Recently, one of our friends posted this on Facebook: "Ang daming tao sa gym, juskopo." Many "liked" and "laughed" at the status update -- it was the first month of the New Year, after all. Many indulged over the holidays so as one commenter quipped, "#Atonement."
For the rest, a new year often means taking another stab at getting fit and healthy. But if you want your sweat goals to happen (at least for the first quarter of the year), try a tried-and-tested trick: do it with your partner. Take inspiration from these celebrity couples.
Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo
After giving birth to Lucho and Luna, Judy Ann went on a "balik-alindog" exercise regimen that often included Ryan the entertainer (to help distract his wife from the hard moves, of course).
Troy Montero and Aubrey Miles
If you follow Aubrey's Instagram account, you know that she is dead serious about staying fit, proudly taking control of her body after childbirth. Troy, who's a fitness buff himself, always has her back.
Iya Villania and Drew Arellano
Another fitness nut was Iya who never stopped her sweat routines during pregnancy. Drew was right along with her.
Kristine Hermosa Oyo Sotto
Ever since they got together, biking has been this couple's go-to exercise, and it didn't stop even when Kristine was pregnant.
Ina Raymundo and Brian Poturnak
Nothing is impossible. Take it from Ina who has five kids! If she's not dancing, Ina joins her "trainer who does not charge me," hubby Brian Poturnak, at the gym.
Lucy Torres and Richard Gomez
Aside from acting, Richard has always been an athlete so it's not a suprise that Lucy and even daughter Julianna is into sports, too.
Carmina Villarroel and Zoren Legaspi
The family that exercises together, stays fit together. Not only Carmina and Zoren work out at the gym, their twins Mavy and Cassy join in on the fun, too.
Bianca Gonzalez and JC Intal
Being married to an athlete has its perks. You get swept into the same passion to sweat. To his credit, pro baller JC intal joins his wife Bianca in Pilates.
Remember healthy parents can take better care of the kids.
