Davina keeps her beauty through fitness

Model Davina Veronica was as beautiful as she always looks on the TV screen when I met her at the launch of the Celebrity Fitness gym at Pondok Indah Mall (PIM) II in South Jakarta.

Her body was slim and she looked so steady while standing. She meets the very optimum requirements of a model.

"I started doing fitness exercises three years ago. It was before I became a model. I know from magazines that to be attractive, girls do not have to be sexy (with sensual outfit). More importantly, is the posture of the body," she said after the opening ceremony.

Davina who stars in the television series Kapan Kita Pacaran Lagi? (When will we date again?), added that she worked out regularly to keep her stamina and the posture of her body in good shape.

For that purpose, she focuses on exercises for her arms, shoulders, chest and abs.

She said that she was satisfied with the result of her exercises -- especially with her arms and shoulders.

"But, I have not seen the optimum results for my tummy, because I do not make enough of a routine," she said.

Born on Oct. 20, 1978 in Jakarta, Davina has a very tight schedule for modeling and photo sessions.

"Currently, I have no contract for any films," she added.

To support her fitness regimen, Davina explained that the also watched her diet. For example, she only eats a bit of bread for breakfast and fruit or a protein shake for dinner.

Her only full meal of any day is at lunch time.

Commenting on the opening of more fitness studios in town, Davina said she hoped fitness would not only become a short-term trend, but a long-term lifestyle.

By making fitness exercises a lifestyle, she means that people do the exercises consistently and arrange diets for themselves.

Although there are fellow models and actresses that often go to fitness centers for exercise, Davina said that she usually went on her own.

"If I go to the fitness center with friends, I am afraid we will not do the exercises, but end up gossiping," she admitted.

With her ideal body shape, Davina was appointed the "ambassador" of the Celebrity Fitness gym two years ago. And this year, the Celebrity Fitness has decided to extend Davina's contract.
