Not about revenge bodies or impossible bounce-back standards anymore, it’s intentional wellness as a non-negotiable mental health hack, perhaps the ultimate physical outlet for a mountain-load of stress. </p><p>Well, in any case, it’s a good way to give the kids a front-row seat to what discipline and self-love actually look like in motion. Ahead, meet the city’s fitspirations who nail down that strength only gets better with motherhood. </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Ina Raymundo</strong></div><p>The 50-year-old actress continues to defy the laws of aging with the kind of physique that sends the internet spiraling every fashion week runway.

A fan of working out at home or in boutique studios, she’s famously consistent with her spinning and circuit training, which has helped her maintain a core that would make anyone half her age jealous. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779182053790Sunshine Cruz.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @sunshinecruz718</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Jodi Sta. Maria</strong></div><p>Jodi recently leveled up her fitness game for her action-packed roles (props to her 2024 series Lavender Fields). Her routine shifted from general wellness to intense strength and conditioning, mastering stunts, punches, and high-energy drills that require serious grit. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779181892769Jodi Sta Maria.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @jodistamaria</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Solenn Heussaff</strong></div><p>The it-girl mom who makes hardcore training look like a fashion editorial. After two kids, she’s back to her toned self through a mix of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), boxing, and the “Belo Body Reset” program. This year, Solenn eyes to compete in another HYROX race, paired up with her husband, Nico Bolzico.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779181647807Solenn Heussaff.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @solenn</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Isabelle Daza</strong></div><p>The relatable queen of postpartum fitness. Belle’s been incredibly transparent about the struggle to lose pregnancy weight, advocating for fasted cardio and 30-minute treadmill sprints. She balances this with strength training (kettlebells and barbells) to keep her muscles toned. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779181436588Isabelle Daza.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @isabelledaza</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Iya Villania-Arellano</strong></div><p>Shall we say the final boss of fit moms? Well, this woman literally works out while pregnant (safely, of course!) and bounces back with superhuman speed. Iya’s routine is a heavy mix of CrossFit, weightlifting, and indoor cycling. She’s an ardent advocate for moving your body regardless of your stage in motherhood. </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779181215105Iya Villania.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @iyavillania</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Jennylyn Mercado</strong></div><p>Jennylyn stays snatched through a diverse palette of activities.

Camille’s journey resonates with many moms because it feels attainable.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1779180876064Camille Prats.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo via @camilleprats</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Aubrey Miles</strong></div><p>Aubrey is basically a fitness influencer who happens to be a celebrity.
