Derek Ramsay’s way to healthy living

By Nickie Wang

Health and weight-conscious men (and also women) who spend hours lifting weights and doing crunches in health clubs and fitness gyms should learn from celebrity hunk Derek Ramsay. He doesn’t go to the gym but exercises regularly at home. He does a hundred pushups every morning, engages in physical activities like sports, and eats the right food. Isn’t it the best way to get in shape?

“If time permits, I try to go to the gym but because of my busy schedule I make an effort to find other ways to keep myself mentally and physically healthy,” actor and commercial model Derek explained.
