I was also part of the one last year,” the <em><strong>Can’t Buy Me Love</strong></em> actress shared. </p><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><p>While she was pressed for time in terms of having to prepare for the shoot, Kaila was still confident of how it turned out. To her, though, if there’s a chance for extra time, she would exert more strength into shaping up. </p><div><br/></div><p>“I feel like I would go on a diet to keep me lean and also, do workouts for lengthening and toning. <em>Kasi</em> I feel like it looks nice ’<em>pag medyo</em> toned ’<em>yung katawan</em> for summer shoots or bikini shoots like this. But thankfully, I have been focusing a lot on my health and my gut health. So I’ve been very particular about stuff that I’ve been eating now and I’ve also been very active,” she mused.</p><div><br/></div><p>Contrary to some who completely focus on their frame, Kaila is more about maintaining her holistic health now. She navigates sports and activities such as boxing and weightlifting, and in between, Pilates and strength training. </p><div><br/></div><p>“I like to do that because I like sportier workouts, ‘cause I feel like it keeps me excited to work out every day,” Kaila shared in an exclusive interview with <strong>Metro.Style</strong>. Empowered and poised, Kaila also explained why dieting isn’t exactly her act. “I love food, so unless I have something that I need to prepare for, I don’t really diet.”</p><div><br/></div><p>“I just try to eat whole food, good food. And then I indulge every once in a while <em>pero hindi rin palagi</em>…But if I have to prepare for something, I would keep myself in a deficit. I do intermittent fasting, and then I try to cut down on my sugar and carbs.”</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/5a8fb790-628d-417c-8dcc-9be2b2a4ed7e_metrobody_kaila_2.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Metro Body 2024: Kaila Estrada Highlights Holistic Health"/></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>Then a varsity player of volleyball, Kaila has taken on pastimes that polished her acting and modeling abilities. Part of her practice is striving to be stronger, making herself more agile as what her work as an actress requires. She told <strong>Metro.Style</strong>, “I like strength training as well. I like lifting weights ’cause I feel like it keeps me strong… It helps when I’m working <em>din</em>. <em>Parang</em> I don’t get so easily tired.”</p><div><br/></div><p>“I noticed <em>na</em> if I take a break from working out for a long time, <em>mas mabilis akong mapagod</em>. So it’s pretty much just that—being able to move around and being able to work and do my daily activities without burning out so quickly,” Kaila added.</p><div><br/></div><p>Roped in by habit and the belief that more than the make, what’s inside matters more, Kaila illuminates the road to being her best self—inward or on the surface. She opened up, “I struggled a lot with my body because I feel like there’s a certain standard in society about how your body should look… I feel like I’ve struggled with it pretty much all my life.”</p><div><br/></div><p>“But then, now that I’m older and a bit wiser and a bit more mature,” Kaila confidently shared. “I’m more focused on feeling good in terms of my health and dieting to keep me healthy instead of to keep me skinny or to keep me on a certain standard.”</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Kaila Estrada is #fitnessgoals in the gallery below:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div
