She Does Pilates
Ferreira is one of the many stars who swears by a certain elongating workout. Her fitness regiment "involves Pilates a few times a week," she told Elle. "I've started seeing a personal trainer, which has been more challenging, but I guess that's the point." The Mayo Clinic describes the practice as "an accessible way to build strength in your core muscles for better posture, balance and flexibility. Pilates can be adapted to provide a gentle strength training and stability program, or it can be modified to give a seasoned athlete a challenging workout," they say.
She Is a Runner
Barbie likes to break a sweat by hitting the pavement. "I'm a big runner," she told Elle in 2015. However, she by no means considers herself an athlete. "In sports I was never as good as anyone else, I was dead last every race – one time I was third to last and I was like 'oh my god! Nailed it!'"
She Likes to "Lift Heavy"
You won't find Barbie doing tons of reps of low weights. "I like to lift heavy," she told Elle. "I'm not one for those little two-pound dumbbells – my goal is to be super-muscular in my 40s. Women get so worried about bulking up, but you don't really get big as a woman, it's not like you wake up one day and you're a muscle machine. I like classes, but only when it's not hardcore, because that's still an insecurity of mine."
She Prioritizes Sleep
You won't find Barbie partying into the early hours of the morning. She goes to sleep "pretty early," she revealed to Elle. "I like to sleep for as long as possible, as I tend to wake up at least five times in the night, so I have to give myself a lot of extra time." She is also an early riser, waking up at "7am, if I'm not working."
She Likes Smoothies and Smoothie Bowls
Barbie enjoys blended drinks and foods. "I've been terrible at eating breakfast lately. I like smoothies, and things that go down smoothie-cool – when I used to live in Williamsburg I used to get an acai bowl most mornings. It's like a smoothie in a bowl, and it has açai and almond butter and granola, so many different flavors, and it's raw vegan," she told Elle in 2015.
