ALL SORTS of challenges - from meaningful and helpful to naughty and absolute nonsense - flood social media nowadays.
The Alaska Milk Aces have a nice one to offer to health buffs via their Home Workout Challenge while staying at home and observing the enhanced community quarantine protocol imposed by the government during the health crisis.
The Aces conducted their homework March 30 to April 13 to keep their form and competitive fire, with the exercises shared to their fans via online.
One can review the exercises, follow and gain its health benefits.
Head Coach Jeff Cariaso started the challenge with cardio exercise on March 30. Kevin Racal followed with core exercise on April 1, then Abel Galliguez with cardio exercise on April 3.
"During the time of this coronavirus one of the things that coach Jeff challenged us players, and our whole team, was how we can have an edge in the league by maintaining our form and shape even though we are not going to practice each and every day," said Galliguez in a story posted on alaskaaces.com.ph.

are in our lockdown," Galliguez added.
"Madali lang ang workout natin. Kayang kaya nyo. Para sa immune system natin (ang exercise). Inom tayo ng vitamins para lumakas ang immune system natin. At saka lagi tayo maghuhugas ng kamay," said Racal.
Jeron Teng led exercises for lower body strength on April 6, Vic Manuel on cardio exercise on April 8, JC Marcelino on upper body strength on April 13 and assistant coach Danny Ildefonso on core exercise on April
15.
The exercises were in addition to the daily workout routine of each of the Alaska players.
