Eat Bulaga host Pauleen Luna-Sotto shared through Instagram posts the struggles of doing Pilates now that she has a child.


In a post last September 22, Pauleen revealed that she has experienced having a "mom guilt" when working out.

"Survived my first Piilates session! I can't even remember the last time I worked out," she wrote in the caption.

"And even though there is 'mom guilt' when I spend me time, I think it is also important that I look after my health, especially now that I have my own family."

Survived my first pilates session! I can't even remember the last time i worked out. And even though there is “mom guilt” when i spend me time, i think it is also important that i look after my health, especially now that i have my own family. This feeling of being in workout clothes is so unfamiliar but truth be told, 5years is a loooooong time and i missed it! I pray to have the strength to continue this. For myself and for my family. Happy sunday, everyone! @onelifestudio

Pauleen then shared a video last October 11 where her daughter, Baby Tali, joined her.

"Today's Pilates session at @onelifestudio (with my little human showing some interest too!)" she said.

After so many sessions, Pauleen revealed that she is now addicted to Pilates and understood that having a 'me time' doesn't lessen her love for her family.

"Guys, I cannot believe that I'm saying this, but I'm addicted to Pilates!" she revealed.

"I realized that it doesn't necessarily mean that I love my family less when I take care of myself.

"As a matter of fact, I feel like I give them more because I am happy!"

This is me, post pilates session. Guys, i cannot believe that i'm saying this, but i'm addicted to pilates! I've always been so lazy to work out, also, cos i used to think that there are far more important things i can do than just work out. I was right, and wrong, too. I never realized how important it is to take care of myself cos i was always busy taking care of others, which i LOVE, btw. And now, i realized that it doesn't necessarily mean that i love my family less when i take care of myself! As a matter of fact, i feel like i give them more because i am happy! Hahaha WHO AM I! I cannot believe that working out makes me happy 😂 (people who know me know how much i dread going to the gym!!!😬) Anyhow, i am just so glad that i have finally found a work out that makes me so happy inside and out! Cheers to a stronger mommy Pau! Okay, now back to Tali. 😂 Sorry for the long post, i'm just really happy to be doing this right now ✨and big thanks to the coaches of @onelifestudio for keeping me motivated!
