Valerie Concepcion in Punch Out fitness Video

VALERIE CONCEPCION denies she was hurt when Willie Revillame chided her and her mom on the air as always eating inside the dressing room that's why she's gaining weight. "Hindi ko na lang pinansin yun kasi alam ko namang palabiro siya," she says. "Masasaktan pa ba ko sa ganung mga biro, e hindi naman totoo dahil panay nga ang workout ko ngayon."

Valerie hosts the new fitness video released by Viva, "Punch Out", the first local boxing instructional video perfect for those who want to exercise at home. We've seen it and she looks so sexy in her athletic outfit you won't think she already has a five-year old daughter, Fiona. "Buti na lang naalis ni Dr. Vicki Belo ang stretch marks ko," she says, referring to Dr. Belo's Hot Mama campaign which she endorses. "Right after I gave birth, talagang nag-boxing ako to lose weight. From 135 lbs, bumalik ako sa dati kong weight na 115 lbs. I stopped when I got busy again sa showbiz. Now, I return to boxing in 'Punch Out' and I realized na-miss ko talaga ito."

The video is made with the supevision of boxing analyst Mike Ochosa, who owns the Punch Out gym in Salcedo Village, Makati. "Boss Vic del Rosario saw me as commentator sa fight ni Manny Pacquiao and he asked me to do a boxing video as a fitness program," says Mike. "They chose Valerie as the host and she's perfect as she's willing to learn and easy to teach. We show the various fundamental stages of boxing here, from footwork, stance, at yung iba't ibang klase ng suntok like jab, uppercut. We trained Valerie first for one month pati sa punching bag and speedball before we taped the video. You can check us sa web in punchoutboxingclub.com.ph."

Performing with Valerie in the video are the sexy members of Eurasia, an all girl song-and-dance act from Viva composed of Gail Nicolas, Lana Roy, Sarah Polverin, and Christine Nieto. Going back to Valerie, how come we haven't seen her acting lately? "May offer for me to do 'Precious Hearts' but priority ko kasi ang 'Wowowee'. Also, ang daming personal appearances in fiestas and rallies in Bulacan, Leyte, Isabela, Bacolod. Nami-miss ko na nga ang acting, but I'm told Viva has a new movie in store for me this year."
