Robin in Men’s Health cover

MANILA, Philippines - Men’s Health Philippines provides you what you need to kick start your goals this 2013 with an issue packed with useful tips to help you get back in shape and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

On the cover is Robin Padilla who at 43 years old is still at his physical prime. A student of many martial arts, Padilla shares the benefits of his constant practice to stay in shape. ‘Kapag fit ka kasi, maliwanag ang isip mo eh,’ Padilla says. He adds that remaining active is all about being smart with the way you train. ‘Kailangan maingat ka rin at hindi puro yabang. Kapag hinaluan mo nun, walang mangyayari sa’yo.’

Despite the changing showbiz landscape, Padilla remains a mover and a shaker within its ranks. He reveals that constantly looking for ways to evolve will help you thrive in any cutthroat industry. ‘Walang taong naging matagumpay na hindi niya tinanggap ‘yung nasa harap niya.’

The January 2013 issue also features the Belly Off All-Stars composed of six men who conquered their respective weight-loss battles and managed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. They share how they worked through their struggles in the battle against the bulge. Included in this group is comedian Bearwin Meily and model Ed Mendez.
