“A fit, healthy body—that is the best fashion statement”
― Jess C. Scott

I started my journey to getting fit a decade ago. I remember weighing 150lbs to my 5'2 frame. I could not climb the stairs without catching my breath. The worst part was my knees are popping and I could hear it when I moved around. That was the time my Ortho doctor told me to exercise and watch my diet. No to softdrinks, no hamburgers, no to concentrated fruit drinks, no pork,  only red lean meat. No to sauces of any kind including ketchup. It was hard at first but with discipline and hardwork. I was back to my ideal 108lbs weight. It paid off.

Getting fit and healthy nowadays is no small feat but with discipline and schedule. You can work it out to your ideal body. If you are around Makati area and is looking for a well equipped gym and experienced trainers , check out the newly opened Anytime Fitness at Glorietta 5.
