if you’ve been working out<br />

a lot you have to listen to<br />

your body as much as it<br />

would listen to you.<br />

my shirt. Also, It’s not just coming to the set, prepared<br />

for my scene. I also have to be physically, mentally,<br />

and emotionally prepared. To sum it up, It is all about<br />

knowing my responsibilities as a person, as an actor,<br />

and as a celebrity because I always want to be able to<br />

present myself the best way possible. ” He elaborates.<br />

Aside from looking tight, lean and fit, Piolo prefers the<br />

HIIT program because of the adjustability of its features<br />

in terms of the his age, physical capabilities, and<br />

level of his fitness, among other considerations.<br />

“HIIT For me, works so well because it’s like being in<br />

a sauna (afterwards) and that there’s a time element<br />

which I can finish quickly and efficiently. And even if<br />

I don’t have to lift heavy but do more exercises under<br />

each program, I get to improve my agility which is<br />

excellent especially now that I’m getting old. If you’ve<br />

been working out a lot, you have to listen to your body<br />

as much as it would listen to you. I have to know when<br />

I have to adjust my program to make it still effective. So<br />

I change my program every couple of months so that I<br />

won’t get used to doing the same thing over and over. “<br />

Said Piolo.<br />

He gets to condition his agility and mobility when<br />

he explores his bodyweight exercises (which are<br />

his favorites) in his HIIT program. Moreover, he<br />

feels that combining free weights and bodyweight<br />

exercises activates more muscles which increases<br />

his calorie output. With this approach in exercise,<br />

Piolo believes that his body responds better when it<br />

comes to getting leaning.<br />

Not only does he pay attention on how his body<br />

reacts to his fitness regimen, Piolo also knows what<br />

works for him when it comes to his food intake.<br />

“I don’t have a diet. I eat a lot. I eat almost everything.<br />

That’s the reason why I work out more. I try<br />

to work up a sweat (through exercise) as often as I<br />

can get rid of the unwanted calories that I took in.<br />

I don’t want to deprive myself. I know what my<br />

body can take and what time I can take it during the<br />

day. Of course, I try to be aware of the appropriate<br />

eating habit for my lifestyle. Basically, I don’t need<br />

to eat as much at night. I lessen my intake of carbs<br />

and focus on food that has nutrients and vitamins.<br />

Sometimes I splurge on sweets. I have a sweet tooth<br />

so it’s harder for me. So I just try to balance it out by<br />

exercising longer.” He explained.
