Wacheni shortcuts: Diana Marua tells ladies to hit the gym instead of surgery
07th September, 2026 02:51 PM
Kenyan singer and digital content creator Diana Marua has urged women to embrace exercise and healthy eating instead of relying on shortcuts to achieve their desired body shapes.
Her message to women was direct, encouraging them to prioritise exercise rather than seeking quick alternatives.
“Ladies, take your A$$ to the gym! Wacheni shortcuts! No offence, Anyhu,” Diana stated.
Diana, who has been documenting her fitness journey, on Monday, September 7, 2026, said she has developed a strong attachment to working out as she embraces ageing.
“I think I am addicted to the gym; I want to do those workouts because we are ageing gracefully,” Diana said.
The mother of three also said she has noticed changes in her appearance, joking that she looks younger and that people might mistake her for her daughter Heaven’s big sister rather than her mother.
According to Diana, maintaining a youthful appearance is not only about exercising but also eating well.
“Every day I look at myself, I see that I am becoming younger by the day. At times, nikaa hivi na. Heaven, guys, you might think I am Heaven’s big sister, and to be honest, I am eating well and incorporating it with the gym,”she added.
Additionally, Diana revealed that getting rid of tummy fat is the hardest.
“The hardest thing to lose is the tummy,” she revealed.
Cosmetic surgeries
Diana’s remarks come at a time when cosmetic procedures are increasingly becoming part of conversations around body image and beauty in Kenya. Recent reporting has highlighted growing interest among women in procedures ranging from breast lifts and body contouring to weight-loss treatments.
Some women in the public eye have openly discussed procedures they have undergone or considered as they seek to achieve particular body shapes, while others continue to rely on exercise, nutrition and lifestyle changes.
The wider trend has also sparked debate over whether cosmetic procedures are being used as alternatives to traditional approaches such as gym workouts and dieting.
Diana, however, appears to be advocating for consistency, encouraging women to put in the work rather than looking for shortcuts.
