MANILA – It’s easy to assume that Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach is a gym rat, judging from her toned body and tiny waist.

But the Filipina beauty queen said she only stays in the gym for a maximum of one hour.

“[Avoid] going overboard during workouts,” she said in an e-mail interview with the entertainment website Pep.

She added that she only does exercises at a comfortable pace so she would not “dread coming back the next day.”

When asked how she maintains her 36-23-35 body measurements, Wurtzbach replied: “Eating everything in moderation.”

“I prefer a cheat meal than a cheat day. I wouldn’t want to indulge too much in one day,” she explained.

Prior to competing – and eventually winning – in Miss Universe 2015, Wurtzbach struggled to lose weight, according to her pageant mentor, Jonas Gaffud.
