“Enjoy. Pace yourself. Kailangan mo na stamina sa trabahong ito. Meron pa tayong three days, then rest, then four days ulit. So stamina physically and emotionally. Ako ang coach mo.
“Naiintindihan ko naman siya kasi yung momentum talagang pag relax ka na… sa iba yung workout parang trabaho rin yun e. Pero sa awa ng Diyos, para sa ‘kin lifestyle. But it’s hard. Sana makapag-inspire pa ko ng ibang tao mag-workout,” Anderson stated.
“More learnings talaga sa genre na ito. More patience din sa sarili ko. Kanina gusto ko na sampalin yung sarili ko kasi parang di ko siya nagagawa. Kailangan ko pa mag-focus. Tiwala sa lahat ng nakakasama ko. Mas ibigay ko pa yung mas nararapat sa role ko,” De Lana admitted she needed to have a lot of preparations for her participation in the project.
