Angel Locsin back in fighting form

-

Showbiz fans have always seen Angel Locsin as a fighter, and the ABS-CBN actress confirmed this once more with her latest Instagram post.

Nearly three years ago after undergoing surgery for her spinal injury, Angel shows off her new fighting form as she continues her training for The General's Daughter, her forthcomin­g teleserye comeback on ABSCBN prime time.

The actress executes a flurry of menacing kicks in her kickboxing training montage video.

In her caption, Angel relates how her health condition taught her determinat­ion, patience, and selfrespec­t.

Angel writes, "My spine injury will always be with me and it took me a while to accept that. As a former athlete who used to believe in 'mind over matter' to conquer pain, I realized that pain is sometimes just a reminder that we might be pushing ourselves too hard beyond our limits. But it doesn’t mean that you should stop.

She continued, "After many relapses & tears, despite being told that I CANNOT anymore, this is me doing kicks again :) Prolly not the way that I used to, but this is fine for now. I’m doing this carefully this time. With the help of my trusted PT and instructor­s. Still a long way to go. If you are suffering from injuries and reading this, I hope your process will not take as long as mine.

"If it does, that’s fine. You would know when you’re ready to bounce back. Praying for no pain and speedy recovery. If you are among the lucky ones who are not in pain, thanks for taking time to read this long post.

"I appreciate your effort and I hope that you could help uplift the suffering through awareness and understand­ing. Cheers to good health!"

It was in late 2015 when Angel revealed that she had a spine condition called "bulging disc injury." PUSH.COM
