Iya Villania returns to the gym after giving birth to baby Anya Love
"Chika Minute" anchor Iya Villania is back in action, resuming her fitness journey after welcoming her fifth child, Anya Love!
The well-known showbiz host took to Instagram to share her return to the gym, marking her first workout since giving birth. In a short reel, Iya gave fans a glimpse of her routine, including fun moments and the minor discomfort of getting back into gym clothes.
Reflecting on her fitness journey, Iya admitted that her mindset has shifted over time. "I used to be in such a rush to get back to my pre-pregnancy body, but now - after 5 kids - I've become more patient with my body just respecting it and being in awe of what its been able to do time and time again," she wrote.
Despite still feeling "fluffy" in some areas, she emphasized that strength is her main goal, with fat loss as a bonus. "The endorphins, the energy, the friends and chika. Plus who doesn't feel good about being able to reap the benefits of the work that they put in?" she said.
Followers of Iya flooded the comment section with supportive and heartwarming messages. Many even felt delighted to see the Kapuso star back in her element and praised for her dedication to stay fit.
Rochelle Pangilinan was also spotted giving love and support to her friend by giving the reel a heart reaction.
Aside from her fitness update, Iya also shared how hiring a night nurse for baby Anya has helped her maintain balance and avoid postpartum depression. She even encouraged everyone to try hiring one as it really helped her recover from the pregnancy.
