Beauty queens Teresa Licaros and Maggie
Wilson surely make being fit and fab seem easy. But the truth
is, these head-turners work on it and yes, they confess, worry
about some aspects of being fit and fabulous, just like every
other woman.
"We have the same genuine concerns of women
in our age group or at least adjacent to that age," Teresa
Licaros, the statuesque former beauty queen and current law
student confesses. "We have the same qualms about our body; we
want to also fix our own imperfections."
And this actually makes these beauty
titlists, Maggie and Teresa, perfect for Q-11’s newest public
affairs program "Fit & Fab" – a health and wellness magazine
program for women. From the latest physical activities and
fashion trends as well as beauty treatments, and a guide to
healthy recipes, women can rely on "Fit & Fab" to nourish them
with fresh and useful information on how to be the best they
can be inside and out.
"‘Fit & Fab’" show women that it is
possible," says program manager Karen Lumbo. "It is achievable
to be fit, to be healthy and to be fabulous at the same time.
Being fabulous in ‘Fit & Fab’ is about showing women something
better, showing them what else they can do with their
personalities, individualities, their lives, basically.
Anything and everything: it’s a holistic package."
The holistic approach certainly appeals to
Maggie and Teresa. "Being fit and fab is all about being
healthy. It’s about having a healthy outlook in life, as much
as having a healthy body," adds Maggie, a stunning
Filipino-British beauty who is also an actress, VJ, and model
all at the same time.
With segments like "Let’s Get Physical,"
"Bring Out Your Fab Side," and "Fit to Eat," "Fit & Fab" seeks
to have its viewers step out of their comfort zones to achieve
something better. "We hope the show empowers women. If they
see something new that seems life-enriching and that they want
to try it, they should just go for it. Actually, that’s what
we do in the show," shares Teresa.
A good example is the program’s "Let’s Get
Physical" segment where both Maggie and Teresa will be shown
trying out various physical activities. "We’re very hands on,"
Teresa laughs. "We’re going to try out everything that we’re
really, really curious about."
