See how the model maintains her strength and health.

The Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio rose to fame when she became a Victoria’s Secret angel, strutting down the runway for many Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows. In addition to modeling, her acting career has kept her busy, but her health and wellness goes are always a top priority. Here are five ways that she stays bikini body strong.

She rides horses

In addition to working out, she finds other ways to spend her time on experiences like horseback riding. Spending time outside, connecting with animals, all while getting a little activity in is a great way to find wellness activities that can be fun beyond breaking a sweat in the gym. “Island days, wild hearts,” she said on Instagram in a series of photos.

She rides the waves, surfing when she gets the chance. “Awesome moments with my gals 🏄‍♀️ thank u @surflandbrasil,” she said on Instagram. According to Better Health, “surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling [and] shoulder and back strength (these muscles will strengthen from the paddling), [in addition to] leg and core strength (once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up).”

She works to stay centered, prioritizing her mental health in addition to her physical health and partnering with brands that help her along the way. “Life moves fast, but I always create small rituals that bring me back to center. A moment to reset, a sip of @trip.drinks, and suddenly everything feels lighter. Here’s to choosing calm, even on the wildest days. 💖 #TRIPpartner #ad,” she said on Instagram.

She knows that staying in shape takes real work in the gym, as seen here working on her arms, abs, weightlifting, walking, and putting in reps on a stairmaster to stay healthy and strong. “Welcome to my @technogym. Perfect way to start the new year,” she said on Instagram on a video of her breaking a sweat.
