Ano ba ang exercise at diet regimen ng isang Judy Ann Santos?

“Okay, nakakatuwa naman yung ‘fitspiration,’” ang natatawang umpisang reaksiyon ni Judy Ann nang makapanayam siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

“Hindi ko naman inisip na, alam mo yun, magpaka-healthy and all para sa iba,” at muli siyang tumawa.

“Mostly, siyempre nandun yung sa edad natin, o sa edad ko, siyempre nandun na yung iisipin mo yung mas healthy eating, more clean.”

JUDY ANN SANTOS’S DIET

Nakatulong kay Judy Ann ang nutritional programs ni Chechel Joson.

Aniya, “Nagsimula ako mag-start ng detox mga two years ago. So I’m on, most of the time, naka-supply yung food ko by Chechel.

“So ginagawan niya ako ng food na talagang for my chakras, for Ayurvedic. Naniniwala kasi ako sa ganun, yung what works for your body, ano yung food na madaling ma-digest ng katawan mo.”

Pagbabahagi pa ng aktres, “So basically, nagsimula iyan for more on gut cleansing.

“So nag-fill up ako ng maraming probiotics, gut health talaga, kasi maganda yung naging effect niya sa akin.

“Gumanda yung pakiramdam ko, maayos yung gising ko sa umaga, nakakatulog ako nang maayos.”

Aminado naman si Judy Ann na nahinto siya sa pag-exercise.

“So basically, yung exercise, natigil ako ng matagal na panahon diyan, as in matagal, siguro mga ilang taon.”

Bakit siya nahinto sa pag-e-exercise?

“Wala lang,” bulalas ni Judy Ann.

“Parang wala lang akong drive na mag-exercise. Dumating ako sa point na kung gaano ako kasipag mag-exercise dati, wala akong drive.

“Wala namang deeper meaning, walang deeper reason behind it, wala lang. Wala lang akong gana.”

Dito raw niya naisip na umpisahan ang nabanggit na nutritional program.

Paliwanag niya, “And then, na-realize ko baka kailangan kong mag-detox, mag-cleansing, kasi ang cloudy ko mag-isip.

“Feeling ko pagod ako palagi. Hindi naman ako malungkot, pero parang wala lang akong drive to move a lot.

“So nag-start akong mag-detox, nag-start akong mag-gut cleanse. More clean eating, meaning, more fiber first in the morning.

“Marami akong mga tinanggal na mga normal na kinakain ko during the day. Nagpalit lang ako ng mga ganap sa buhay.

“And then, yun na, gumagaan na yung pakiramdam ko.”

Unti-unti nang nakakabalik si Judy Ann sa pag-e-exercise, at dahil ito sa kanyang recent trip to Madrid, Spain.

Nagtungo doon si Judy Ann kasama ang mister niyang si Ryan Agoncillo at mga anak na sina Lucho at Luna nitong June 2024 para sa football event na sinalihan ni Lucho.

Kuwento ng aktres, “Nagsimula na lang ako uli mag-exercise nung bumalik kami from Madrid. After… every day kasi for almost a month, halos 10,000 steps talaga kami ng mga bata at saka ni Rye dun dahil sa activities ni Lucho.

“Nung pagbalik ko wala pa rin masyado, pero nakuha ko na yung rhythm na, ‘Ah okay kaya ko palang mag-10,000 steps.’

“I lost a few pounds when we were in Madrid.”

Ryan’s words of encouragement also helped.

He said, “And then, Rye encouraged me, he told me, ‘You have to move already. Because we’re at an age where we need to increase our bone mass and muscle mass, because that’s what depletes first as we age, right?”

“So that’s when I realized, okay, I need to move it, I need to move it, because I need to sweat.”

“I can’t just keep cutting back on food.”

It was then that Judy Ann started using the treadmill and walking.

He shared, “There are so many things I can’t do.

“I can’t lift much anymore because of my back. All I can do is basic activities, swimming, pilates, yoga, walking.”

“The activities I did as a child where I could do anything, trampoline, weights, heavy lifting, really, are gone.”

“Whatever, basically, just the inspiration on being healthy.”

judy ann santos: “i wanna be healthy.”

Now, Judy Ann exercises not to lose weight but to be healthy.

“It’s not about losing weight anymore, losing weight just became a bonus.”

“Being healthy is what really made me who I am, my motivation. I want to be healthy, I want to be stronger, because I want to keep up with our children’s activities.”

“I want to play with them, I want to spend more time with them.

“I want to be able to wake them up in the morning even if I’m tired when I go home, because that’s my routine.”

Judy Ann is hands-on when it comes to her children.

“They are my routine. No matter what time I get home from work, I wake up at five o’clock, I like to be the one who wakes them up, I make their lunch, I’m there for their breakfast.”

“No matter how sleepy I am, I will wait for them to leave for school. There are times when Luna will beg me to drop her off, I will drop her off.”

“So those are the moments that you can’t really get back. Those are the moments that if I had the energy, I would really give it.”

“Because that doesn’t always happen, but we’re just fortunate that our children are, well, clingy. They always want to be with us, they want us to participate in their activities.”

“So those are the things that are priceless, that’s why I work to be healthy.”

“Whatever, losing weight is just a bonus. But of course we want that, right? Let’s not get plastic surgery here,” Juday laughed.

To be healthy and to live longer.

“Of course, yes, yes.”
