1. She Does Cardio

"I hate traditional cardio. Running is my worst nightmare," Irina told Yahoo, but she still does it: "Cardio's always good. It makes you sweat, it's the best.” “The Department of Health and Human Services also recommends getting 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. Being active 30 minutes a day on most days of the week can help you meet the guidelines,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Works Out in Her Hotel Room

“I’m in hotel rooms most of the time, and it can be hard to find a hotel with a nice gym,” Shayk told Vogue. “It was important for me to have a workout I could do in my room.” She added: “If you’re feeling jet lagged, or too lazy to get dressed, you can basically watch TV and do these moves.” One, says Vogue: “Grab a pillow for balance, and place your left leg straight behind you on the bed with your toe pointed. Bend your standing knee and lean your torso slightly forward. Then, lift up your left leg slowly and bring it out to the side, tapping it briefly back down on the bed before lifting it again and bringing it back straight behind you. Keep your arms tight, and engage the core, butt, hips, and thighs. Perform 15 to 20 reps, then switch sides.”

3. She Eats Clean Before Shoots

Shayk eats soups and salads before shoots. “Eating raw vegetables and fruits is a great way of incorporating more fiber into our diet, and this includes leafy greens. When you include fiber in your daily diet, you can help prevent obesity and type 2 Diabetes, as well as aid in healthy digestion,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That! "To increase your fiber intake when you reach for the salad, try adding some tomatoes, carrots, or cucumbers.”

4. She Loves the Beach

You can run on the beach or: “Nobody ever said lying on the beach was the only way to relax. When choosing a vacation destination, look into a spot where you can go hiking, zip lining or even country line dance the night away — whatever moves you,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When looking at hotel or vacation rentals, spend some time exploring online to see what's around. Consider whether there are sidewalks, bike lanes, mass transit options or amenities you'd enjoy within walking distance.”
