Engineer and former presidential candidate Xóchitl Gálvez shared her fitness journey. She explained how, after the physically and emotionally draining 2024 presidential campaign, she began a personal health transformation. Her first step towards losing 24 kilograms wasn't in a gym, but with a simple decision: to start walking. Gálvez now promotes exercise on her social media, sharing her routines and healthy recipes, like the green juice she drinks every morning. She emphasized that being 'fit' is not about achieving a specific aesthetic but about being functional. At 62, she trains with weights and cardio and has returned to cycling around Mexico City. Gálvez highlighted that building muscle helps prevent injuries and improves mobility. Her diet is based on rice, chicken, fish, vegetables, and green juice. She worked with a nutritionist and acupuncturist to address not just her diet but also her stress-related eating habits. Gálvez stated that her improved fitness allows her to perform demanding engineering tasks, like climbing several meters of scaffolding with ease.
