PIOLO PASCUAL
Although Piolo compensates added exercise for
giving in to his sweet tooth cravings, he still considers
rest and recovery equally important in maintaining
his healthy physical and mental condition.
“So when my body tells me to also rest and sleep
because I know that my mind won’t function well at
work when I lack rest, I have to relax and invest this
for my healthy recovery. However, in some occasions,
I go out, drink, and stay up late. To make up
for this, I make sure that I am able to sleep 6 hours
so that I can work out the next day. Otherwise, I
don’t work out at all and just sleep it off.” Said Piolo.
Aside from making sure that he sleeps enough from
a late night of work or “going out”, Piolo starts his
day with 2 scoops of his pre-workout supplement.
This supplement assures him of the added energy he
needs throughout his day.
An important note that he considers in making
his fitness program work for him is organizing his
schedule. For him, properly planning his day is important
so that he gets to work out often.
“While I believe that I shouldn’t have an off- season
on keeping in shape, I always include workout in the
morning as part of my daily routine. I don’t want
making this
schedule work
for you gives
you no reason
not to stay in
shape
to start the day feeling
sluggish. So I try not
to (as much as possible)
have an off
season because it’s
hard to get back
on your regular
program if you stop
exercising for a
while. It’s important
to balance everything
in life including exercise.
You just have to properly
organize exercise in your daily schedule to make it
part of your lifestyle. Making this schedule work
for you gives you no reason not to stay in shape. ”
He said.
His drive to excel and to strike a balance between
his life in fitness to that in show business
reflects the type of values he would want his followers
and the people close to him to remember
him by when he decides to retire.
“Your work ethic, attitude, personality and your
character will always be remembered because it
will speak a lot about what you did with your life.
For me, If I were no longer active in show business,
I would want to be remembered as dedicated,
professional, and responsible in all the things that
I have accomplished without seeking acknowledgement,
affirmation or attention. The feeling of
satisfaction in this regard is much more rewarding
for me than being remembered for the things that I
have accomplished.” Ended Piolo.
