Banging in her 40s, all you can say is "vavavoom" when you get a hold and sight of Ara Mina nowadays. We caught up with the actress at the Feta Mediterranean Restaurant, Rockwell Makati as she arrived in a simple navy blue fit top and black pants that highlighted her 26inch waistline.

Ara revealed she has hypothyroidism but she already went to the experts to keep the condition at bay that will not hinder her from her fitness goals.

"Naisip ko kasi si J.Lo, 'di ba? She looks great. Nainspire ako. Wala talagang excuse. You have to put in the hard work," the actress said.

As for her secret, Ara shared, "I do Bikram Yoga. I don't eat junk foods. I don't drink soft drinks. Iyong sweets ko, mga once a week lang." Sometimes, Ara said, that she also works out together with her sister, Cristine Reyes, and Marco Gumabao. "Grabe mag-work out iyong dalawang iyon. Wala akong ligtas. Gumigising sila ng maaga at ginigising nila ako!" she further revealed.

Well, it is all good for Ara as she prepares for her 30th anniversary concert on July 11 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.

"Halos every day talaga ako nagtraining, pati rehearsals," she said.
