But it’s life,” she has said.

5. This is What “Brazilian Beauty Means to Her

Years ago, Ambrossio was asked what “Brazilian Beauty” means to her. “Brazilian beauty is very natural and fresh. When I'm in Brazil, I feel connected to nature and wear as little makeup as possible— a great sunscreen, lip balm, and rouge is simple and chic,” she told Harper’s Bazaar.

“Which exercises should we be doing for a six-pack and a toned” backside? These are my two areas of focus so I do a mix of barre, Pilates and cardio,” she has said. “Pilates (pronounced Pi-LAH-teez) is a system of exercises developed by Joseph Pilates that strengthens the body’s inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.

In addition, other benefits to practicing Pilates include:

• longer, leaner muscles

• relief from stress and back pain
• enhanced athletic performance
• heightened mind-body awareness,” says the Mayo Clinic.

I have the best time because the music is really loud and you don't really feel like you're working out. You feel like you're dancing and learning on this cool dance move. So that's what I'm into now. I might just put a DVD in my room and do all the [moves], like look like a crazy woman. And right now just keep hydrated, eat healthy. Just try to be as healthy as we can and out that's that's it, you know?” she told E! once.

4. Hiking is Great For You

“Hiking helps increase the strength in the leg muscles, builds stability in the core muscles and enhances balance skills. The more technical the terrain is, along with an increase in climbing intensity, the more balance and core strength is required because more muscles are being recruited to manage the steeper terrain. As you climb, the larger muscles in your legs are activated (such as the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves), and on the descent, your glutes and quadriceps are working hard to prevent you from falling forward on the decline. Uneven terrain means many of the smaller stabilizer muscles are being worked, which increases stability and balance overall,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Uses Hair Oil

Alessandra likes Marajó hair products. “It's from Brazil and has like a new miracle oil. And I just love it. I've been using and my hair feels like super shiny and healthy. When I met them, they wanted to come up with something that wasn't in the market that—they asked me like all these questions about Brazil and they went and found in the island of Marajó, which is this island in the Amazon. They found this amazing oil. And they asked me to try it. And I've been trying for like a year now and I loved it. love this smell. I love the way it feels. And it works in everyone's like every women's hair, everyone's hair actually.”
