The 'Pepito Manaloto' star also gives advice to all mommies who wish to become healthier like her.

Kapuso star Manilyn Reynes may be a busy celebrity, wife, and mom, but she always finds time for her family and herself.

In her recent guest appearance on Pinoy MD, Manilyn emphasized the importance of family bonding and self-love in order to be physically and mentally healthy.

The Pepito Manaloto star reveals that as much as possible she reserves her weekend for her family, and that working out together is their favorite bonding moment.

“We run…a bit of walking siyempre,” Manilyn tells Pinoy MD. “Nag-i-increase nang nag-i-increase naman 'yan, hindi ba? 'Yung speed mo…”

The former That's Entertainment cast member also says that she's mostly into cardiovascular workout and hula-hooping.

“Natutuwa kang gawin, natutuwa kang balikan, (and) at the same time, may benefits naman.”

She also revealed that she's been into boxing since she was little, and has incorporated it in her workout routine.

“Ako ay boxing fan talaga, kahit noon pa. Maliit pa lang ako, nanonood ako ng boxing kasama ang lolo ko.”

Boxing is good for strengthening the heart and aids with muscle toning, and often results in weight loss and improved eye-hand coordination

Finally, Manilyn underlined that her fitness goal is not to be sexy, but to be healthy. And she also wants mommies like her to not feel pressured to look a certain way and achieve results immediately as this can affect their mental health.

“Mommies, 'wag din tayo ma-stress na 'Ay, kailangan maging ganito rin ako. Ngayon na. Ngayon na. Ngayon na.' kasi alam n'yo po 'yun? Pumupunta rin sa isip natin eh.”
