Melissa Gohing
What is your fitness routine?
I love cardio exercises. I try to run from my condo’s ground floor to the rooftop, then do some core exercises and weights in the gym. During volleyball season or off season, I do Pilates for my back injury and CrossFit for strengthening/conditioning.
How do you find time to work out?
I “require” myself to exercise daily. But if my schedule doesn’t permit, then I just do some core workouts in my room.
What motivates you?
Setting a goal drives me to push harder and harder every day. As an athlete, it’s already a lifestyle for me to keep myself in shape. Missing a day of training is like two steps backward in reaching my goal.
Any fitness advice or mantra?
It’s never a question of “Can you do it?” but “Will you do it?” Ask yourself: “When will you start?” “Will you still keep on going?”
Alexander Diaz
What is your fitness routine?
I lose and gain weight relatively quickly so that means I have to be somewhat strict with my fitness/diet routine. I try to hit the gym four to five times a week — two of those days are devoted to boxing and flag football with some friends in between. I also have deliciously prepared meals from a diet delivery service.
How do you find time to work out?
I’ve been extremely busy because of taping, but I try to work it into the beginning or end of all my days! It should be a lifestyle!
What motivates you?
Results. Results motivate me.
Any fitness advice or mantra?
Internalize the process and find ways to change up your routine. The hardest part about fitness is finding your rhythm. Once you’ve found that, it’s smooth sailing!
Aiko Climaco
What is your fitness routine?
I go to the gym to do weights and TRX. Circuit training from time to time, and even boxing. Diversity is key — sticking to just one workout tends to get boring.
How do you find time to work out?
I work out early. It really makes a difference if you wake up early, you can accomplish so much.
What motivates you?
It’s funny, but I look at pictures of Victoria’s Secret models and say, “I want to be like them!” It makes me want to workout every day.
Any fitness advice or mantra?
Eat a balanced diet, and try to live a healthy lifestyle as much as possible. Make sure that you perform at least one workout routine every day, so you don’t lose your momentum.
