She Didn't Start Working Out Until Recently

For many years, Glaiza didn't workout very much. "I'm not really an athletic person but my workout includes running, muay thai and cage fitness," she revealed on Twitter. "The most important step in preparing for running and competing in races is planning ahead. This is particularly true for longer distances, such as marathons. For these events, planning months ahead is necessary. Adhering to running programs that gradually progress running distances and allow for appropriate days of rest will progressively prepare your body's joints and tissues, allowing it to adapt and rebuild over time," says the Mayo Clinic.

She Started Taking Spin Classes

However, a few years later she discovered cycling and fell in love. She explained to Pretty Darn Fit that she struggled to stay consistent with exercise and that each time she hit her target weight, she ended up gaining the weight back. One of the ways she ended up getting in the best shape of her life was via spin classes.
