit counts,” Johnson says. “Research suggests that as little as 10 minutes of cardiovascular activity can make a big difference in your health and fitness measures. I often equate health to putting away money for retirement. Putting away savings, even in small amounts, will add up big over time. The same can be said for your health. Investing in opportunities to be active, even for short periods of time, adds up. The key is to be consistent.”

Exercise and the Older Adults

About 10.3%-15% of the population in the Philippines is 50 years and older. As the country shifts gear towards an aging population by the year 2025, the Commission on Population (PopCom) said that Filipinos are living longer but they remain to be in poor health.   

The life span of the Filipino female is now longer at 72 years and 67 years for the male due to modern medicine and technology. However, their quality of life did not improve.

As we grow older, the quality of life starts diminishing. According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), one measure of the quality of life is an individuals’ ability to perform activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and eating and these regular routines may become difficult as one gets older. Progressive aging manifests itself with signs like reduction in bone and muscle mass, sensory changes, and less coordination.

And as we age, all the things we must do to stay healthy become even more important. We need to eat the right food. We should not smoke. We can only drink moderately and with precautions. We need to be active to stay active.   However, maintaining an active lifestyle becomes a challenge for most. Older people tend to frown on having to start a fitness regimen and would argue that they need to take it easy and slow down further as they age. The exact opposite is true. With regular exercise, an elderly will find oneself with more energy than never before as his/her health and fitness level increases.

BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:

  • Builds up muscle and bone mass
  • Increases strength and energy
  • Improves endurance and lessens fatigue and shortness of breath
  • Enhances flexibility, mobility, and balance
  • Reduces the effects of illnesses and chronic diseases
  • Regulates metabolism to better manage your weight
  • Improves sleep
  • Boosts mood and self-confidence
  • Relieves stress
  • Keeps brain activity that can prevent memory loss, cognitive decline, and dementia. It may slow down the progression of brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
