When I had an elbow bone fracture in Q4 of 2025 due to slip and fall accident, it made me quite immobile. I could not do my usual swimming routine exercise and it made me feel sulky. In September last year up to January of 2026, I could only do moderate walk and started controlled weight lifting of kettle ball when my bone gradually healed in the last week of February.
Due to that long medical leave, I realized more the importance of health as top priority. Health is Wealth and it is good to start little by little until all exercises are becoming habits.
To make long walks interesting, I have tried this January three (3) outdoor places where I can freely walk with nice view:
1. UP Diliman Academic Oval (Weekends)
2. Ayala Avenue on Sunday (Free Car)
3. Nuvali Park, Sta Rosa
UP Diliman Academic Oval
I have seen frequently in social media that more people are flocking to UP Diliman every weekend for fitness run and long walks. If you go there on Saturdays, half of the oval is car free. If you visit on Sundays, entire oval is car free based on my reading in the news. UP Diliman is my alma matter and it brings nostalgia whenever I visir. After doing walks, you can eat mangoes, tusok tusok fishball, carioca and yellow corn. You may also visit D Mall (the previous shopping center) to eat lunch and buy UP merchandise.
