KC Concepcion gets fit with a tea

MANILA, Philippines - Run down the sexiest and most beautiful young women of today and for sure, showbiz royal KC Concepcion would place at the top of the pack. What makes her a real icon of beauty and wellness? Read on to find out.

KC loves keeping fit and sexy. For her, pursuing a healthy life is a passion. She believes it’s what inspires confidence and a positive disposition. Though it’s a lot of work, she commits herself to it. But being in the spotlight and juggling tight schedules every day makes staying in shape all the more challenging. That is why it’s important for her to make the right choices. More than anything else, she’s mindful of what she takes into her body.

That is why KC keeps it real. She goes for what she enjoys the most and what feels natural. Like her green tea beverage of choice, Real Leaf. “It’s a pretty stressful, physically demanding world out there,” says KC. “And I’m just like everybody else wanting to look and feel their best all the time, that is why I choose a drink that helps me restore balance, recharge and refuel myself to keep up and keep going. Going all-natural, all-real with Real Leaf is the way to go.”

Sexy, healthy KC: KC Concepcion spends her time getting fit and sexy with the hottest new workout to hit Manila, Plana Forma.

There couldn’t be any better, more real choice. Expertly brewed and made with only the highest standards, Real Leaf packs the wholesome benefits of real tea blended with the natural goodness of real honey in one great-tasting bottle. Plus it’s made even more delicious by infusing fruit flavors such as lychee, lemon and apple. It’s a one-of-a-kind combination that helps revive both mind and body.

For KC it’s no different when it comes to the fitness regimen she follows. She chose to take dance classes to keep in shape. While in Paris, she also practiced Agni Yoga, a form of yoga that focuses on stretching and developing flexibility to strengthen the muscles. She also used to follow a specially prescribed circuit-training workout. “Every morning, even if my call time for the day is at 8 a.m., I’m at the gym. (My trainer) never lets me start the day without working out,” KC says.

Just as Real Leaf has leveled up the standards in green tea, the sought-after actress and TV host is now all set to take her quest for a fit and fab life to another level. KC now dedicates her time to burning calories and staying fit by doing what’s called “the newest and most effective workout to ever hit Manila,” Plana Forma. “It’s a combination of Pilates, yoga and dance,” she says. “It’s probably the most intense and addictive fitness regimen I’ve ever done. You get all the rewarding benefits in just 55 minutes.”

On July 21, KC was officially introduced as the face of Plana Forma. The special press event was attended by notable personalities who are also avid followers of the breakthrough fitness activity. The highlight of the occasion? The arrival of Real Leaf ambassador Piolo Pascual, who came to show his support for his beloved sweetheart. No doubt he’s the perfect man for KC. Not only is he passionate about wellness activities and getting fit, he is also for everything natural and healthy. And that is why, like KC, Real Leaf is his real choice.
