Chie Filomeno Shares Swimsuit Photo "Night Swimming"

Chie Filomeno is going for a dip – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the A Very Good Girl star shows off her incredible figure during an evening session at the pool. "Night swimming," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Pretty," commented one of her followers. "Girlllll so 🔥🔥🔥🔥" added another. How does the young star approach health and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

Chie gets her steps in by walking her dog. "After work it's time to walk ze fur-baby. No matter how busy my schedule is, I promised myself to always find time to play with them! They tend to be very playful and excited when it's time for their daily walk!" she captioned a post. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

"I give my body what it needs. I don't deprive my body because I don't believe in the diet that you have to starve yourself. Because we have different bodies. Our bodies need different things, so we really need to know what our bodies need," she told Push.com.ph, adding that she tried every diet under the sun, including one where she drank only water. "The diets that didn't work for me. There are many diets out there."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

The only diet that worked for her? "Hard work," she said. "I didn't wake up with my body like this. We really work hard for it. Eat then do wo-workout then eat. That's really me," she continued.  "Because I really don't want to lose weight, I want to gain muscle. So weights and stronger," she told Pep.PH.

Since Chie's fitness goal is to gain muscle instead of losing weight, she doesn't run. "I'm more of like lifting weights. I avoid cardio since I'm petite. So I wanna gain muscle."

As for diet, she fuels her body with food – even Popeye's and Shake Shack. "And for my diet, you might not believe it but I eat really hard. I give my body what it needs, she said. "I don't want to deprive my body, eh. That's why I work out. What you feed yourself also needs to be healthy." She does "make sure it's balanced," she continued. "You know that feeling when you eat junk food? I really avoid pork. That's what I avoid. Because our body immediately feels the weight after eating those foods, right?"

"I also dance," Chie told Pep.Ph. "I think that's my cardio." Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
