Editor’s Note
‘Fitspiration’ is a combination of two words
– fitness and inspiration. Fitness is the quality of
being suitable or good physical condition. It may
result our competency. On the other hand, inspiration is an arousal of the mind to unusual activity or
creativity. It is also a product our creative thinking
and work. Basically, fitspiration is a competency
based on a product of creative thinking and work.
It may be in sports, showbiz, entertainment, theatre, bodybuilding, fashion and modeling. And
that is why we came up with this theme that is not
just limited to one area. This issue shows the wide
array of talents and capabilities of selected men –
fitspiration beasts; and women – fitspiration beauties beyond the lens of a camera.
In this issue, we focus on different icons
that embody empowerment to the society in various fields. Sometimes we think that being fit has to
be bulk, shredded, super muscular, thin, curvy or
sexy, but it actually is not enough. It is about how
you live your lifestyle and how you equip other
people with your work and influence them. Looking good is not enough, how you look a nd live
inside and out matters.
This fall, we celebrate our 2nd year anniversary special dedicated to contemporary men and
women, as well as our supportive readers. We are
grateful to everyone for making this special issue
even more possible – to our editorial team, to our
brilliant featured models, to all the amazing photographers and make-up artists, and our contributor writers. I’d like to acknowledge my fitspiration
feature models in this issue for taking rigorous
time and for giving an effort to make this special
feature very creative. We are privileged to work
with these talented and incredible people. We look
forward to more years as we venture more captive
moments and interesting features to tell to our dear
readers and followers. I remember an unforgettable
advice of my wise mentor back then when I was
starting my writing and voice-over career during
my senior college, he told me once that “Life and
career are the same. Always remember that it’s
not about how small or big you are, the amount
of ‘likes’ you get, number of ‘followers’ you have,
countless ‘comments’ you received, or even the
total of fans you can have; but it’s always about
how you value and en joy your work. Career was
never about quantity, it is always about the quality
you put effort to it and how you empower the society.” He was right and I agree that it’s never about
the amount of accomplishments but how and why
you work. No words can truly express for all the
gratitude. Enjoy and happy reading to everyone!
Cheers for more years and issues to come!
