Taylor Swift's New Album "RED" set for nationwide release on November 5

Taylor Swift’s highly-anticipated fourth studio album will be released nationwide on November 5. Entitled RED, the album will be released under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) and will contain 16 tracks. After writing her last album (Speak Now) entirely by herself, for this record Taylor collaborated with several artists, producers, and songwriters she had always wanted to work with.“For the last two years, I've been working on an album called Red,” Taylor says. “I called it Red because of the tumultuous, crazy adventures in love and loss that it chronicles. In my mind, when you experience love that's fast paced and out of control and mixes infatuation, jealousy, frustration, miscommunication, and all of those lovely emotions… in retrospect, it all looks red.”

Fitness First’s new 30-minute Hardcore workout delivers quickest results yet

People looking to get in shape know very well that achieving their fitness goals takes a lot of time and hard work, especially since those known for their slim and trim bodies always credit their fabulously fit physiques to two things: strictly following healthy diets and consistently clocking in hours at the gym. In recent years, however, more studies have shown that intensity, not duration, determines the effectiveness of one’s exercise routine.

This November, one does not have to spend hours on workouts as Fitness First offers the latest program called “HardCore”, its first 30-minute class promising to deliver quick and effective results. The brand new extreme core program is a short high intensity workout meant to give leaner waistlines, more strength and flexibility, as well as improve overall performance.

HardCore targets all the supportive core muscles while keeping the spine in a stable position, therefore improving posture and balance, flattening the stomach, increasing performance in both everyday and athletic activities and decreasing risk of injuries.

With Fitness First’s HardCore, sacrificing hours from one’s hectic schedule to stay fit is no longer an issue. Those determined to lose weight, look good and feel better can squeeze this in during lunch time, afternoon breaks or any time of the day where they have half an hour to spare.

Providing more power and control in exercise sessions, HardCore is ideal for anyone seeking new challenges to enhance physical and mental well-being. Not just targeted for the truly active and highly energetic, fitness junkies of all levels can benefit from HardCore’s different progressions and options.

Try HardCore for yourself and kiss time-consuming weight loss plans goodbye! Sign up for HardCore now at any Fitness First branch near you.

Fitness First clubs are located in the following: ABS-CBN, SM Megamall, Fort Bonifacio, Platinum Alabang, Platinum RCBC, RSC-Makati and SM Mall of Asia.
