The "Train Your Mind" workshop, organized by ILUS Fitness, a national brand of training and gym products and equipment, will for the first time not feature workout routines for muscle gain. Instead, it will focus on exercises and knowledge for mental strength, seeking to engage and empower 40 mothers in the context of Mother's Day, next Saturday, May 6, at the Motion Center.
Felipe Gómez, CEO of ILUS Fitness, explains that "our community is growing, but we've never lost our closeness, and we don't want to lose it! That's why we've been motivated by this activity to continue positively impacting our clients and ourselves as company employees with another of the pillars of living strong and happy lives: mental health."
Reflection, awareness, self-knowledge, education, and empowerment are some of the words that emerge as protagonists in this workshop led by Constanza del Rosario, a renowned clinical psychologist from the PUC (Puerto Rico University) with a postgraduate degree in Emotional Education and Well-being from the University of Barcelona.
“I love that ILUS is so visionary and is embodying the two-way nature of a phrase we all know but so rarely take seriously—“a healthy mind in a healthy body” and “a healthy body in a healthy mind”—and at the same time is able to expand it by understanding the impact that physical and mental health has on our ways of relating and, of course, parenting; especially considering how physically and psychologically demanding being a mother is,” says Constanza.
Joaquín Castro, one of the workshop organizers, adds, "Over time, we've learned that it's not just the body that trains, but also our emotional and mental well-being. We wanted to create this opportunity to promote and solidify pillars in our community to be healthier, happier, and contribute to others."
