She Works Her Legs
Teixeira doesn’t skip leg day. She shared some of her favorite exercises in this Instagram video. Teixeira is seen doing things like squats and glute bridges. She captioned it, “Building them glutes 1 day at a time 💪🏼 #gluteworkout Save it and use it for your next Glute workout this way you don’t need to overthinking on what to do when you get to the gym 👊🏼🔥”
She Engages Her Muscles
Teixeira makes sure that her muscles are engaged when she works out. She shared her tips for doing this in lunges in the caption of this Instagram post. “The way you perform your lunges can change the muscles it activates. 🤓When you step forward you will activate more your quadriceps muscles than the glutes. But if you step backwards you will activate more your glutes than your quads. And if you keep your chest up you will feel more in your quads while if you keep your chest forward you will feel more in your glutes. I always perform it stepping backwards and with my chest forward to activate more the glutes than the quads because you know, us Bikini girls are all about the 🍑.”
She Strength Trains
Teixeira is seen pushing a weighted cart in this Instagram video. Strength training exercises like these have a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”
She Works Out With Others

Better Health states that this can have a lot of health benefits. “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money.”
She Uses A Waist Trainer
Teixeira revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that she uses a weight trainer to help with her muscles. “Wearing the @slimtum waist trainer original and also the Slimtum Pro has helped me a lot to slim down my waist line comparing to my last prep. 🥳I wear the Original size 4 for upper body workouts and outside the gym I wear size 3 for about 2 more hours a day, I prefer to wear it when I’m standing doing something in the house or walking around running errands like grocery shopping.🛒For my lower body workouts I like to wear the Slimtum Pro size 2. It gives the best protection to my lower back, midsection and keeps my waist small when I’m lifting heavier weights.”
