Adriana Lima in Bikini Shares “Heart and Soul” Swimsuit Snaps

Adriana Lima is back in her bikini after having five kids. In a new social media post, the Brazilian model flaunts her amazing figure as part of a new magazine spread. “Thank you@voguechina for letting me shoot with my heart and soul — my family. A moment we’ll cherish forever!” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow 5 kids and she looks beautiful and healthy 🙌👏 Yes it is possible! where there’s a will, there’s a way,” one of her followers commented. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Adriana is motivated by longevity regarding her diet and exercise goals. “I plan to live a long time,” she told Elle. “Keeping your body healthy with workouts, it’s important what you put into your body. Eating this way gives you energy so you can have a long day of work and not feel exhausted.”

Lima relies on meal delivery services to ensure healthy eating. She sometimes travels with a cooler filled with pre-made meals from Perfecting Athletes, a South Florida-based nutrition service used by pro boxers and UFC fighters, which she microwaves in her hotel room. Most meals are plant based, like chickpeas, brown rice, and edamame. Can’t afford a meal delivery service? Meal prepping will help keep you on track.

Lima nourishes her body with food instead of supplements. “You can have these types of results and instead of having vitamins, you can use food as energy,” says Lima.  “Traveling and being at photo shoots, it’s kind of hard to find healthy food. I have these two girls I’m very lucky to have, Michelle [Ingels] and Paulina [Indara]. They are nutritionists and certified in Chinese medicine so they design my meals depending on what I’m doing at the gym. It keeps me moving.” What does she like to eat? “I love smoothies, fresh fruit, and veggies. I also take a daily vitamin and drink lots of different herbal teas to help purify my body,” she dished to CR Fashion Book. She also drinks “lots of water.”

Lima is a fan of 54D, a “human transformation program” that involves high-intensity training workouts, she revealed in one Instagram post. “Breathless today. It was so tough,” she captioned a post. But I enjoyed [it]!” There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. They are also time-effective.

Lima is a runner. “If I have a gym at my hotel, I’ll wake up and do a quick workout, or I’ll run outside as a way to see the place that I’m visiting,” Lima told CR Fashion Book. “Another good trick of mine is packing a jump rope and doing ten minutes in my room first thing in the morning to get my heart rate up.” According to the Mayo Clinic, running is excellent for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Adriana boxes with Michael Olajide Jr. of Aerospace. According to the model, throwing punches is her favorite workout. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and increase alertness.
