Big Bang Theory's Alessandra Torresani Shares Swimsuit Photo From Miami

Alessandra Torresani is heating up Florida – in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Big Bang Theory star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while poolside in the Sunshine State. “When life gives you lemons, go to Miami and eat some,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at Soho Beach House. “Bringing sexy back,” commented one of her followers. “Beautiful,” added another. How does the 36-year-old maintain her amazing body? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.

1. She Takes Care of Her Mental Health

Alessandra, who played Claire on The Big Bang Theory, opened up about being diagnosed with bipolar 1 to 1 And 1. "I finally felt relieved when I was diagnosed, because I finally understood what was happening instead of feeling like something was constantly wrong with me," Torresani said. "After being diagnosed, I felt better because I knew more about how to get help and find the proper medication to help me. Not pinpointing it was very frustrating and hard because people just labeled me as crazy, but I knew there had to be a reason why I felt the way I did, and I could now identify it."

2. She Walks

Alessandra goes on a lot of walks. Sometimes she takes her baby in her stroller to get her steps in. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

3. She Rides Horses

Alessandra is all about riding horses. “I was beyond honored to host @namicommunicate Self Care University at @specialspiritinc equine therapy center! As a NAMI Ambassador, I have the opportunity to experience such unique, healing moments in the Mental Health space,” she captioned a recent post. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

4. She Hikes

Alessandra also enjoys hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones
• Improving your sense of balance
• Improving your heart health
• Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

5. She Swims

When she is near water, you can find Alessandra burning calories in the pool. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

1. Diving Training

Raymonde went through intense training for her role in Deep Blue Sea 3. “I got PADI certified before we flew out, then trained with the Frog Squad in Cape Town,” she says. “We rehearsed a lot of the diving sequences before we shot, especially the underwater fight scenes, some of which were pretty tricky (clearing a full face mask underwater isn’t easy). It was winter in South Africa, so the water was freezing. Some puppets were used, but mostly the ‘sharks’ on set were tennis balls on sticks.”

2. Shark Lover

Raymonde gained a real appreciation for sharks while staying in Cape Town. I made a bet with director John Pogue that we’d go cage diving in Cape Town before we started shooting (he agreed) but there was so much training involved before cameras rolled and I think there was a small concern I may get eaten before we started,” she says. “Climate change is killing sharks at a more accelerated rate than any other time in history. Their home like ours is under attack. This is a big deal!”

3. Los Angeles Native

Raymonde loves shopping and eating in her home town of Los Angeles. “I grew up in West LA,” she says. “I remember the old Santa Monica Place with nostalgia (they had an indoor waterfall in the food court) so I typically go to the mall and complain about how much nicer it used to be. Jonathan Adler has nice expensive things for the house, though! La Petite Porte is very romantic. I’m Corsican and I heard it’s owned by Corsicans although this may or may not be true. You can order a cheese plate at the bar and pretend you have a reservation.”

4. Improvisation Scenes

Raymonde says playing convicted killer Jodi Arias was a challenge, as they had to film while the actual trial was happening. “I kind of liked it. I do remember that we did some improvisation,” she says. “The trial parts were the parts that we had so much of almost exact footage to base it on. There was so much coverage and close ups of her on the stand, and some of the dialogue was word for word what she said when she was on the stand with the prosecutor. That wasn’t too tough. That was crazy, though. She’d be on TV every night and the next day, I’m sitting in the same courthouse wearing the same outfit saying the same line she said yesterday on live TV. It was a trip.”

5. Life In Corsica

Raymonde loves the lifestyle when she visits family in Corsica. “No day is complete without a stop at a café for a drink before dinner,” she says, showing a picture of a cocktail. “This one’s my favorite, it’s water flavored with Licorice and Mint, and it’s the prettiest color. My Mom’s miniature Schnauzer approves (though he might be color blind.) And finally, dinner — which starts late and ends very late. Some delicious cheeses to end the meal with fresh green tomato jelly, scraps for the family pup, and a beautiful view of the Place at night.”
