A flex at 48: Chito Miranda shows off fitness progress

Chito Miranda proudly showed the progress in his body after he shifted to a healthier lifestyle, engaging more in exercising instead of smoking and drinking.

The 48-year-old Parokya ni Edgar frontman spoke about his fitness journey, showing an old photo of himself with a beer belly through his Instagram page on Thursday, March 21.

“Gym muna bago mag-gig. Medyo labas pa rin yung ribs ko sa dibdib, pero at least dahan-dahan nang nawawala ‘yung tiyan ko,” he said.

(Going to the gym before a gig. My ribs are still visible on my chest but at least my beer belly is slowly getting smaller.)

“Alam ko po na madami pa akong bigas na kakainin (which is funny kasi hindi naman na ako nagra-rice), pero proud ako sa progress ko, at masaya ako now with how I look, and more importantly, with how I feel,” he added.

(I know that I still have to eat lots of rice—which is funny because I no longer eat rice—but I’m proud of my progress, and I’m happy with how I look, and more importantly, with how I feel.)

Miranda also noted that his cholesterol, blood sugar, uric acid and blood pressure have all improved and are now down to normal.

“Para sa isang 48-year-old dude na dating malakas magyosi at uminom, na nag-simula mag-rakenrol lifestyle at the age of 12, I think that is something worth flexing,” he stated.

(For a 48-year-old dude who smoked and drank too much before, and whose rock and roll lifestyle started when he was 12, I think that is something worth flexing.)
