14 DAY TRIAL // She never made a secret of her love for chocolate, which often made her feel guilty about being able to do what few other models could even dream of. Adriana Lima remains convinced she shouldn’t say no to life’s little pleasures, but also dedicated to staying healthy.
Lima is one of Victoria’s Secret most famous Angels, as well as one of the most in demand supermodels of the moment, with a paycheck believed to be of about $8 million.
For this kind of money, it’s her duty to look good, and she’s the first to admit to that. Nevertheless, Lima is also dedicated to staying healthy – for her and for her baby girl.
Speaking to Miami Herald about the latest Victoria’s Secret collection and fragrance, Lima also sheds some her light on how her regular workout looks, thus once more stressing winning the genetic lottery is not enough.
“I work out nearly every day. Especially after I had [daughter Valentina, now 10 months], I really wanted to focus on being healthy and being good to my body,” the model says.
“I discovered boxing and it has really empowered me. I love going to work out now. It gets out aggression and my trainer really shakes it up so I don’t get bored,” Adriana further explains.
This is not the first time that Lima talks of boxing as her favorite way of staying in shape. Back when she was pregnant, she revealed she kept thin with boxing – and yoga.
“Boxing! It’s my favorite thing to do because it’s always exciting. It’s the best type of cardio that you can do. And you build up muscles without being too big, just lean muscles,” she was saying at the time, as we also informed you.
However, as her pregnancy moved along, she had to find other ways to stay in shape – less aggressive and demanding ways. Yoga was just the thing, she learned.
“I’m doing yoga now. I didn’t use to take it seriously, but now I realize it’s a really good way to get some exercise – and it’s fun,” she said in the same interview of a little over a year ago.
