Brazilian model and actor Cintia Dicker is grabbing some rare me-time. “I took the day for myself! Haircut @fil.freitas training @diogopyrrho, massage @liliamirandadrena and I even gave myself candles as a gift @vibe.burningessentials,” she captioned anew post, in which she wears workout gear. It’s not surpsing she namechecked Diogo Pyrrho; her fitness coach has kept her learn and mean. Here’s how she stays well.
1. She Has a Personal Trainer
Dicker has trained with coach Pyrrho for a while now and gets terrific results. “He was responsible for my weight loss together with my effort and my desire to change,” Dicker captioned one workout Q+A and video. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them,” says ACE Fitness.
2. She Does Jumping Jacks to Warm Up

Dicker does jumping jacks and runs in place before a good workout. “A good warm-up before a workout widens your blood vessels, ensuring that your muscles are well supplied with oxygen. It also raises your muscles’ temperature for the best flexibility and efficiency. By slowly raising your heart rate, the warm-up also helps minimize stress on your heart,” says the American Heart Association.
3. She Likes Nature
Dicker can often be seen photographed in nature. One study “ suggests that going for a walk in nature can have health promoting effects on stress-related brain regions, and consequently, it may act as a preventive measure against mental strain and potentially disease. Living in cities is associated with increased mental health risks,” says the Conservation Commission of Missouri, referring to this study.
4. She Gets Some Sun
“Sunlight actually affects our health in many ways, and it has many benefits that can improve your health and overall well-being. One of the main benefits is the way it supports vitamin D levels, which play an important role in our health. For today’s episode, I’d like to focus on the effects of this “sunshine vitamin” on our immune system, bone health, and mental health,” Mihaela Vincze, public health expert for nonprofit Transamerica Institute®, tells WYPR.
5. She Does Planks with Arm Reach
Dicker’s workout includes Plank with Arm Reach, in which you do a plank but then reach out to the floor in front of you with one arm, and then move it back. This strengthens your core and your back. She alternates these with more jumping jacks and Side Step Touches.
