Personal Trainer

Barbie had maintained consistency in hitting the gym. However, her work commitments with the TV series, The Half Sisters, from 2014 to 2016, made it difficult for her to have regular access to the gym.

As she had to compromise on her workout frequency, she made sure that she was eating right to maintain her figure.
