"I don't work out, but these days, I'm active," Andrea told members of the entertainment press.
Andrea is motivated by two things, the first being her overall health and well-being.
The second is to look good and endure the demands of her latest television series High Street, where she is joined by Xyriel Manabat, Zaijan Jaranilla, Elijah Canlas, and Angel Aquino, among others.

That's not the case now, as she is encouraged by the team behind High Street to be consistent and disciplined with her training.
Currently, Andrea trains in Muay Thai three times a week, which is "really, really tiring," according to the actress.
Meanwhile, Andrea enjoys swimming with her mom, turning the activity into a special bonding moment for mother and daughter.
ANDREA BRILLANTES's healthier lifestyle
Part of Andrea's journey to well-being is watching what she eats to avoid gaining weight.
"Yung mga snacks ko po, medyo ginawan ko ng mas healthy alternatives," she told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal).
She added, "Hindi lang siguro ako masyadong kumakain na. Kung gaano ako kadami kumain before [binabawasan ko na]."
Andrea also prioritizes getting enough sleep to ensure she's well-rested for the next day.
"Tapos hindi ako masyado lumalabas-labas. At saka surrounding yourself lang din with a positive group," said Andrea.
"Kasi kapag kasama mo yung mga nagbi-bring out ng best sa iyo, talagang mas maganda ka, mas blooming."
