Kapuso actor Ruru Madrid worked so hard for GMA's action-adventure series 'Lolong.'
Ruru Madrid's role on Lolong is a young man born with the unique ability to communicate with a giant crocodile named Dakila.
Ruru strayed from his usual exercise routine. He also admitted that the change had him struggling for a while.
"Sobrang nag-struggle ako kasi this is the first na iniba ko 'yung training ko. I used to be sobrang payat. This time ang goal ko maging mas ripped at shredded for this project. Gusto ko lang maging fit sa role ko," he said in an interview.
He also shared the preparations he made for his role such as changing his diet, particularly his intake of carbohydrates.
Ruru has also been sharing a lot of his workout routines.
In one of Ruru's Instagram posts, he is seen doing a 10-kilometer run, step-up variations, outdoor dips, and various core exercises.
Another showed him working on toning his arms with exercises using a dumbbell and some pull ups.
Even before that, Ruru has always strived to have toned arms.
